TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Bank earnings
Canada’s big banks will report their first-quarter results this week, starting with Scotiabank on Tuesday. BMO Financial Group and National Bank of Canada are set to report their results on Wednesday. CIBC, TD Bank and Royal Bank of Canada are scheduled for Thursday.
Loblaw results
Grocery and drugstore retailer Loblaw Cos. Ltd. reports its fourth-quarter results on Wednesday. The parent company of Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart recently announced a partnership with Google to allow more shopping via artificial intelligence.
Engineering earnings
Several of Canada’s big engineering companies will report their latest financial results this week. Stantec Inc. and WSP Global Inc. are set to report after the close of markets on Wednesday afternoon. AtkinsRéalis Group Inc., the company formerly known as SNC-Lavalin, is expected to report its results before markets open on Friday.
LeBlanc in Toronto
Dominic LeBlanc, the federal minister in charge of Canada-U.S. trade, will be at the Canadian Club Toronto for a luncheon event on Thursday. The event comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against President Donald Trump’s use of a national security statute to impose tariffs.
GDP
Statistics Canada will release its figures for gross domestic product for December and the fourth quarter of 2025 as a whole on Friday. The agency’s flash estimate for December released last month pointed to an increase of 0.1 per cent for the final month of 2025, a result that would suggest a contraction of 0.5 per cent on an annualized basis in the final quarter of last year.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 22, 2026.
