Canadian Insurance Stock News

Extendicare stock closed at CA$32.44 after a rough few weeks, with the share price down about 12% over the past month, yet the latest earnings tell a more supportive story. Q2 revenue landed at CA$611.0m, helped by the CBI Health acquisition and broader home care growth, while adjusted funds from operations per share climbed strongly to CA$0.448. The short term looks choppy on the screen, but for long term investors the bigger question is whether this step change in scale and cash generation...

Yellow Pages stock came into this earnings release quietly ahead, with a 30 day gain of about 3.5%, and now sits near CA$13.20. The market has treated this as a steady income story, but the headline from the numbers is different. Q2 revenue is CA$47.6m, while net income is CA$3.3m and basic earnings per share are CA$0.25. The board has supported that with a CA$0.25 dividend and a CA$25.3m buyback. The short term story is focused on how long that level of cash return can be sustained. Love the...

Atrium Mortgage Investment’s stock has drifted sideways in recent months, yet today’s earnings ask investors to pick a side. You are looking at a lender trading on an 11.8x P/E while its mortgage portfolio has slipped to CA$860.1m and net income in Q2 came in at CA$11.7m, or CA$0.24 per share. The market’s muted reaction sits awkwardly against a story built around balance sheet strain and portfolio churn rather than a clean growth narrative. This quarter is really about whether that squeeze...

BCE stock comes into this earnings print treading water, with the share price roughly flat over the past month after a modest rebound in the past week. The quick read on today is simple: the market is staring at a low P/E of about 4.7x and a headline net margin near 25% that are flattered by a very large one off gain of about CA$4.2b. The real story for long term holders is different. Analysts expect earnings to decline over the next few years while revenue grows slowly. That tension between...

The market has been edging into Savaria ahead of these results, with the stock up about 4.4% over the past week to CA$30.40, and only a modest slip over the past month. The headline today is profit strength. Q2 net income reached CA$25.2m on CA$245.8m of revenue, while adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 21.1%, supported by a record 39.6% gross margin. Short term traders are reacting to a clean beat on profitability. Long term investors will be weighing that margin profile against management’s...

AirBoss of America stock has drifted lower over the past quarter, yet the latest earnings offered a cleaner signal than the share price suggests. Q2 2026 brought revenue of US$107.9m and a return to positive earnings per share at US$0.09, with net income of US$2.5m, in a business that has been loss making over the last twelve months. The sentiment reckoning for investors now is clear. The stock trades as if past losses still define the story, while this quarter points to a margin and...

Traders have chased Ero Copper higher for weeks, with the stock up roughly 41% over the past month into today’s close at CA$47.78, and Q2 results now put that optimism under a harsher light. The headline is margin power. The business produced US$284.3m in revenue and US$89.5m in net income, leaving investors to judge whether the current P/E of 11.5x, compared with higher industry multiples, reflects underappreciated copper earnings strength or a market that still doubts how durable these...

Canadian Natural Resources stock closed at CA$63.45 after a choppy week that left shares slightly softer over seven days, even as the company reported one of its punchiest quarters on record. The market cooled on the stock just as Q2 2026 earnings and cash generation landed with real weight. The headline is simple. Canadian Natural Resources reported adjusted net earnings of about CA$4.6b and record adjusted funds flow of roughly CA$6.9b, powered by record production. Today’s price reaction...

Markets are wrestling with higher oil prices, unsettled Middle East geopolitics and fresh headlines about AI bubbles, yet corporate earnings from the S&P 500 are running at their strongest pace since 2021. Income investors do not need to sit on the sidelines. This article walks through three high dividend stocks from our screener that appear more exposed to these news catalysts and explains how their cash payouts might fit your portfolio plan. The three stocks below are only a small sample,...

Chartwell Retirement Residences heads into this earnings season with the stock down roughly 5% over the past week and about 7% over the past month, even as the underlying business posts another quarter of revenue growth and stronger operating cash flow. The headline this quarter is not accounting profit. It is the jump in Funds From Operations to CA$90.5m and a 16.7% gain in FFO per unit to CA$0.28, powered by higher occupancy and healthier net operating income. That clash between a softer...

Rogers Sugar came into this earnings print as a high yield, low expectation stock, trading on a P/E of 13.1x that sits well below both the North American food industry and its direct peers. That discount met a set of results that looked more like a margin story than a growth scare. Adjusted net earnings landed at $16m with adjusted EBITDA of $36m and free cash flow over the past year at $90m, enough to keep the long running $0.09 quarterly dividend intact and the investment case focused on...

Altus Group stock came into the Q2 print with a solid run behind it, up about 18% over the past three months and closing at CA$52.43 on 7 August. The headline today is not revenue, which sat at CA$112.7m, or even another small loss per share. The real story is the earnings quality behind those numbers. Adjusted EBITDA and margins moved sharply higher while reported net income still showed a loss, pulled down by foreign exchange swings and one off costs. Short term noise, long term margin...

South Bow stock heads into the post-earnings trade out of favour, down about 4% over the past week and 5% over the past month, even with a modest 3-month gain still on the board. The headline today is earnings power. Q2 basic earnings per share came in at US$0.64 on revenue of US$546m, a level that keeps trailing twelve-month earnings up strongly over the past year and net margin sitting at 23%. The real story for investors now is the tension between that stronger profitability and analyst...

Keyera stock heads into this earnings reaction piece with a mixed scorecard. The share price is roughly flat over three months after a weaker week and month, yet the latest quarter dropped a sharp headline. Net income jumped to CA$307.9m and basic earnings per share hit CA$1.19 as the company absorbed two big midstream deals and pushed fee based assets harder. Short term traders are focused on that rebound. Longer term investors are more likely to fixate on the squeeze in trailing profit...

Artemis Gold stock closed at CA$41.17 today after a strong run over the past month, yet the real story sits in the latest quarter. Q2 delivered roughly CA$433.6m in revenue and about CA$199.0m in net income, powered by record production and a very lean all in sustaining cost of US$955 per ounce. The market is reacting to a miner that now throws off substantial cash while still spending heavily on growth. For anyone thinking beyond this week, the question is how those Q2 margins and project...

Alimentation Couche-Tard has recently shifted its Circle K Inner Circle rewards program to a visit-based model, echoing similar changes by regional rival Weigel’s to emphasize frequency of store trips over spending levels. This pivot highlights how Couche-Tard is trying to appeal to price-sensitive convenience shoppers and deepen engagement through simpler, behavior-focused loyalty incentives that could influence customer retention and competitive positioning. We’ll now examine how this move...

Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although...

Kronos Worldwide recently posted stronger-than-expected quarterly results, while Pan American Silver’s August 12 earnings release has already taken place and was previously anticipated to show higher earnings and revenue. Analyst estimate revisions had turned more cautious ahead of Pan American Silver’s report, highlighting a tension between expected growth and reduced confidence in near-term earnings strength. We’ll now examine how changing analyst sentiment around Pan American Silver’s...
