In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we cover a packed week of market-moving news. We start with reports that Bain Capital may be taking Canada Goose private, with bids valuing the luxury parka maker well above its current market cap. Next, we break down Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s latest speech at Jackson Hole, where cooling growth, sticky inflation, and tariff-driven price shocks shaped the market’s outlook on rate cuts. We also look at Scotiabank’s surprising earnings beat, why their international arm is still a drag, and whether their promise of “pruning” is finally over. On the macro front, we discuss Trump’s efforts to reshape the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government’s growing trend of taking equity stakes in strategic companies like Intel and MP Materials. Finally, we wrap up with another strong quarter from Dollarama, which continues to post impressive growth while expanding globally.
