Canadian Deals Heat Up, Berkshire Starts Buying, and Gold Stocks Surge

  In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down another busy week of earnings, acquisitions, and market news. We start with Jamieson Wellness, which received a takeover offer from Japan’s Kirin Holdings shortly after we highlighted it as one of our stocks to watch. We discuss the deal premium, why smaller Canadian companies continue to attract acquirers, and what this says about valuations in the Canadian small-cap market. We then look at Air Canada selling a 25% stake in Aeroplan to a consortium led by Blackstone and La Caisse, and why the airline is using the deal to strengthen its balance sheet while keeping control of one of its most valuable assets. From there, we discuss the H&R REIT and GO Residential transaction, Wheaton Precious Metals’ strong quarter, GoEasy’s continued challenges in subprime lending, and Canadian Natural Resources’ huge free cash flow quarter as oil prices remain elevated. We also cover Berkshire Hathaway’s latest results, including its cash pile, stock purchases, buybacks, and new Alphabet position, before wrapping up with Restaurant Brands International and what Burger King, Tim Hortons, and Popeyes are saying about the consumer. Tickers discussed: JWEL.TO, AC.TO, HR.UN.TO, GO.U.TO, WPM.TO, FNV.TO, GSY.TO, CNQ.TO, BRK.B, GOOGL, GOOG, QSR.TO, QSR   Subscribe to Our New Youtube Channel!
