Companies in the news:
Transcontinental Inc. (TSX:TCL.A). Down 52 cents or 3.9 per cent to $12.80. Transcontinental Inc. says a gradual recovery in printing volumes has allowed it to recall more than one third of the employees laid off because of the impact of COVID-19. The Montreal-based printer and packaging company says about 600 of the 1,600 temporarily laid-off employees have returned in recent weeks. While its printing business has been affected by lower demand for flyers and other products, Transcontinental's packaging division has been helped by food retailers seeing increased demand during the pandemic.
Dollarama Inc. (TSX:DOL). Up $1.18 or 2.5 per cent to $48.02. Dollarama Inc. experienced a drop in profit during its most recent quarter, but still topped the expectations of analysts who believed the pandemic would weigh more on the company's bottom line. The Montreal-based retailer earned nearly $86.1 million or 28 cents per share for the quarter ended May 3 compared with a profit of $103.5 million or 33 cents per share in the same quarter a year earlier. Same-store sales, a key retail metric, grew 0.7 per cent for the quarter, excluding stores temporarily closed due to the pandemic.
