TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:

Metro earnings

Grocery and drugstore retailer Metro Inc. is expected to release its first-quarter results and hold its annual meeting of shareholders on Tuesday. The results come as Canadian shoppers continue to face rising prices for groceries that are outpacing the overall inflation rate.

Rate decision

The Bank of Canada will make an interest rate announcement and release its latest monetary policy report on Wednesday. The central bank’s key policy rate is set at 2.25 per cent. Economists widely expect the Bank of Canada to leave the rate unchanged.

Rogers results

Rogers Communications Inc. will report its fourth-quarter results on Thursday. The results for the final three months of 2025 will include the World Series that saw the Rogers-owned Toronto Blue Jays take the Los Angeles Dodgers to Game 7 before losing the final game in extra innings.

Railway earnings

Canada’s two big railways will report their quarterly results this week. Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. will release its fourth-quarter results on Wednesday followed by Canadian National Railway Co. when it reports its fourth-quarter results on Friday. 

GDP 

Statistics Canada will release Friday its figures for gross domestic product by industry for November and its preliminary estimate for December. The agency’s advance estimate for November published last month pointed to a gain of 0.1 per cent for the month helped by strength in educational services, construction and transportation and warehousing, partially offset by decreases in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction and manufacturing.
