Amber Kanwar's Weekly Setup: Big tests are coming for the markets
My husband got taken down by a nasty summer bug but has reintegrated into the family. He stayed in the guest room to avoid infecting me and the kids. He passed his time watching TV and having meals delivered. I'm glad he is back in the fold, but I would be lying if I didn't admit there is a small part of me that thought about licking one of his spoons to get a few days alone in a quiet room. This is not the week to call in sick with huge catalysts on deck. Here are the five things to watch: Magnificent week: With the S&P 500 sitting atop a record high, the resilience of the Magnificent 7 (also at a record) will be the next test for the markets. Four of the seven companies report this week, including Meta Platforms Inc. META-Q, Microsoft Corp. MSFT-Q, Apple Inc. AAPL-Q and Inc. AMZN-Q They represent a combined US$14-trillion in value. The big question for all of them will be how much each company is spending on AI. Although for Apple, it will be more like, 'Have you heard of AI?' Apple is the second-worst-performing Mag7 after Tesla Inc. TSLA-Q, down about 14 per cent so far in 2025. The reason Apple is in the dog house is because it lacks a clear AI strategy, according to Needham senior analyst Laura Martin. She said 'calls to replace Tim Cook as Apple CEO are getting louder every quarter that Apple doesn't lay out a comprehensive GenAI strategy.' After Alphabet Inc. GOOGL-Q surprised investors with a US$85-billion spending plan, there is a good chance the others follow suit. Is it any wonder that Nvidia Corp. NVDA-Q is back at a record high and the best-performing Magnificent 7 in 2025? Decisions, decisions: If mega-cap earnings weren't enough, the Bank of Canada and U.S. Federal Reserve are delivering interest-rate announcements on Wednesday. The BoC is expected to keep rates on hold at 2.75 per cent for a third time in a row. Core inflation, which is hanging around 3 per cent, and the oddly robust jobs data from earlier this month make it an easy bet that the BoC will hold. It is also an easy bet that the Federal Reserve won't cut this month, although U.S. President Donald Trump may think otherwise after meeting with Fed Chair Jerome Powell this week on a tour of the central bank's renovations. Mr. Trump said Mr. Powell congratulated him on a strong economy, which he took to mean that rate cuts are coming. Watch for dissenters on the decision; those are the ones auditioning for Mr. Powell's job when his term expires next year. Hold your breath: In the past three months, UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH-N has slashed its profit forecast, announced that its CEO is leaving, then suspended its profit forecast altogether and endured a 50-per-cent drop in the value of its shares. And just last week, it confirmed that it is the subject of a Department of Justice investigation into its Medicare practices. Talk about a season to forget. The embattled health insurer is set to report quarterly results Tuesday morning as its stock languishes at the lowest level in five years. However, that now means it sports a low-teens multiple. Before you let that lure you in, like yours truly, value investor Michael McCloskey, founder and president of GreensKeeper Asset Management, said on my podcast this week that this has the markings of a value trap. 'When you see the suggestion that maybe they're playing games with Medicare, it's the cockroach theory,' he said. 'I might be totally wrong, but when I see that, I tend to stay away.' Flying close to the sun: Bombardier Inc. BBD-B-T reports this week and talk about a comeback story. The stock is up 1,400 per cent over the past five years compared with just 100 per cent for the TSX over that time. It went from a universally unloved stock with high debt levels to a Bay Street favourite with a new investment-grade debt rating. Its transformation into a business-jet company has paid off big time. But some analysts say the setup from here gets harder. TD Cowen analyst Tim James downgraded the stock last week on the runup and says it has a bad habit of falling on earnings days regardless of the results. '[The] recent share-price strength may heighten Q2 hurdle for driving further short-term upside,' said Mr. James in a note downgrading the stock from buy to hold. Hot commodity: MEG Energy Corp. MEG-T reports results Thursday after the close. The energy producer is subject to a hostile bid from Strathcona but reports last week suggest Cenovus is preparing a rival bid. The company will likely be tight lipped about what it can say, but analysts and investors may pry to see where the companies are in the process and how many other bidders have kicked the tires.

After Coldplay KissCam scandal, Astronomer hires Gwyneth Paltrow as ‘very temporary' spokesperson
Astronomer – the company whose CEO resigned after being caught on a KissCam at a Coldplay rock concert embracing a woman who was not his wife – is trying to move on from the drama with someone who knows the band pretty well. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who was married to Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin for 13 years, announced Friday on X that she has been hired by Astronomer as a spokesperson. Astronomer, a tech company based in New York, found itself in an uncomfortable spotlight when two of its executives were caught on camera in an intimate embrace at a Coldplay concert – a moment that was then flashed on a giant screen in the stadium. CEO Andy Byron and human resource executive Kristin Cabot were caught by surprise when Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd during a concert earlier this month. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' Martin joked when the couple appeared on screen and quickly tried to hide their faces. The viral Coldplay kiss-cam video shows digital sleuthing can go too far After viral Coldplay kiss-cam video, advice for workers on when private relationships become your employer's concern In a short video, the 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Ironman' star said she had been hired as a 'very temporary' spokesperson for Astronomer. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,' Paltrow said, smiling and deftly avoiding mention of the KissCam fuss. 'We've been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' she said. 'We will now be returning to what we do best – delivering game-changing results for our customers.' When footage from the KissCam first spread online, it wasn't immediately clear who the couple were. Soon after the company identified the pair, and Byron resigned followed by Cabot. The video clip resulted in a steady stream of memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair's shocked faces filling social media feeds. Online streams of Coldplay's songs jumped 20% in the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.

