2 Rallying TSX Stocks You'll Wish You Bought Sooner
Written by Jitendra Parashar at The Motley Fool Canada
We've all been there – you check a stock you were eyeing, and boom, it's already up 40% or 50% since you first thought about buying it. That sting of 'I should've bought it' hits hard. The good news is, most growth stories aren't over with just one rally. In fact, some TSX stocks that have surged recently still show strong momentum, supported by their improving fundamentals.
In this article, let's look at two Canadian stocks that have been rallying, and why it still might not be too late to buy them for the long term.
G Mining Ventures (TSX:GMIN) has seen a massive move lately but still has long-term potential written all over it. This gold miner has been up more than 117% in the last year and trades at $18.72 per share with a market cap of about $4.2 billion. G Mining is developing precious metals projects in Brazil and Guyana, anchored by its producing Tocantinzinho mine and the advancing Oko West project.
In the March quarter, G Mining produced over 35,500 ounces of gold at an impressive all-in sustaining cost of US$960 per ounce. Despite some seasonal rain impacting its mining activity, the company still delivered strong free cash flow of US$36 million and net profit of US$24.4 million. Notably, its adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) hit US$68.6 million last quarter, showing how well its ramp-up is going.
With its production expected to increase through the second half of 2025 as higher-grade ore becomes available, G Mining seems well on track to meet its annual guidance of up to 200,000 ounces. In addition, the company recently released a positive feasibility study for its Oko West project, suggesting an after-tax value of US$2.2 billion and a mine life of over 12 years.
For long-term investors seeking exposure to a fast-growing gold producer with exploration upside and strong project economics, G Mining Ventures could be a compelling stock to consider.
Another TSX stock that's been gaining solid momentum in 2025 is Aritzia (TSX:ATZ). This company's growth story is hard to ignore right now. The Vancouver-based apparel retailer is known for its portfolio of exclusive fashion brands and strong e-commerce platform.
Aritzia stock has surged nearly 79% over the past year and currently trades at $67.44 per share with a market cap of $7.7 billion.
In its most recent quarter (ended in February 2025), Aritzia delivered 31.3% YoY (year-over-year) sales growth with the help of strong U.S. demand and e-commerce sales. For the quarter, its adjusted earnings also shot up 156% YoY, and its adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 18% from 10.6%.
Notably, the company opened 12 new boutiques in its fiscal year 2025 (ended in February), including a flagship on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, and it's not slowing down. With its net revenue expected to grow up to 19% in fiscal 2026, Aritzia is leaning into its growth drivers, even as U.S. tariffs add some complexity. For investors looking beyond the short-term market noise, this fashion stock has all the right ingredients for solid upside.

Graduating, but not getting hired: P.E.I. grads face uncertain job market
When Ishani Sabitharashi walked across the convocation stage at UPEI to receive her degree in environmental studies in May, she was all smiles in her school regalia. She posed for photos, proudly holding the degree she had worked four years to earn. But reality soon set in. Sabitharashi has spent months, even before graduation, applying for full-time jobs both within and outside her field. So far, no luck. To pay the bills, she's currently working part-time in sales at a jewelry store. "That kind of makes you feel sad and disappointed, because… you're not getting what you want while you are stuck in another place [that] has nothing to do with your degree," Sabitharashi told CBC News. Sabitharashi isn't alone. Kylah Hennessey, a career counsellor at UPEI, says she's heard from a number of final-year students and new graduates struggling to find full-time work, whether in their field or even in casual employment. "Unemployment rate for youth is high right now," Hennessey said. Recent data from Statistics Canada proves that. Apart from the pandemic, Canadian graduates between the ages of 15 and 24 are facing the highest unemployment rate this country has seen since the mid-1990s. Hennessey says part of the issue is economic uncertainty, which leads to many employers not hiring as many people as before. Canada's youngest workers are grappling with a perfect storm of economic conditions: an inflation crisis that came on the heels of a pandemic, and now, a country teetering closer to recession as the U.S. trade war wreaks uncertainty on the economy. But there can be other reasons why students are struggling in the job market, Hennessey said, including a lack of opportunities in their fields of study. Sabitharashi has been looking for jobs related to environmental health and safety on the Island. But she said most openings, even entry-level positions, require previous experience, which is something difficult for recent graduates to show. She has expanded her search across the Maritimes but faces the same problem. "When you graduate, you do have some sort of hope and expectations, like, 'Maybe after a few months, I'm gonna land into a job that is full-time, related to my field,'" she said. "That is not the reality anymore." Hennessey said this is why part of her role involves helping students align their job market outlook with reality. "It's about… managing those expectations and recognizing, you know, jobs out of graduation aren't jobs you're retiring from, and that there [are] still lots of opportunities there," Hennessey said. She added that when helping students map out their career, she encourages them not to limit options to their field of study, but to view initial jobs as stepping stones to employment. Hennessey said some students also lack key skills, especially the ability to tailor their resumes and cover letters to specific positions. She often sees students who already have work experience, but find it difficult to recognize how their existing skills can transfer to other fields. That's why she spends a lot of time helping them identify and articulate those transferable ones. "It's about just working with them one on one, and trying to pull out those experiences that they've had to make it more relevant to the work that they're applying for," she said. "Most people aren't aware that they should be spending more time tailoring their resume." Another common weak point for students is networking, especially when it comes to connecting with potential employers. "It is a struggle for those students who spent a lot of time in COVID and didn't have those same opportunities of networking, even with their peers, and building those relationships with their peers, with their teachers," Hennessey said. Most people aren't aware that they should be spending more time tailoring their resume. — Kylah Hennessey, UPEI career counsellor She recommends students look for everyday opportunities to practise communication. "It might exist when you go to a teller in a grocery store and just asking them how they're doing, how's your day. Or with a peer in the classroom, turning to them and maybe asking them a question… engaging maybe with friends, parents." After graduating, Sabitharashi applied for a work permit that allows international students to stay and work in Canada for up to three years. She's still waiting to receive it, but remains optimistic. "You cannot just sit here and complain, like, 'Oh, I'm not getting jobs.' I'm continuously trying. I'm applying for different jobs — not just only my field, but different fields," she said. "And I would say, any student who graduated or [is] looking for a job right now, they should never give up. Just keep on trying."

War, Inflation and Now Drought Are Hitting Global Food Supplies
War, tariffs and inflation are not the only things driving up the price of food. Widespread drought is also looming over what people around the world eat. In Brazil, parched coffee farms have affected latte prices everywhere. In the Midwestern United States, years of poor rains have led ranchers to cull cattle herds and have raised beef prices to their highest levels ever. In China, one of the nation's key wheat-producing regions, the Yellow River Basin, is withering under unusually hot, dry conditions. Germany had its driest spring since 1931, though rains in recent weeks have allayed concerns about its wheat and barley crops. Ukraine and Russia, rivals on the battlefield, are also facing the threat of drought for their wheat crops. Both countries are breadbaskets for millions of people far and wide. Morocco, for instance, now in its sixth year of drought, has relied increasingly on wheat imports from Russia. Conflicts in Gaza and Yemen, in addition to Ukraine, have also disrupted the food supply chain, including by increasing the costs of shipping. Now there's new conflict between Israel and Iran. Droughts are part of the natural weather cycle but are exacerbated in many parts of the world by the burning of fossil fuels, which is warming the world and exacerbating extreme weather. Droughts can be particularly risky as the production of important foods becomes increasingly concentrated. For example, much of the world's coffee comes from Brazil, cacao from Ivory Coast and Ghana in West Africa, and corn from Brazil, China and the American Midwest. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
