Canada Goose beats estimates, pulls full-year guidance on 'macroeconomic uncertainty'

CNBC21-05-2025

Shares of Canada Goose rose around 8% on Wednesday after the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that beat analysts' estimates, though the company pulled its fiscal year 2026 outlook due to "macroeconomic uncertainty."
The luxury retailer said it will not be providing a financial outlook for the fiscal year 2026 due to the uncertainty, citing "dynamic consumer spending patterns brought on by the unpredictable global trade environment."
Nonetheless, Canada Goose said it "remains confident in the strength of the brand, the Company's solid financial position, and its ability to adapt to changing conditions."
Here's what the company reported for the fiscal fourth quarter compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by LSEG:
Canada Goose's revenue was up 7.4% from the same period last year.
Net income attributable to shareholders for the fiscal fourth quarter ending March 30 was CA$27.1 million, or 28 Canadian cents per diluted share, compared with a net income attributable to shareholders of CA$5 million, or 5 Canadian cents per diluted share in the prior year period.
As of Monday's close, shares had fallen nearly 14% year to date, hitting an all-time low last month after Barclay's analysts downgraded the stock and cut their price target.
The luxury sector as a whole has shown signs of weakness, with major luxury players like LVHM, Burberry and Gucci-owner Kering reporting a slowdown in sales in the quarter.
Canada Goose, known for its luxury parkas and puffer jackets that can retail for over $1,000, has tried to expand into the non-winter category by offering products like rain jackets and warm-weather clothing.
Its eyewear collection, introduced in the fourth quarter, was the company's first online product launch. The retailer called the launch a "key milestone" in its "product category expansion journey."

Cost of Canada's new US-made fighter jet fleet set to rise, watchdog says

OTTAWA (Reuters) -Canada's planned purchase of 88 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters will cost at least 45% more than initially estimated and the project is also threatened by a pilot shortage, the country's top watchdog reported on Tuesday. Canada, seeking to replace its antiquated fleet of CF-18 jets, announced the C$19-billion ($13.89 billion) deal in January 2023. But Auditor General Karen Hogan said the final bill would be at least C$27.7 billion and could go as high as C$33.2 billion, citing factors such as foreign-exchange fluctuations and rising facilities costs. The report is another blow to a 15-year, trouble-plagued attempt by successive administrations to replace the CF-18 jets, some of which have been flying for more than 40 years. Hogan, who reports to parliament, said the Defence Ministry approach "had weaknesses, lack(ed) proactive measures to minimize the impact of potential threats, and the project did not have robust contingency plans." A shortage of pilots that the Auditor General's Office identified in 2018 is still a significant risk, she said. The construction of special facilities for the jets is three years behind schedule. Prime Minister Mark Carney ordered a review in March of the contract, in part because he said Canada relied too much on the United States for security. Delivery of the jets is scheduled to occur between 2026 and 2032. In response, Defence Minister David McGuinty said Ottawa had put in place a plan to identify all potential risks associated with the deal. "We will continue to work closely with our partners to actively manage costs throughout the duration of this project," he said in a statement. Canada announced plans to buy the U.S.-made F-35 in 2010 but a switch in governments, rule changes for aircraft procurement, as well as challenges from the pandemic triggered major delays.

China now owns 20% of global ad market

China's booming digital economy has boosted its share of the global ad market, challenging the United States' long reign as the world's largest ad market. China's 20% share of the global ad market is now greater than the country's share of global GDP, according to WPP Media. Why it matters: Chinese ad sellers are finding enormous success selling ads to audiences globally, especially in the U.S. But U.S. tech giants are still largely banned from China. By the numbers: Nine of the world's top 25 ad sellers today are Chinese, including TikTok-parent ByteDance, Alibaba, Temu-owner PDD Holdings, Tencent, Baidu, Kuaishou, Meituan and Xiaomi, according to a new ad forecast from WPP Media. In 2025, the top five advertisers globally are all tech firms and two are Chinese: Google, Meta, ByteDance, Amazon and Alibaba. In 2011, the top five advertisers globally were mostly U.S. publishers: Google, Viacom and CBS, News Corp and Fox, Comcast and Disney. Catch up quick: The growth of China's economy and middle class over the past decade laid the foundation for the country's rapid ad expansion. But its mobile-first internet culture accelerated its dominance. Chinese tech firms have been innovating for the smartphone "to an even greater and faster degree than in other markets which went through a desktop phase first," said Kate Scott-Dawkins, the global president of business intelligence at WPP Media, who authored the report. Zoom in: Over the past several years, Chinese ad sellers have gained dominance by leaning into AI-fueled retail media innovation. This year, China's share of all retail media globally is 44.1%, driven by e-commerce giants like and Alibaba, per WPP Media. But rivals are gaining ground. By 2030, China's share of retail media ad dollars globally is expected to dip to less than 40% as the U.S., U.K. and others scale up, according to Scott-Dawkins. Zoom out: China's ascent in the global advertising hierarchy mirrors a broader shift in tech and economic influence. Chinese platforms are shaping ad innovation with AI-driven commerce and mobile-first experiences. Social and entertainment apps like TikTok have supercharged their ad businesses by expanding their live shopping and e-commerce features. Chinese platforms like TikTok and Temu are rapidly scaling in Western markets. But U.S. tech firms like Google and Meta remain largely blocked from operating in China, limiting the opportunity for reciprocal growth.
