Summary

  • 36.4% earnings growth is projected for S&P/TSX Composite Index members in the second quarter, with Bloomberg Intelligence expecting that pace to accelerate to 40% in the third.
  • Those gains would outstrip the just-finished US reporting season, where S&P 500 companies posted 28% profit growth in one of their strongest earnings periods in years.
  • The expected surge would mark the Canadian benchmark's sharpest earnings expansion since the 2021 rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • With first-half reporting about to give way to second-quarter disclosures, Canada is positioned to become the next standout in North American earnings growth.
