Traders look to another heavy slate of earnings news following solid gain
– canadianbusiness.com
Investors hope markets can build on the respectable gains chalked up last week after getting reassurance about the Chinese and U.S. economies.
Traders will again focus on corporate earnings as big Canadian companies start to release quarterly reports.
North American markets racked up solid gains last week, with the TSX ahead 1.7 per cent while the Dow industrials ran ahead 2.4 per cent, partly because Chinese economic growth in the first quarter came in better than expected. Also, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s latest regional survey showed that the American economy picked up over the past two months as bitter winter weather subsided.
It was a positive change from the previous week when U.S. indexes sustained sharp losses as traders rotated out of expensive biotechs and technology stocks.
The major Canadian reports this week will come from Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) and Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP).
Teck’s share price has suffered over the last 52 weeks, coming down from a high of $31…

U.S. investors warming up to Air Canada’s promise, says New York analyst
– canadianbusiness.com
MONTREAL – Air Canada’s financial promise is piquing the interest of U.S. institutional investors seeking a way to profit from the turnaround of another North American carrier, according to a New York analyst.
Helane Becker of Cowen and Company is optimistic that Air Canada’s drive to cut costs by 15 per cent — which she estimates will net nearly $2 billion in the next few years — will improve earnings and help reduce its share discount compared with U.S. network carriers.
“Even if everything else stays exactly flat, revenues don’t grow, you’re talking about an awful lot of money that can fall to the bottom line and a stock that can really take off and I think there are a lot of big investors that are looking for new ideas that can invest in Toronto and Canada,” she said in an interview after initiating coverage last week.
The long-time WestJet (TSX:WJA) analyst expects Air Canada (TSX:AC.B) will follow the strategy of U.S. carriers by cutting costs, paying down debt and returning capital to shareholders through a dividend or by buying back its shares, starting in late 2015 or early 2016…
