In July 2026, Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust reported higher quarterly and half-year sales but swung to a net loss, while also confirming continued monthly cash distributions and unveiling a new multifamily co-ownership with Desjardins Global Asset Management seeded with a CAD 292 million Western Canada portfolio. This partnership not only validates Boardwalk’s IFRS asset values and maintains its 50% ownership stake, but also introduces recurring fee income through management and...

Delta Apparel (DLAP.Q) Overview: Delta Apparel is a vertically integrated...

AI hungry data centers have suddenly put nuclear power back in the spotlight, yet many nuclear stocks, including Cameco, Centrus Energy, Oklo, NuScale Power, and Nano Nuclear Energy, have seen sharp share price declines. That mix of excitement and setback can create openings for patient investors who do their homework. This article walks through 3 stocks exposed to the latest nuclear fuel headlines and explains why each might deserve a closer look now. The stocks covered below are just a...

Algonquin Power & Utilities stock came into earnings stuck in a grinding drift, down over the past week, month and quarter with shares closing at CA$7.99 just as the Q2 numbers hit. The market looked tired of the story. The earnings print itself was more nuanced. Adjusted earnings per share for the quarter landed at US$0.04, essentially flat, while reported net income from continuing operations over the last twelve months sat in the low hundreds of millions. The real flashpoint for sentiment...

MDA Space walked into this earnings print with a flat 30 day share performance and a stock at CA$48.22 that had barely moved over three months, despite a sharp 7 day pop. The market was undecided on whether this space story still earned its rich P/E multiple. The headline today is simple. Revenue landed at CA$498.6m for Q2 and adjusted EBITDA margin sat around the high teens, yet basic earnings per share slipped quarter on quarter. The tension for investors is between strong top line momentum...

Canadian Natural Resources has delivered a very large 5 year return while the broader valuation checks still suggest the stock leans cheap rather than fully priced in. After that kind of run, the question for investors is whether the current share price around C$63.45 still reflects value or has already captured most of the good news. The stock has returned about 294.5% over the past 5 years, which puts recent price moves into the context of a long and powerful uptrend. Recent record...

Emera stock comes into this earnings report under a cloud, with the shares down about 5% over the past week and about 6% over the past month despite a relatively flat 90 day stretch. The immediate reaction suggests investors are focused on risk. The headline from the quarter tells a different story. Adjusted earnings per share of about C$0.69 keep Emera on track for management’s multi year adjusted EPS growth target, and the pending New Mexico Gas sale, with US$650m to US$700m of expected...

E-L Financial stock closed at CA$17.79 on the day of its Q2 release, after a steady few months in the market. The headline inside the numbers is very different from the quiet share price. The insurer just posted quarterly net income of CA$1,013.9m on revenue of CA$1,736.7m, and the trailing P/E sits at 3.4x. For short term traders, that gap between earnings power and valuation will be the immediate focal point. For longer term holders, the focus is on whether a 43.9% trailing net margin and a...

ACT Energy Technologies stock went into this earnings print trading around CA$6.12, with recent returns mixed and investor expectations muted despite a low P/E multiple. The headline from Q2 is a classic profit squeeze story. Revenue reached CA$178.5m, yet net income landed at just CA$2.5m and basic earnings per share came in at CA$0.06. For a company that has been priced at a clear discount to energy services peers, the widening gap between sales and earnings is now the key issue that short...

Docebo stock went into this earnings print already on a strong run, up about 19% over the past three months and closing at CA$31.09 on the day of the release. The headline this quarter is clear. Revenue reached US$68.65m and basic earnings per share came in at US$0.09, which marks a clean swing back into profit after a loss in Q1. In the very short term traders will focus on that earnings rebound. Long term investors will weigh it against a P/E of 16.5x and a discounted cash flow estimate...

Ensign Energy Services stock closed at CA$3.21 on the day the Q2 report hit, after a tough run that left the shares down about 22% over the past three months. The mood around the stock looks tired just as the earnings story becomes more complicated. Revenue reached CA$397.3m and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization came in at CA$85.8m, yet the company still reported a loss. The real question for investors now is whether the market is correctly pricing a...

Algonquin Power & Utilities stock is still working to recover after the share price declined about 46% over the past 5 years, yet its current valuation checks suggest the market may now be pricing the company on the cheap side. With the company planning to redomicile to the US and seek broader index inclusion, investors are weighing that potential re rating against a mixed share price record. The share price is down roughly 46% over 5 years, which puts a spotlight on whether today’s level...

After a very strong five year run, Manulife Financial now screens as roughly fairly valued on headline multiples. This makes the recent share gains harder to call a clear bargain or a clear stretch. Manulife Financial has returned about 208.3% over the past five years, which puts extra focus on whether the current price still leaves much upside for new investors. The recent 16% rise in core earnings and the long term care reinsurance deal with Munich Re can support confidence in the...

Ltd. recently reported its second-quarter and six-month 2026 results, with sales easing to US$1,434 million for the quarter and the company posting a net loss of US$61 million, extending its year-to-date loss to US$249 million.

Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership entered this earnings release with the stock flat over the past month and quarter, and down about 3% over 90 days, while trading well below a discounted cash flow fair value estimate. The headline today is profit strength. Q2 basic earnings per share came in at US$1.98 on revenue of US$2.52b, and trailing earnings over the last year have been strong enough to lift net profit margin to 18.8%. The market now has to decide whether that...

Todd Blanche’s razor thin confirmation as U.S. Attorney General, his agreement to narrow tax immunity and the end of Trump’s US$1.8b “anti weaponization” fund have pushed defense and security stocks back into the spotlight. Policy uncertainty, questions over DOJ independence and record low crime figures create both comfort and unease for capital. This article examines three stocks exposed to these headlines and outlines how investors might evaluate their associated risks and potential...

The three stocks covered below are just a sample, and the full screen surfaced 27...

Wheaton Precious Metals stock came into this earnings print already running hot, with the share price up about 23% over the past month and trading on a P/E of 29.8x. The market has been paying up for a clean, high margin streaming story. Today's headline is simple. Q2 delivered strong revenue of US$929.2m and net income of US$543.2m, backed by record production and cash flow, which goes a long way to justifying that premium.
