What Canada’s Election Result Means for Investors
In this episode, we break down what the recent Canadian federal election results mean for investors. With Mark Carney becoming Prime Minister, we discuss the implications of continued large-scale fiscal spending, including projections that federal deficits will remain above 2% of GDP. We look at how this could act as a tailwind for certain sectors and how it will likely lead to a trade deal between Canada and the US. On the earnings side, we discuss TFI International, where acquisition-driven growth masks some deeper margin pressure and macro headwinds. We also provide an update on First Quantum and the continued importance of the Cobre Panama mine for both its business and Franco-Nevada's streaming exposure. Lastly, we share thoughts on Starbucks' ongoing turnaround, recent earnings miss, and whether there's a compelling case to be made for patient investors during its transformation.
