Companies in the news:
Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. (TSX:CTC.A). Retail. Down $7.89, or 4.54 per cent, to $166.01. Demand for non-essential items at Canadian Tire stores took a dive last quarter as the company said customers are increasingly feeling the pinch of higher inflation and interest rates. Those struggles prompted Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. to withdraw its sales growth target on Thursday amid a drop in earnings and revenue. In the three months ended July 1, the Toronto-based retail giant said net income attributable to shareholders fell 32 per cent to $99.4 million from $145.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The 101-year-old company said revenue in its second quarter fell three per cent to $4.26 billion from $4.40 billion the previous year.聽
Quebecor Inc. (TSX:QBR.B). Telecom. Up $1.34, or 4.30 per cent, to $32.49. Quebecor Inc. said it added more than 1.8 million subscribers through its purchase of Freedom Mobile as it began to unveil new offerings for customers following its entry to the national wireless market last quarter. Chief executive Pierre Karl P茅ladeau said Thursday that in the four months since the $2.85-billion transaction closed, the Montreal-based telecommunications company has lowered prices across the country by increasing competition and delivering on commitments to Ottawa.
