TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Couche-Tard results
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. will release its financial results for its first quarter of its 2027 financial year on Tuesday after the close of trading followed by a conference call with investors and financial analysts on Wednesday morning. The company recently made an offer for Polish convenience store operator Zabka Group.
Interest rate announcement
The Bank of Canada will make its interest rate decision on Wednesday. The central bank is widely expected by economists to keep its policy interest rate on hold at 2.25 per cent. The rate decision comes after Statistics Canada reported the annual rate of inflation rose to three per cent in July, up from 2.8 per cent in June.
Economic data
Statistics Canada will release a pair of key reports this week. It will publish its figures for international merchandise trade in July on Thursday followed by its snapshot of the job market in August on Friday when it releases its labour force survey for the month.
BRP results
BRP Inc. will release its second-quarter financial results before markets open on Thursday and plans to hold a conference call with investors and financial analysts. Tariffs have taken a toll on the maker of recreational vehicles this year as its products are largely made in Canada and Mexico but find their biggest market in the United States.
Lululemon earnings
Lululemon Athletica Inc. will publish its second-quarter results after the close of markets on Thursday. The results come just days ahead of the arrival of former Nike executive Heidi O’Neill who will assume the role of chief executive of the Vancouver-based retailer on Sept. 8.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 30, 2026.
