Two Retail Stocks Crushing It and One That’s Falling Behind

In this episode, we dive into Canada's latest CPI data, with inflation now sitting below the Bank of Canada’s target, and what it means for policy rates heading into 2025. We analyze the Bank of Canada’s final 2024 announcement, including a 50-basis point rate cut and its implications for the economy, housing, and inflation.

We also cover earnings updates from major Canadian and global retailers like Costco, Canadian Tire, and Lululemon, highlighting consumer spending trends, deflation in discretionary goods, and how businesses are adapting to a challenging environment. Plus, we look at BRP’s strategy amidst economic headwinds and why long-term investors might still find value in this cyclical company.

Tickers of stock discussed: DOO.TO, LULU, COST, CTC-A.TO
