TSX Today – Stocks to Monitor on May 2,


tsx today

The Canadian market started May 2023 on a weak note, as falling oil prices amid growing concerns about a recession weighed on energy stocks. After rallying by 130 points during the intraday trading, the TSX Composite Index gave up these gains later to end Monday’s volatile session with a 21-point drop at 20,615.

Despite losses in the shares of energy and real estate companies, handsome gains in other notable market sectors, such as consumer and industrials, limited the index’s losses.

Top TSX Composite movers and active stocks

Denison MinesBallard Power Systems, and Secure Energy Services were the worst-performing TSX stocks for the day, as they plunged by at least 3.6% each.

In contrast, Cargojet (TSX: CJT) rose nearly 4% yesterday to $105.83 per share after it announced its March quarter results. In the first quarter of 2023, the revenue of the Mississauga-based air cargo services provider witnessed a minor year-over-year decline of 0.7% to $231.9 million, as the demand for its services softened.

With this, Cargojet’s adjusted quarterly EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) slid 9.6% from a year ago to $75 million. As economic challenges continue to mount, the company’s management plans to focus on realigning its cost structure with the current demand levels. On a year-to-date basis, CJT stock is now down 9%.

Mullen GroupFirst Quantum Minerals, and Brookfield Business Partners were also among the top performers on the Toronto Stock Exchange in the last session, as they inched up by at least 3% each.

Based on their daily trade volume, Manulife FinancialTD BankSuncor Energy, and Royal Bank of Canada were the most active Canadian stocks on May 1.

TSX today

Most commodities were largely bearish early Tuesday morning, which could pressure the resource-heavy TSX index at the open today. While no domestic economic releases are due, Canadian investors may want to keep an eye on the latest job openings data from the United States this morning. Also, investors may want to remain cautious ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy event scheduled for tomorrow.

As the first-quarter earnings season gathers steam, several TSX-listed companies like EQBAritziaFranco-NevadaEquinox GoldFirst Capital REITDream Industrial REITThomson ReutersRestaurant BrandsColliers InternationalOceanaGold, and International Petroleum are expected to announce their results on May 2.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

Image
Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...

The market pullback is giving Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) investors a chance to buy top Canadian dividend stocks at undervalued prices for a self-directed portfolio focused on long-term total returns. TC Energy TC Energy (TSX:TRP)(NYSE:TRP) has raised its dividend in each of the past 22 years, and investors should see the distribution continue to grow at a steady pace. The energy infrastructure giant operates natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, and power-generation facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The $28 billion capital program is largely focused on expanding the natural gas pipeline business, which already boasts 93,000 km of infrastructure.

In Canada, TC Energy is building the Coastal GasLink pi...
