Board change and fresh results put Constellation Software in focus Constellation Software (TSX:CSU) has drawn fresh attention after reporting 17% revenue growth to $3.335b in the second quarter of 2026, alongside continued acquisition activity and a new $1.00 per share dividend declaration. Constellation Software’s latest move has played out against a choppy backdrop, with the share price up 2.49% on the day to CA$2,827.94 but down 8.05% over 30 days and the 1-year total shareholder return...

Talon Metals (TSX:TLO) just reshaped its development plan for the Tamarack nickel copper cobalt project by opting to process future material at its existing Humboldt Mill in Michigan rather than build a new North Dakota facility. The recent processing decision lands after a sharp run in Talon Metals’ 1-month share price return of 41.5% and a 7-day gain of 36.5%, capped by a 1-day drop of 7.1% that hints at some profit taking after strong drill and project news. Over a longer horizon, momentum...

Oil suddenly feels less predictable. A key Saudi pipeline is offline, crude sits above $100, and shipping routes near the Red Sea face fresh security questions, so integrated producers like Saudi Aramco are back under the spotlight. That kind of shock can punish some sectors and open doors in others. This article walks through three large global oil and gas stocks exposed to these headlines and explains what their business mix might mean for your portfolio. The three stocks below are only a...

Franco-Nevada recently reported Q2 2026 results where earnings came in below estimates, while revenue reflected stronger precious metal and oil pricing alongside higher volumes from several producing assets. Management now expects 2026 gold-equivalent ounce sales to sit toward the upper half of its guidance range, pointing to meaningful contributions from new projects despite the recent earnings shortfall. We will now explore how Franco-Nevada's investment narrative could be influenced by...

Hudbay Minerals has turned a very strong 3 year share run into a valuation puzzle, because the stock screens as about fairly priced on multiples while the broad value checks lean expensive rather than obviously cheap. The share price has gained about 445% over the past 3 years, which puts past returns at an unusually high level that may not repeat in the same way. Investor focus on Hudbay Minerals' copper growth pipeline and project execution can support the current market value. However,...

Medius AB previously announced an integration of Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE indirect tax determination into its AP Automation platform, while Thomson Reuters also priced US$800 million of 5.100% notes due 2028 and C$1 billion of Canadian notes, with proceeds earmarked for general corporate purposes including commercial paper repayment. The new tax integration and large-scale debt funding together highlight how Thomson Reuters is pushing deeper into embedded tax workflows, while at the same...

NFI Group (TSX:NFI) has drawn attention after recent share price moves, with the stock down about 6% over the past month but still showing a gain over the past 3 months. At around CA$23.51, NFI Group has given investors a strong year-to-date share price return of about 46%. More recent momentum has cooled, with a 7-day share price return of roughly down 3% and a 30-day share price return of roughly down 6%. The 1-year total shareholder return of about 31% and 3-year total shareholder return...

When world headlines keep circling back to conflict, record US federal debt above $40b and questions over long term US leadership, investors start hunting for assets that do not rely on political calm. That shift can create pockets of opportunity as money moves away from familiar benchmarks and toward perceived shelters. This article walks through three stocks from our Global Gold Miners and Bullion Linked Equities screener that are closely exposed to these geopolitical currents. The three...

Lightspeed Commerce (TSX:LSPD) has been back in focus after two pieces of operational news: a new golf partnership in Quebec and a ShipStation integration, coincided with a 1.84% daily share price gain. For context, Lightspeed Commerce shares have given investors a 2.68% 90 day share price return. However, the year to date share price return is down 14.5% and the 1 year total shareholder return is down 16%, signalling that recent momentum is only starting to improve after a much longer...

Celestica (TSX:CLS) has reshaped its senior ranks, creating a Group President, Global Markets role for long-time CFO Mandeep Chawla and elevating Todd Ankenmann to Chief Financial Officer effective October 1, 2026. Investors have been reacting quickly to these leadership changes, with Celestica’s share price up 6.64% over the last day and 11.05% over the past week, while the 90 day share price return is down 12.72% and the 1 year total shareholder return sits at 43.55%, indicating strong long...

TELUS has been a rough ride for long term holders, with the share price down 39.5% over five years. However, the valuation checks now lean cheap on several fronts. For anyone looking at the stock today, the puzzle is whether that weaker share performance has already reset expectations enough to make the current price look attractive. The 39.5% share price decline over five years points to a business that has lost investor confidence and now trades with a long memory of disappointment baked...

