The Bank of Canada kept rates unchanged, but the bigger story may be just how stuck policymakers are becoming. We discuss weakening growth, stubborn pockets of inflation, higher energy prices, and what the latest CPI data says about the Canadian economy.

We also break down Alimentation Couche-Tard’s latest earnings and why the market was underwhelmed despite decent headline growth. Same-store sales, consumer pressure, and slowing organic momentum remain key issues.

We then turn to Adobe and The Trade Desk, looking at Adobe’s AI strategy and leadership transition, and why new concerns around Trade Desk are putting added pressure on investor confidence.

Tickers discussed: ATD, ADBE, TTD

 The BoC Is Stuck and These Companies Are Feeling It

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down Constellation Software’s latest earnings and conference call, including what management had to say about AI, software pricing, acquisition strategy, and why the company may be looking more closely at public market opportunities.

We then shift to the growing stress in private credit. We discuss new data showing record default rates in 2025, redemption pressure hitting major private credit funds, and what recent moves by BlackRock and Blackstone may be signaling for the broader market. We also talk about the incentives behind private credit funds, liquidity risks, and why many investors may not fully understand what they own.

Finally, we wrap up with Canadian Natural Resources’ latest results, highlighting strong production growth, free cash flow, dividend growth, and why elevated oil prices continue to support the Canadian energy sector.

Tickers mentioned: CSU.TO, SABR, BLK, BX, CNQ.TO

Constellation Software’s AI Outlook and More Trouble in Private Credit

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the stunning collapse in Goeasy after the company shocked investors with a major financial update ahead of earnings. What was expected to be a gradual deterioration turned into a full-blown blow-up, with sharply higher charge-offs, a suspended dividend and buyback program, withdrawn guidance, potential restatements of past financials, and debt covenant issues that could become existential for the business.

We walk through the key details from the release, why the market reacted so violently, and why the company’s comments around LendCare, delinquent loans, and prior reporting practices raise even more questions. We also revisit the red flags we had been discussing for months, including ballooning interest receivables, aggressive loan book growth, and the growing disconnect between goeasy’s reported performance and the broader credit environment.

To finish on a more positive note, we also discuss strong results from Franco-Nevada and what higher gold prices could mean for the royalty giant going forward.

Tickers discussed: GSY.TO, FNV.TO
