Bombardier’s new CEO could be on the hot seat at first annual meeting
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – Bombardier’s new CEO is expected to be on the hot seat next week as he meets for the first time with shareholders who are clamouring for a turnaround plan after enduring a rough year by the struggling transportation giant.
After just six weeks on the job, Alain Bellemare is unlikely to be blamed for the company’s poor financial performance, which drove its shares down 45 per cent in the past year and 66 per cent since 2011.
But industry observers believe investors will be seeking reassurance on Thursday that the veteran aerospace executive can develop a strategy for success.
“Everyone is going to want to know where he’s taking this business,” said David Tyerman of Canaccord Genuity.
The analyst said it’s premature to get detailed answers when Bombardier only recently hired strategic advisers to review the commercial aircraft operations.
He said Bellemare has moved quickly to put his mark on the company by bringing in a new bench of top executives, including the head of commercial aircraft and chief aircraft salesman…

TORONTO – Here are five things to look for in Canadian business this week:
Earnings, earnings and more earnings: Any Canadian with money invested in the stock market has reason to keep an eye on the slew of earnings reports and annual meetings this week. Companies ranging from WestJet to Sun Life Financial, Telus and Magna International are telling shareholders how they fared in the first quarter of 2015, a period of stagnant economic growth in large part due to the global slump of oil prices. And speaking of oil prices …
The oilpatch: On deck with earnings reports are Husky Energy Inc.

LONDON – Britain’s retailers might just be rejoicing as much as Kate and Wills about the birth of a new baby princess.
Baby boutiques, clothing stores and fashion designers received a gift that will keep on giving when the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a girl, and all the marketing opportunities she provides, instead of another boring boy, retail experts say. From christening gown to wedding dress, and all the hairstyles in between, every trend the newest royal sets will be fodder for girls seeking to emulate a real life princess.
“The royals having a baby girl is most likely to result in a financial windfall for everyone— U.K. tourism and retailers alike,” said Tonya Williams Bradford, a marketing expert at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. “Unlike with the birth of their beautiful baby boy, where the attention turns to whose next on the throne, this baby girl will provide many style opportunities, as her mother and the late Lady Diana did before her…