Is Rivian Stock a Buy Now?
Key Points Rivian manages its key components in-house, including a proprietary technology platform for vehicle controls and autonomous driving features. It leveraged its technology to form a joint venture with Volkswagen, accelerating the development of next-generation electric vehicles. Rivian is scheduled to begin construction of a new EV manufacturing facility in Georgia in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than Rivian Automotive › Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) has captured some investor attention in its quest to establish its place in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Following a meteoric rise after its initial public offering in late 2021, Rivian's stock plummeted in the two years that followed. The stock is still down 92% from its peak. However, recent developments, including its announcement of a joint venture with Volkswagen (OTC: VWAP.Y) and consecutive quarters of positive gross profits, show that Rivian may be turning a corner. Still, challenges remain as the company prepares to expand its manufacturing capacity and scale up production over the next several years. If you're thinking of investing in Rivian, here's what you need to know. Rivian's in-house focus and technology platform Rivian manages nearly all aspects of its business, from engineering to manufacturing, in-house. The company has developed a technology platform that encompasses a comprehensive software stack, covering everything from vehicle controls to the user interface, and enabling over-the-air updates and feature enhancements. Additionally, it features an in-house built autonomy platform with driver-assist technology that can be utilized for autonomous driving. The company leveraged this technology to establish a joint venture with the Volkswagen Group that focuses on software, electronic control units (ECUs), and related network architecture design and development. Volkswagen plans to utilize Rivian's zonal ECU architecture and software stack across its multiple brands. In November, Rivian received $1.3 billion for intellectual property licensed to Volkswagen. Volkswagen has also committed to making additional equity investments of up to approximately $2.5 billion in multiple tranches. Amazon is a major customer and investor One key aspect of Rivian's business since 2019 has been its partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) to develop the Rivian Commercial Van and Electric Delivery Van variants. Today, there are more than 20,000 of these vehicles on the road. In November 2023, their agreement was amended to adjust specific exclusivity rights for Amazon, allowing Rivian to sell its commercial vans to other customers. The Amazon contract has been a major portion of Rivian's business. In 2024, Rivian generated over $1.04 billion in revenue from Amazon -- 21% of its total revenue. In 2025's first quarter, revenue from Amazon totaled $99 million, a significant decrease from the $338 million reported in the same quarter last year. Amazon also holds a significant stake in Rivian, representing 13.3% of its voting power. This partnership with one of the world's largest retailers has been instrumental in helping Rivian establish its foothold in the competitive automotive industry. Still, it will be crucial for the EV maker to develop its other partnerships and revenue streams. What's next for Rivian? Rivian has a history of incurring significant net losses, including a net loss of $4.8 billion last year and a $541 million loss in 2025's first quarter. However, the company did achieve a gross profit of $206 million in Q1, its highest gross profit to date. It was also the company's second consecutive quarter of gross profitability. Management expects to achieve a positive gross profit for 2025 as it continues to focus on cost efficiencies. RIVN Revenue (Quarterly) data by YCharts. The EV maker will continue to ramp up production and add to its facilities. It plans to build a second manufacturing facility near Social Circle, Georgia, to meet demand from the United States and international markets. The plant is expected to have an annual capacity of 400,000 vehicles. It will be built in two phases, each contributing 200,000 units of annual capacity. Construction of that Georgia facility is expected to begin in 2026, with production on the first manufacturing line projected to start in 2028. Vehicles produced there will be on the company's midsize platform, which includes its R2 and R3 models. Development of this facility is supported by a loan arrangement with the U.S. Department of Energy for up to approximately $6.6 billion. Is Rivian right for you? Rivian is expanding its manufacturing footprint, strategically developing its software and services ecosystem, and forming strategic partnerships with key customers and partners. The company is making solid progress in revenue and gross profit, and I would like to see it continue to improve its cost efficiency and profitability. Investors buying today could be getting on the ground floor. That said, analysts project that the EV maker will continue to lose money through 2028, as it will take time and capital to build out its facilities and scale up production. For these reasons, Rivian is a high-risk, high-potential-reward stock that may take years to pay off, making it best suited for aggressive investors with long-term buy-and-hold timelines.
