Companies in the news:
Dollarama Inc. (TSX:DOL). Up $1.09, or 1.37 per cent, to $80.59. Discount retailer Dollarama Inc. said it is winning over new customers as Canadian shoppers "trade down" from more expensive stores and gravitate toward the dollar store's cheaper prices amid inflation. The Montreal-based company raised its comparable store sales guidance for the year as it reported a second-quarter profit of $193.5 million, up from $146.2 million in the same quarter last year, as sales rose 18.2 per cent.
Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX). Up 86 cents, or 10.29 per cent, to $9.22. Cineplex Inc. says its box office revenue amounted to $36 million in August, a total representing 64 per cent of the figure for August 2019 before the pandemic pummelled the movie theatre industry. The results come after a strong July, which saw $66 million in box office revenue or 85 per cent of the mark reached in July 2019. Cineplex says movies "Bullet Train" and "Top Gun: Maverick" were the main drivers behind the August box office results.

In its latest outlook, it says a complex macroeconomic environment and ongoing pandemic-related impacts continue to put pressure on advertising revenues.
