Earnings Growth of the Canadian Stock Market
After a sharp decline during the COVID-19 market crash, corporate earnings in Canada rebounded swiftly, driven by strong commodity prices, and fiscal stimulus. This rapid recovery reflected the resilience of key sectors such as energy, financials, and materials.
However, by late 2023, earnings began to decline, impacted by higher interest rates, slowing economic growth, and weaker consumer demand. Rising borrowing costs and global uncertainties weighed on corporate profitability.
The downtrend continued into 2024, with earnings contracting even further. Persistent inflationary pressures, tighter monetary policy, and weaker global demand contributed to earnings deterioration, particularly in rate-sensitive sectors like real estate.
As of early 2025, the Canadian stock market is anticipated to experience a rebound in earnings growth following the declines observed in late 2023 and throughout 2024. Analysts project an average earnings growth of approximately 10% in 2025, with expectations of continued growth into 2026. The Bank of Canada’s policies are expected to remain accommodative and key sectors such as energy and materials are projected to play key roles in driving earnings growth.
However, Canada’s relatively slower economic momentum compared especially to the U.S. and uncertainties surrounding tariffs and exports can cause negative surprises.
