 Ranking Canada’s 30 Largest Stocks (Part 2)

It’s our annual Bold Predictions episode. We score our 2025 calls (BCE’s dividend cut, the CAD move, and the SHOP vs. RY market-cap battle), then lay out measurable 2026 predictions: mega-cap AI names potentially facing capex fatigue, an “anti-AI” basket of incumbents looking set for mean reversion, a possible management reset at CNI with buybacks paused to prioritize debt reduction, and Dan’s call for the TSX to beat the S&P 500 and Nasdaq again. We close with Braden’s spiciest take: despite incredible momentum, Palantir’s valuation leaves it vulnerable to a sharp drawdown in 2026.

Tickers of stocks discussed: BCE.TO, SHOP.TO, RY.TO, NVDA, GOOGL, MSFT, AMZN, META, ORCL, INTC, AIQ, CSU.TO, DSG.TO, TRI, ADBE, CRM, ACN, QXO, CNR.TO, CP.TO, UNP, CSX, WSP.TO, PLTR, DKNG, FLUT, HOOD, COIN, CME

2026 Bold Predictions: Will Canadian Stocks Beat U.S. Stocks Again?

The three amigos reunite for the 2025 year-in-review and break down the biggest market takeaways of the year. Dan explains how the TSX delivered rare outperformance versus U.S. markets, powered by financials and a major run in precious metals—while telecoms slid out of Canada’s top market-cap ranks.

The crew then dives into AI’s public-market ripple effects: the data center CapEx boom, who’s winning across chips, infrastructure, and power, and why data center REITs may not be the pure-play many investors expect. Simon recaps “Liberation Day” and the tariff-driven selloff that rattled markets, before they close on gold and silver’s breakout, banks leaning on capital markets, Bitcoin’s volatility (and the MicroStrategy trade), and a quiet three-year stretch of weakness in Canadian railways.

Tickers of Stocks discussed: BCE.TO , ZBK, AXP, CLS, EQIX, DLR, ORCL, NVDA, AVGO, ASML, TSM, SMH, WSP.TO , ADBE, CRM, NOW, CSU.TO, GOOG, MSTR, CP.TO, CNR.TO
