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...

On the same day, Laurel announced a partnership with Thomson Reuters to link AI-powered legal work to measurable business outcomes, tying Thomson Reuters’ CoCounsel Legal...

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...
