The Future of Retail

The family recently took a ‘trip’ through an Indigo (revamped Chapters) store for a Paw Patrol event and to my family’s eye rolling, it got my head spinning on various investment implications regarding names such as Indigo (IDG), Spin Master (TOY), the current state of retail and the future of retail.

We have an updated report on Great Canadian Gaming Inc (GC) posted on site.  

Company News

Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS)

BNS recently reported a year-over-year decline in earnings and missed on estimates but raised its dividend.  The international division was the only segment to post earnings growth. It struggled in its capital markets but calls the quarter 'a bottom point' for the segment. Expenses were also higher than expected. BNS is retreating a bit from international operations, with a recent move to reduce Thai exposure. This may be the right move while it refocuses on Canada, but we continue to see solid international potential. BNS is cheap now on valuation and with the dividend bump the yield remains attractive.