Headwater Exploration (TSX:HWX) moved into the spotlight after Tamarack Valley Energy agreed to acquire the producer in an all-stock deal valued at about CA$3.2b, with investors set to receive Tamarack shares. Headwater Exploration shares now trade at CA$13.51. While the 1-day and 7-day share price returns have slipped 1.82% and 4.99% as the Tamarack deal terms settle in, the year-to-date share price return of 41.61% and 1-year total shareholder return of 95.33% point to momentum that has...

Wesdome Gold Mines reported new exploration results from the Kiena mine in Quebec, confirming the Norbenite Footwall Zone over roughly 150 vertical metres and outlining a new VZ Zone and parallel high grade vein located within tens of metres of existing underground infrastructure. The combination of thick, high grade intercepts in competent basalt rock and proximity to current workings indicates potentially meaningful additions to Kiena’s mine plan without requiring entirely new access...

Enghouse Systems came into this print with a stock that has drifted, roughly flat over the past week and down over the past month, yet still trading on a low trailing P/E of 12.8x for a software company. The headline this quarter is not the top line; it is the margin story. Adjusted EBITDA reached $30.8m on $117.6m of revenue, with the EBITDA margin at 26.2% and comfortably in the mid 20% range that management targets. For investors watching a rich dividend that is not fully covered by recent...

Tecsys stock came into this earnings print on the back foot, with the share price down almost 18% over the past three months, yet the latest quarter told a very different story. Q1 delivered record revenue of CA$50.0m and adjusted EBITDA of CA$6.9m, and net profit climbed to CA$3.1m or CA$0.21 per share. The real pivot was in software as a service, where Tecsys grew SaaS revenue to CA$22.7m and pushed remaining performance obligations past CA$250m. Short term sentiment has been cautious, but...

Empire (TSX:EMP.A) is back on income investors' radar after its board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.2425 per share, with payment scheduled for October 30, 2026, to eligible shareholders. Empire’s dividend update lands after a softer stretch for the shares, with the 30-day share price return down 7.52% and the year-to-date share price return lower by 5.33% at a recent CA$45.61. However, the 3-year total shareholder return of 31.74% still reflects a stronger longer-run outcome. Spot 2...

Descartes Systems Group just posted record Q2 software results while the share price has drifted, with the stock down roughly 3% over the past week and 2% over the past month into today’s CA$105.32 close. Traders look cautious. The business just printed US$201.1m in quarterly revenue and US$50.0m in net income, plus a record adjusted EBITDA margin near 47%. That gap between soft recent returns and robust profitability is the sentiment story that now matters most. Love Descartes Systems...

Cameco has delivered a very strong run over the past five years, yet investors now face a split verdict on value, with the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value estimate pointing to some upside while market multiples suggest the stock already trades on a rich valuation. Cameco has returned about 374.2% over five years, which puts recent short term share price softness into a much longer backdrop of strong gains. Restarts at high grade uranium assets and exposure to potential...

Wheaton Precious Metals reported record first half 2026 revenue of $1.8 billion and second quarter revenue of $929 million, with net earnings of $543 million. These results were supported by higher realized gold equivalent prices, increased production and the closing of a $4.3 billion Antamina silver stream. The Antamina acquisition and the BHP precious metals purchase agreement, effective from April 2026, materially expand Wheaton Precious Metals' long-life silver exposure and reshape its...

Groupe Dynamite walked into this earnings day with its stock already under pressure, down roughly 20% over the past three months. Yet the latest report reads more like a confidence check than a crisis. The market is treating the retailer as if the story has cooled, while the financials show something different. The main focus is the profit engine. Q2 basic earnings per share came in at CA$1.04 on CA$423.6m of revenue, with net income of CA$113.4m. That level of earnings power sits awkwardly...

ADF Group stock heads into the post earnings session under pressure, with the share price down about 17% over the past week and almost 15% over the last month. The headline is not about sales growth; the story is the profit squeeze. Quarterly revenue of CA$95.0m came with net income of just CA$2.95m and a trailing net margin of 9.2%, which is well below last year’s 13.2%. For investors, that gap between healthy activity and thinner profitability is the real signal to watch over the longer...

Energy security has moved from background worry to front-page story as supply routes, inflation and policy all pull in different directions. That mix is shaking prices and creating openings for investors who can sort durable energy infrastructure from the noise. This article focuses on three large cap stocks from our Global Energy Security and Infrastructure Stocks screener that are closely tied to the latest headlines and could reshape how you think about risk and income today. The three...

Magellan Aerospace has been highlighted by LionGuard Capital Management CEO Andrey Omelchak as well placed to benefit from stronger commercial aerospace demand and increased defence spending, supported by aircraft backlogs at key customers such as Airbus and Boeing. The comments point to potential upside in Magellan Aerospace's existing spare defence capacity, which could be used if Canada and other NATO members award additional contracts as they lift defence budgets. This article examines...
