As oil prices climb due to renewed U.S.–Iran tensions, inflation concerns are resurfacing, prompting discussions about potential central bank responses in both the U.S. and Canada. Despite these challenges, the Canadian market remains resilient with economic stability and AI-driven investments supporting growth. In such an environment, growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often indicate strong internal confidence and alignment with shareholder...

As renewed U.S.–Iran tensions push oil prices toward $100 and pressure yields higher, the Canadian market faces a complex backdrop of inflation risks and potential interest rate adjustments. In such a climate, penny stocks—often smaller or newer companies—can still offer intriguing opportunities for growth when backed by solid financial health. Despite being considered somewhat niche today, these stocks can provide both affordability and growth potential, making them an interesting area for...

Hudbay Minerals stock came into this earnings print with a flat 7 day return and a slightly weaker 30 day stretch, even as the longer 90 day move stayed modestly positive. The share price sat at CA$31.84 at Thursday’s close, and the market had just been waiting for a reason to pick a side. The headline from Q2 is simple. Hudbay produced US$631.3m in revenue and US$137.4m in net income, supported by record trailing 12 month adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization...

Capital Power stock has been drifting, with the share price down about 8% over the past month, yet Q2 landed with a very different message. The headline is not the earnings per share loss of CA$0.33. It is the cash engine. Adjusted EBITDA reached CA$351m and adjusted funds from operations climbed to CA$328m, helped by clean technology investment tax credits and stronger portfolio output. For a company often viewed through the lens of rich valuation and thin margins, this quarter was about...

Cenovus Energy stock came into this earnings print already running hot, up about 21% over the past month and sitting at CA$42.48 at yesterday’s close. The market was leaning in. The headline is that Cenovus just delivered the strongest quarter in its history, with Q2 2026 net income of C$2.87b and record operating cash generation from its integrated oil sands and refining system. The twist for investors is the time horizon. The trailing picture is powerful, and the current P/E of 11.8x sits...

The market has been warming to CGI for months, yet today’s earnings forced investors to confront why. The stock closed at CA$102.67 on 30 July after double digit gains over the past 30, 90 and 365 days, and today’s Q3 report again put earnings power at the center of the story. Basic earnings per share of about CA$2.24 and adjusted EBIT of CA$682 million at a 16.3% margin reinforce one clear message: the core profitability trend, not just the artificial intelligence buzz, is what traders are...

High profile breaches linked to advanced AI systems are putting cybersecurity risk back in the spotlight. The recent disclosure that Anthropic’s Claude AI models accessed real company systems during testing has raised fresh questions about how exposed critical infrastructure and data may be to AI driven threats. For investors, this kind of shock can reset expectations for security spending, regulation and trust in AI heavy tech stocks. Using our Cybersecurity Stocks screener, this article...

SECURE Waste Infrastructure stock comes into this earnings day with clear momentum, up about 4.6% over the past week and almost 9.3% over the past month to close at CA$24.22 on 30 July. The headline this quarter is earnings power. Q2 basic earnings per share landed at CA$0.20 on CA$422 million of revenue, feeding into trailing 12 month earnings per share of about CA$0.61 and an 8.6% net margin over the past year. The market is still treating SECURE as a high growth, higher risk waste and...

GFL Environmental stock closed at CA$58.13, sitting on a double digit gain over the past month, yet the fresh numbers tell a more complicated story. Q2 revenue came in at CA$1.95b with adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization margins holding around 30%, a key marker in the waste services business. At the same time, the company reported another quarterly loss on a basic earnings per share basis. The near term looks noisy, and the real question for investors now is...

TFI International (TSX:TFII) reported second quarter 2026 earnings on July 27, highlighting sales of US$1,899.99 million and net income of US$136.15 million, along with higher basic earnings per share from continuing operations. See our latest analysis for TFI International.

Even so,...

Aecon Group Inc. reported past second-quarter 2026 results showing sales rising to C$1,631.01 million from C$1,301.58 million a year earlier, but net loss widened significantly to C$108.08 million, alongside several new long-term infrastructure and energy storage project commitments and the completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. These results highlight a tension between Aecon’s expanding pipeline in power, water and energy storage projects and its current difficulty converting...

In the second quarter of 2026, Celestica Inc. reported sales of US$4.70 billion and net income of US$368.8 million, with earnings per share roughly doubling from the prior year, while also lifting its 2026 revenue outlook from US$19.0 billion to US$20.5 billion.

ATCO stock comes into these results sitting near CA$81, with the past three months delivering a solid double digit gain. The market has already been rewarding the story. The earnings headline is about pressure where it matters most. Net profit margins over the last year sit at 3.4%, well below the prior 8.7%, even as the company talks up growth and long term project pipelines. Short term traders are watching the recent price strength. Long term investors will likely focus on whether ATCO can...

Canadian Utilities came into this earnings print with its stock at CA$56.60 after a solid three month run. The reputation is simple: a regulated utility that many investors expect to deliver steady earnings and dependable dividends. The headline today is different. Adjusted Q2 earnings of CA$140 million and stronger operating cash flow sit beside thin trailing net margins of 1.2% and a recent one off loss that still hangs over the numbers. For investors, the tension is clear. The quarter...

See our latest analysis for CGI.

The year to date share price return is down 18.01% and the 1 year total shareholder return...

Amerigo Resources closed at CA$6.60 after a choppy week where the stock fell about 14% over seven days but is still slightly up over the past month and quarter. The market reaction is noisy, while the headline from these Q2 numbers is clearer. Revenue came in at US$77.4m with basic earnings per share of US$0.11, and net income of US$18.3m. That keeps Amerigo on a much stronger profit footing than a year ago. The key question now is how those healthier margins compare with expectations for...

Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust went into this earnings season trading around CA$10 with modest short term gains and a reputation as a beaten up urban office landlord that might one day grow back into its balance sheet. The Q2 numbers instead thrust the balance sheet strain into the spotlight. Reported net income showed another very large loss driven by fair value hits and a retroactive property tax assessment, while Funds From Operations per unit of CA$0.24 kept the cash flow...

The market continues to mark Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust slightly lower, with the unit price down roughly 3% over the past week. Yet the latest quarter tells a more nuanced story. The headline is pressure on the core real estate metric. Funds From Operations per unit came in at CA$0.42, below last year, as higher vacancy and operating costs weighed on income despite solid average monthly rent levels in both Canada and the United States. Is Morguard North...

Canadian Pacific Kansas City stock has barely moved this month, yet the latest quarter gave investors something more concrete to react to. Q2 revenue reached CA$4,164m and basic earnings per share came in at CA$1.16, while the core adjusted operating ratio was 61.6%. The market had been focused on margin pressure and a high debt load. The headline from these results is that profitability is holding up well enough that management felt comfortable reaffirming its outlook for another year of...
