CN Rail lowers earnings expectations, cuts outlook amid trade volatility
The Montreal-based company says revenue fell about one per cent, to $4.27 billion compared with $4.33 billion a year earlier.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter came in at $1.87, up from $1.75 a year earlier.
CN lowered its 2025 forecast for adjusted diluted earnings per share growth, saying it now expects growth in the mid to high single-digit range.
A previous estimate from CN expected adjusted diluted earnings per share to increase between 10 and 15 per cent for 2025.
CN says it is removing its 2024-26 financial outlook given continued uncertainty surrounding trade and tariff uncertainty.

P.E.I. premier says he is '10 out of 10' confident bridge, ferry tolls will be reduced
Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz says after speaking with the prime minister during this week's Council of the Federation meetings that he is confident fares to cross the Confederation Bridge and use the Northumberland ferry service will be reduced soon. During the federal election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to cut the bridge tolls by more than half and reduce the cost of ferry rates between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia by at least 50 per cent. So far, that hasn't happened. But after three days of meetings with his provincial counterparts and Carney wrapped up Wednesday, Lantz was asked how confident he is that the reductions would happen, on a scale one to 10. "I'm a 10 out of 10…. We're going to make this happen," he told CBC News: Compass host Louise Martin. "It's my number one priority for the remainder of the summer to get this over the line." As for a timeline, Lantz said he couldn't specify one because there is a lot of administrative and legal work that has to be done first. 'Bumpy road with the United States' Also on the premiers' agenda at the meetings in Huntsville, Ont., was the prospect of Canada reaching a trade deal with the United States by next month. Earlier this month, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened even higher tariffs on Canadian goods that flow south of the border — the new 35 per cent rate is expected to apply to goods that are currently tariffed at 25 per cent beginning Aug. 1. Carney has insisted that the Canadian government will only sign a new trade agreement if there is one worth signing. Lantz said from the conversations at the meeting, it appears the federal government will stand firm and continue negotiations until there is a fair solution. While he believes that will likely happen before the Aug. 1 deadline, Lantz said he recognizes that dealing with Trump can be challenging. "Whether we come to an agreement on Aug. 1 or not, I think the reality is we'll continue to negotiate or have some sort of bumpy road with the United States in terms of our trading relationship," Lantz said. The premier said the relationship between the two countries has changed fundamentally, and that change may outlast Trump's administration. Lantz said he has faith that Carney is working hard and has a strategy to deal with Trump. "It's a very difficult, complex subject, but they're working hard and I hope that we have some sort of resolution on Aug. 1 to give us some certainty going forward," he said. Lantz takes over as chair of the Council of the Federation on Aug. 1. The next summer meeting of the Canadian premiers will take place in P.E.I. from July 21-23, 2026.

Tesla disappoints on earnings but wins on one major front
Tesla disappoints on earnings but wins on one major front originally appeared on TheStreet. Tesla didn't mention Bitcoin once in its second-quarter 2025 financial filing, even as investors and analysts scanned the company's balance sheet for any sign of movement in its crypto treasury. The silence isn't new. Tesla hasn't added or sold any Bitcoin for eight straight quarters, and the company's digital asset holdings remain unchanged at $184 million, according to the 10-Q form filed with the SEC on July 23. That's the same value it reported in the first quarter of 2024, with no impairment losses or gains noted this time either. Tesla had initially bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin in early 2021. Since then, it's sold off the majority, with the last major sale happening in Q2 2022 when it offloaded roughly 75% of its BTC stash. Tesla holds 9,720 BTC as of its last disclosure. At today's Bitcoin price of $118,000, that stash is worth approximately $1.15 declines Beyond crypto, Tesla's earnings disappointed on several fronts. The company reported revenue of $22.5 billion — missing analyst estimates of $22.74 billion — and adjusted earnings per share of $0.40, below the expected $0.43. Automotive revenue fell 16% year-over-year, the second straight quarterly decline. In early July, Tesla had already reported a 14% drop in Q2 vehicle deliveries to 384,000 units. The stock is down roughly 18% this year, marking the worst performance among big tech names. By comparison, the Nasdaq Composite is up about 9% in 2025. Meanwhile, Tesla has delayed its affordable 'Model 2' EV, leaving the field open for rivals. Chinese EV makers are aggressively pushing cheaper, tech-laden vehicles that are eating into Tesla's global market share. Still holding the bag Despite the financial and political turbulence, Tesla appears to be holding firm on its crypto position—for now. But with mounting pressure from declining revenues and reputational hits, investors are watching closely for any future changes to the company's digital asset strategy. As of now, though, the Bitcoin line in Tesla's earnings reports remains quiet. No buys. No sells. Just HODLing.
