In this episode, we break down the latest earnings from several well-known companies across different sectors. We kick things off with Canada Goose, which posted strong margin expansion but continues to face sluggish full-year growth and ongoing wholesale weakness.

Next, we take a look at Home Depot, which continues to navigate a challenging macro environment with stable results, while also highlighting an intriguing long-term thesis on deferred home improvement demand.

We also dive into the surging popularity of covered call ETFs in Canada. But what are the real risks and benefits of these ETFs?

What Canadian Tire’s Earnings Reveal About the Canadian Consumer
In this episode, we break down Canada’s April CPI print, which came in below 2% largely due to the removal of the consumer carbon tax. We explain why this drop is likely temporary and what core inflation measures are still signaling to the Bank of Canada. We also discuss Moody’s long-anticipated downgrade of U.S. government debt, how it compares to past downgrades, and what surging bond yields mean for investors on both sides of the border. In company news, Dan shares his take on Boyd Group’s latest results, including why he’s still holding despite near-term headwinds. We also cover Canadian Tire’s earnings, consumer credit data, and what it tells us about the average Canadian household. Finally, we look at South Bow’s first-quarter results post-spinout from TC Energy and assess the sustainability of its high dividend yield.
