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...

The market has been paying up for a clean, high margin streaming story. Today's headline is simple.

Cresco Labs went into this earnings print as a discounted cannabis stock, trading at CA$1.05 and sitting well below some valuation estimates despite a weak 90 day return.

ATS goes into this earnings season with the stock sitting at CA$29.52 after a sharp slide over the last quarter.

Lundin Gold stock came into this earnings print with a market that had already rewarded it over the past month, and a fresh close at about CA$92 suggests expectations were high. The headline from Q2 is simple. The mine kept throwing off cash and profits, even as quarterly revenue and earnings per share sat below Q1 levels. With net income of about US$220 million and strong operating cash flow in the bank, the real story now is how much of that quality shows up in future quarters versus what...

Enerflex stock has been grinding lower for months and closed at CA$27.87 after the latest results, even as the long term thesis still leans on growth in energy infrastructure and engineered systems. The headline this quarter is pressure on profitability. Q2 revenue landed at US$582m, but net income from ongoing operations came in at US$30m and trailing net margin over the past year sits at 2.1%. That is a thin cushion for a stock trading on a P/E multiple well above the broader energy...

SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust came into this earnings release with a soft patch in the rear-view mirror. The unit price is down about 2.6% over the past week and roughly 5.6% over the past month, even after closing at CA$28.77 on 7 August. The headline from Q2 is not about rental income or occupancy.

Premium Brands Holdings went into this earnings print with a bruised share price, down about 9.6% over the past week and roughly 6.7% over three months, and a very rich trailing P/E multiple sitting far above food peers.

Net profit margin over the last 12 months sits at 0.4%, and basic earnings per share...

Underlying earnings per share landed at $2.02, well ahead of recent quarters, and underlying net income reached $1.12b. For short term traders, the muted move can feel underwhelming. For long term investors, the larger focus is on the double digit underlying EPS growth and management’s reaffirmed...
