Traders focus on corporate Canada this week: ‘It’s a huge week for earnings’
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Focus will be firmly fixed on earnings from corporate Canada this week as investors assess how badly depressed commodity prices have impacted the bottom lines of resource companies.
“It’s a huge week for Canadian earnings,” observed Colin Cieszynski, senior markets analyst at CMC Markets Canada.
It has been a challenging time for Canadian resource companies as prices for metals and oil have been hammered in recent months.
For example, copper prices tumbled 13 per cent in January alone while oil prices have collapsed, falling 40 per cent since the end of November as OPEC countries refused to back off on production in order to support prices weakened by a global supply glut.
Energy companies reporting this week include Talisman Energy (TSX:TLM), Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) and oilfield support company Precision Drilling (TSX:PD).

It is expected to post lower earnings — 23 cents a share versus 24 cents a year ago — but Cieszynski thinks that the next quarter will tell the tale about how support companies have been hurt by plunging prices…
