Consumers are Cutting Back and Companies are Feeling the Pinch

The Canadian Investor

In this episode of The Canadian Investor we start with Tourmaline’s $1.3B acquisition of Crew Energy, an all-stock deal that skyrocketed Crew Energy's shares by 76%. We discuss what impact the acquisition will have on Tourmaline’s business going forward.

Next, we turn to Starbucks’ surprising CEO shakeup, bringing in Chipotle’s Brian Niccol to lead the coffee giant. We break down Niccol’s impressive track record at Chipotle and what his leadership could mean for Starbucks’ future, especially as it faces consumer cutbacks in a tightening economy.

We also touch on Canadian Tire’s struggle with declining revenues, Home Depot’s insights on the US consumer slowdown, and Goeasy’s continued growth in the subprime market, despite rising charge-offs. Plus, we look at Air Canada’s latest earnings showing that air travel is declining in Canada.

Tickers of Stocks & ETF discussed: CR.TO, SBUX, CTC-A.TO, AC.TO, TOU.TO, HD.TO
