Canadian Stocks (New This Week 🟢)

Total Energy Services – TOT

Theme: Australian Expansion and Compression Driving Re-Rating

Total Energy Services provides contract drilling, well servicing, rentals, and compression and process equipment across Canada, the United States, and Australia. The company delivered record Q4 and full-year 2025 results, with revenue rising sharply year-over-year driven by its compression and process services segment and continued build-out of its Australian operations. Forward sales estimates are ticking higher, and the name caught our attention as it is reaching new highs relative to its index, and analyst revisions are showing strong momentum.

Anaergia – ANRG

Theme:  Waste-to-Energy Momentum Building Across Geographies

Anaergia designs and deploys end-to-end technology systems that convert organic waste into renewable natural gas, fertilizer, and clean water, serving municipalities, industrial customers, and project developers across North America and Europe. The company is appearing on this week's list on the back of several contract wins - including a new technology supply agreement with Vanguard Renewables in the U.S. and expanding project activity across Spain and Italy. Investors are rewarding improving execution and a backlog that has grown substantially over the past year, with the company now generating positive adjusted EBITDA and heading into its Q1 2026 results with renewed institutional interest in the RNG space.

US Stocks (New This Week 🟢)

Steel Dynamics – STLD

Theme: Tariff Tailwinds and Aluminum Ramp Accelerating

STLD is one of the largest domestic steel producers and metals recyclers in North America, operating an integrated platform spanning steel manufacturing, fabrication, and a growing flat-rolled aluminum division. In its latest earnings results, management pointed to a supportive pricing environment underpinned by elevated steel import tariffs that are redirecting domestic demand to U.S. producers, and record structural steel shipments reinforcing the demand picture.

Interactive Brokers Group – IBKR

Theme: Record Revenues Reflect Structural Account Growth

IBKR is a global electronic brokerage platform serving retail and institutional clients across equities, options, futures, forex, and fixed income. The company reported record net revenues in Q1 2026, with commission revenue surpassing the $600 million threshold for the first time and client account growth accelerating on the back of elevated market volatility - all while maintaining a pretax profit margin that has now exceeded 70% for six consecutive quarters. It has been showing strength against the index as execution and capital markets take hold.
