Balancing Life and Financial goals with Andrew Hallam

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down a rough quarter for Lululemon as falling comparable sales, heavier markdowns and weakening international growth raise serious questions about whether the brand can turn things around.

They also look at BRP’s latest results and how tariffs are creating major uncertainty for an otherwise well-run business, before digging into the latest Canada–U.S. trade tensions surrounding Bombardier and Canadian banks.

Then, they turn to Couche-Tard, where fuel profits remain strong but merchandise growth continues to struggle as consumers increasingly trade down and look for value. Finally, they check in on GameStop’s ongoing pivot toward collectibles and whether the company is quietly building a more sustainable business despite continued declines in its traditional operations.

Tickers of stocks discussed:
Lululemon (LULU)
BRP (DOO.TO)
Bombardier (BBD.B.TO)
Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO)
GameStop (GME)

Lululemon’s Brand Crisis Deepens & Trump Targets Canadian Companies

The AI infrastructure boom is running into a growing obstacle: communities and regulators are pushing back against massive data center projects.

Simon and Dan look at why opposition to new data centers is accelerating, particularly around electricity demand, utility costs, water usage and the strain these projects can put on existing infrastructure. They also discuss what delays could mean for the AI buildout, which parts of the ecosystem could benefit from constrained computing capacity, and why Alberta is emerging as an important battleground for new projects.

Then, Simon follows up on last week’s Royalty Pharma deep dive by looking at the different ways investors can gain exposure to pharmaceuticals and biotech. From diversified ETFs to established drugmakers, higher-risk biotech companies and the royalty model, they break down the trade-offs between diversification, upside potential and clinical-development risk.

They also discuss why seemingly “safe” pharmaceutical giants can still carry significant concentration risk, how AI could reshape drug development, and why healthcare may be one of the more overlooked ways to invest in the AI theme.

Stocks/ETFs discussed: RPRX, MRNA, MRK, JNJ, ABBV, LLY, VRTX, REGN, AMGN, GILD, ISRG, SHOP, HUT, SEI, TT, IXJ, ZHU.TO, XPH, IHE, IBB, XBI.

 Data Center Revolt and the Best Ways to Invest in Pharma & Biotech

Bond yields are climbing, energy prices are surging, and central banks are being forced to navigate an increasingly complicated inflation picture.

Simon and Dan break down what the bond market may be signaling and why higher long-term yields matter even if the Bank of Canada keeps its policy rate unchanged. They discuss the potential impact on Canadian housing, rental construction and mortgage financing, along with why inflation-adjusted home prices can continue falling even when nominal prices stabilize.

They also look at the sharp increase in diesel prices and refinery margins, what higher transportation costs could eventually mean for consumers, and whether households have enough room left to absorb another round of price increases.

The conversation then turns to monetary policy following the latest Bank of Canada decision and Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks, before digging into one of the biggest risks surrounding the AI boom: financing.

With hundreds of billions being poured into AI infrastructure, rising borrowing costs and increasingly interconnected financing arrangements could become a major vulnerability. Simon and Dan discuss what happens if AI companies ultimately generate less revenue than expected, whether hyperscalers could be left with excess capacity, and why enormous technological breakthroughs can still coincide with massive capital destruction for investors.

Stocks/ETFs discussed: NVDA, MSFT, GOOGL, ORCL, TSLA, WMT, TGT, HD, LOW, DLTR, L.TO, DOL.TO.
