This Canadian Utility Stock Just Boosted Its Payout and Now Yields Nearly 5%
If you're looking for a top dividend stock to add to your portfolio, Capital Power (TSX:CPX) is one you won't want to overlook. This power-generation company has a stable business, and it believes that it's largely insulated from U.S. tariffs. Management is confident in the company's ability to perform at a high level, which is evident in Capital Power's board recently approving a 6% dividend increase. The new quarterly payout of $0.691 per share quates to an annualized dividend of $2.764. And with the stock trading at around $56, that means investors who buy today can collect a yield of around 4.9%. It's the 12 th consecutive year that the company has raised its payout, as it builds up its reputation of being a dependable dividend growth stock. The company's adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter was $322 million, which was nearly identical from the $323 million it reported a year ago. Capital Power recently closed two acquisition, one for Hummel Station (in Pennsylvania) and for Rolling Hills (in Ohio), which will expand its operations in the U.S. and lead to more growth for the business in the future. Investing in energy companies can be a good way for dividend investors to benefit from long-term stability while collecting above-average payouts. Since companies like Capital Power benefit from a great deal of recurring revenue, they can make for fairly good long-term investments. Over the past five years, Capital Power's stock has doubled in value, and that's without factoring in its dividend over that stretch. Trading at 18 times its estimated future earnings, this can be a good dividend stock to buy and hold right now.

Time to buy a shiny new car? Used vehicle prices are rising
Canadians shopping for a brand new car may be surprised that prices have dropped compared with a year ago, while those looking for used vehicles could pay thousands of dollars more than last summer, according to a new report. That said, prices are expected to jump for both vehicle types in the second half of the year, says the AutoTrader report released last week. Used vehicle prices jumped 3.6 per cent year-over-year in June, hovering at an average of $37,664, the report shows. That's compared with a 12-per-cent dip in the used car market throughout 2024. On the other hand, new vehicle prices dipped about 3.5 per cent year-over-year in June, to $64,445. Amazon wants to sell you cars online. Here's what it could mean for shoppers and auto sellers in Canada 'It's not what we expected to see,' said Baris Akyurek, vice-president of insights and intelligence at AutoTrader, about both used and new cars. 'Usually, [used car] prices start on the higher side, and come down throughout the year,' he added, while new car prices usually go up slightly, commensurate with inflation. But that trend reversed in March as a result of fears of American tariff igniting Canadian demand and exacerbating inventory shortages in used vehicles, though demand is catching up in the new car market as well. The inventory of used cars has slumped 16.8 per cent year-over-year because of surging demand and a persisting supply gap created during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 2020 and 2023, approximately 1.5 million fewer new cars were sold in Canada owing to production disruptions, Mr. Akyurek said. The decline in new car sales meant that fewer vehicles trickled down into the used car supply, and that is now showing up as a lingering inventory shortage. In contrast, new car inventory was high at the start of 2025, with about 87 days of supply available, significantly above the industry norm of 60, Mr. Akyurek said. This surplus was the result of production finally catching up post-COVID, combined with slightly softer demand earlier in the winter. 'Then obviously Trump comes to power, and these tariff conversations come about,' he said. 'Everybody was talking about doom and gloom scenarios, like 'Oh, within a week, there won't be any cars produced … that scared consumers off.' In a February AutoTrader survey, 47 per cent of respondents said tariffs would impact their purchases, and 31 per cent said they would switch from new to used vehicles. With shoppers fearing higher prices for any cars, many rushed toward the used market, where prices were generally cheaper but inventory was already constrained. 'New vehicles prices are decreasing as older inventory is being sold first in expectation that newer inventory will be impacted by tariffs,' said Daniel Ross, senior manager of industry insights and residual value strategy at Canadian Black Book. Buying a used car is harder than it used to be and it's likely to get worse At the same time, demand for both types of vehicles has been steadily eroding the higher inventory cushion in the new vehicle market. New vehicle inventory has now fallen 12 per cent year-over-year in June, according to AutoTrader. Regionally, Ontario stands out as the only province where used car prices declined slightly in June. 'That might be related to the inventory composition, might be related to where the demand is and the cars that are available in Ontario,' Mr. Akyurek said. Used vehicle prices in Canada have already risen for four consecutive months and now sit above 2024 levels, setting the stage for continued price increases through the second half of 2025 if demand continues. AutoTrader data also showed that prices for both new and used electric vehicles have been falling across the board, with demand slumping as governments cut incentives for zero-emission vehicles. ZEV sales dipped 45 per cent in March and close to 30 per cent in April. For car shoppers, Mr. Ross said it's a better time to buy a new vehicle, as financing incentives are attractive and certain brands are eager to reduce inventory. Average new car interest rates now hover around 5.4 per cent, down from 6.6 per cent in June, 2024, Mr. Akyurek said. However, it's not a great time for a used car purchase, Mr. Ross said: 'Prices have already gone up, and we could see them start to fall in the last quarter of the year.'

UBC robot competition demonstrates student skill, perseverance
From penguins to pandas, the rescue mission was on at the University of British Columbia's Vancouver campus Thursday. (CTV News) From penguins to pandas, the rescue mission was on at the University of British Columbia's Vancouver campus Thursday. Physics-engineering students competed in the annual UBC robot competition, tasked with saving as many stuffed animals as possible from an imaginary fire in a two-minute window. The robots had to follow a taped path along an obstacle course, and could rescue animals in a variety of ways to score points. 'Going through this course, I just realized how fun it is to apply all the concepts and how it's just amazing how much you can do and how fast you can learn,' one of the competitors told CTV News between rounds of the contest. The robots are autonomous, and some have been programmed using artificial intelligence. Building the robots is an exercise in patience and problem solving, with some students spending as much as 12 hours a day working on their robots in the buildup to the event. 'You have all these different parts, right?' another student said. 'And you work really hard to make them work each individually and you're like, 'OK, so they all work well, right? This launching mechanism, it works well. The claw, it works well. The driving, it works well.' And you're like, 'OK, surely we're done right?' You put them together and you just get a cacophony of issues.' Some teams opted against artificial intelligence, using technology that is more established, including sensors similar to those used in self-driving cars. Many of the students are expected to go on to careers ranging from quantum computing to spacecraft design.
