Tuesday's Insider Report: Director invests in 2025's top-performing Big 6 Canadian bank stock

Tuesday's Insider Report: Director invests in 2025's top-performing Big 6 Canadian bank stock

Globe and Mail10-06-2025
Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.
The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.
Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock's valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider's total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company's shares or units.
Listed below is a bank stock that has had recent buying activity in the public market reported by an insider.
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD-T)
On May 28, director Ana Arsov invested over $283,000 in shares of TD Bank. She acquired 3,000 shares at a cost per share of $94.49, increasing the holdings in this particular account to 6,483 shares.

Stocks dip after disappointing U.S. inflation data dents hopes for coming cuts to interest rates

Specialist Anthony Matesic works at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) NEW YORK — Wall Street is edging back from its record heights on Thursday after a disappointing report said inflation was worse last month at the U.S. wholesale level than economists expected. The S&P 500 slipped 0.2 per cent from its all-time high set the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 104 points, or 0.2 per cent, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was shaving 0.1 per cent off its own record. Stocks dipped after data from the U.S. government said prices at the U.S. wholesale level jumped 3.3 per cent last month from a year earlier. That was well above the 2.5 per cent rate that economists had forecast, and it could hint at higher inflation ahead for U.S. shoppers as it makes its way through the system. The discouraging data forced traders to second guess their widespread consensus that the U.S. Federal Reserve will deliver some relief next month by cutting interest rates. Lower rates can boost investment prices and the economy by making it cheaper for U.S. households and businesses to borrow to buy houses, cars or equipment, but they also risk worsening inflation. Following Thursday's hotter-than-expected inflation data, traders now see a five per cent chance that the Fed may hold rates steady at its next meeting in September, according to data from CME Group. A day earlier, they were betting on a 100 per cent certainty that the Fed would cut its main rate for the first time this year. 'This doesn't slam the door on a September rate cut,' but it may raise a bit of doubt, according to Chris Larkin, managing director, trading and investing, at E-Trade from Morgan Stanley. Thursday's disappointing data followed an encouraging update earlier in the week on prices at the consumer level. A separate report on Thursday, meanwhile, said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week. That's a good sign for workers, indicating that layoffs remain relatively low at a time when job openings have become more difficult to find. But a stronger job market could also give the Fed less reason to cut interest rates in the short term. The data helped send Treasury yields higher in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 4.26 per cent from 4.20 per cent just before the data reports' release. On Wall Street, Tapestry helped lead the market lower as the company behind the Coach and Kate Spade New York brands feels the pressure of tariffs. It said tariffs and duties could shave US$160 million off its profitability in its upcoming fiscal year, and its forecast for profit fell short of analysts' expectations even though its forecast for revenue topped expectations. Its stock fell 16.9 per cent, even though it reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Deere fell eight per cent even though the machinery maker also delivered a better profit than expected. There, too, the focus was on where profits are heading in the future. It cut the top end of its forecasted range for profit this year and said its customers 'remain cautious amid ongoing uncertainty.' In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed across Asia and Europe ahead of a key meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. ___ AP writers Teresa Cerojano and Matt Ott contributed.
