Aecon Group reports $7.6M loss in Q2 as backlog hits record

TORONTO — Aecon Group Inc. reported a loss attributable to shareholders of $7.6 million in its latest quarter, compared with a loss of $123.9 million during the second quarter last year. The results amounted to a loss of 12 cents per diluted share in the quarter ended June 30, compared with a loss of $1.99 the year prior. The Toronto-based construction firm says revenue reached $1.3 billion, up 52 per cent on a year-over-year basis. Aecon Group also reported a backlog of $10.7 billion, the largest in the company's history. Chief executive Jean-Louis Servranckx says revenue for 2025 is expected to come in higher than last year, due to a number of factors, including the record backlog. The company says it's also continuing to monitor the potential impact from tariffs on its operations. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 31, 2025.

Amazon shares fall on weak cloud growth while rivals Google, Microsoft thrive: ‘Very disappointing'

Amazon on Thursday forecast third-quarter sales above market estimates, but failed to live up to lofty expectations for its Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit after rivals handily beat expectations. Shares fell by more than 3% in after-hours trading after finishing regular trading up 1.7% to $234.11. Both Google-parent Alphabet and Microsoft posted big cloud computing revenue gains this month. AWS profit margins also contracted. Amazon said they were 32.9% in the second quarter, down from 39.5% in this year's first quarter and 35.5% a year ago. The second-quarter margin results were at their lowest level since the final quarter of 2023. 3 AWS, the cloud unit, reported a 17.5% increase in revenue to $30.9 billion. By comparison, sales for Microsoft's Azure rose 39% and Google Cloud gained 32%. REUTERS AWS, the cloud unit, reported a 17.5% increase in revenue to $30.9 billion, edging past expectations of $30.77 billion. By comparison, sales for Microsoft's Azure rose 39% and Google Cloud gained 32%. After competitors' strong showing, 'AWS is lingering at 17% growth,' said Gil Luria, a D.A. Davidson analyst. 'That is very disappointing, even to the point where if Microsoft's Azure continues to grow at these rates, it may overtake AWS as the largest cloud provider by the end of next year.' Amazon expects total net sales to be between $174.0 billion and $179.5 billion in the third quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $173.08 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. The range for operating income in the current quarter was also light. Amazon forecast between $15.5 billion and $20.5 billion, compared with expectations of $19.45 billion. Both Microsoft and Alphabet cited massive demand for their cloud computing services to boost their already huge capital spending, but also noted they still faced capacity constraints that limited their ability to meet demand. AWS represents a small part of Amazon's total revenue, but it is a key driver of profits, typically accounting for about 60% of Amazon's overall operating income. 3 While Amazon has poured billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, analysts have said the lack of a strong AI model from AWS is causing concerns that the company could be trailing rivals in AI development.

REUTERS While Amazon has poured billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, analysts have said the lack of a strong AI model from AWS is causing concerns that the company could be trailing rivals in AI development. The AWS results are 'alarming,' said Dave Wagner, portfolio manager for Aptus Capital Advisers, which holds Amazon shares. 'Amazon is an operating leverage story and they had to be able to grow, at least relative to costs. And they haven't done it.' The Seattle-based retailer posted online store sales of $61.5 billion, an 11% gain. Advertising sales, a fast-growing segment for Amazon, were up 23% to $15.7 billion. Investors have been watching Amazon's e-commerce unit for any signs that tariff-related uncertainty has dashed consumer confidence. US data showed consumer spending rose moderately in June. 3 Amazon posted online store sales of $61.5 billion, an 11% gain. REUTERS President Trump's tariffs have dampened the US retail industry, leaving major retailers and consumer goods companies scrambling to protect their margins or resort to price increases, all while ensuring consumer demand remains intact. Trump has said the levies will bring manufacturing power and jobs back to the US. Analysts had said Amazon's focus on low prices, quick delivery and the sheer number of product categories helped cement its position as the No. 1 e-commerce retailer for US consumers, giving it an edge over rivals. Amazon has said it was pushing suppliers to pull forward inventories to ensure supply and keep prices as low as possible. Still, prices for goods made in China and sold on have been rising faster than overall inflation, Reuters reported last month. The company has been trimming jobs in its corporate offices, including at its AWS, books, devices and podcasting units. Its efforts were showing results: headcount fell by 14,000 workers from this year's first quarter, bringing the total to 1.46 million.

Canada Goose shares fall 10% after Q1 loss

Canada Goose ( shares fell over eight per cent Thursday morning after the company's first-quarter earnings call reported a net loss of $125.5 million, widening from a $74 million loss in the same period last year. As at 11:41 a.m. ET, Canada Goose was trading at $16.20 per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange, down 8.36 per cent. On an adjusted basis, the Toronto-based luxury parka maker posted a loss of $1.29 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted loss of 80 cents per share in the previous year's first quarter. The company attributed the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses to a one-time $149.5 million financial award to a former supplier, along with costs tied to expanding its global retail network, increased spending on its Spring-Summer 2025 collections, campaigns for designer Haider Ackermann's Snow Goose capsule collection, and investments in product design and merchandising. Canada Goose generated $107.8 million in revenue during the quarter, an increase from $88.1 million in the same period last year. Sales through its direct-to-consumer channels climbed nearly 23 per cent to $78.1 million, while wholesale revenue also grew, rising almost 12 per cent to $17.9 million. 'Our conversations with investors suggest the market isn't sure how much momentum the Canada Goose brand has with consumers. The market is not likely to know until November when the main outerwear season begins,' said UBS analyst Jay Sole, in a note. The market also believes luxury demand has slowed, and Canada Goose's first-quarter revenue beat isn't likely to change minds, he adds, as the quarter is too small to signify a trend change. Canada Goose continued to hold back its financial outlook this quarter, citing uncertainty around tariffs as the U.S. and Canada race to establish a trade deal ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump's August 1 deadline. 'I don't want to pretend that I know what's going to happen in three weeks because I don't think any of us do,' CEO Dani Reiss told Yahoo Finance Canada in an interview. In the absence of the financial outlook, Reiss says investors should focus on the company's revenue increase of 22 per cent year-over-year, and 23 per cent growth in its direct-to-consumer channel. 'We're an outlier and our brand is resonating on a pop culture level with consumers in a way that others perhaps aren't. And, we're really leaning into that momentum as we head into our busier seasons,' he said. According to chief financial officer Neil Bowden, the company has remained relatively unscathed by tariffs so far. Roughly 75 per cent of products are manufactured in Canada, and comply with USMCA requirements, making them currently exempt from tariffs, he says. For European products, the company pays modestly higher tariffs, 'but they will continue to have a minimal financial impact,' Bowden says. The U.S. this month struck a deal with the European Union to impose a 15 per cent import tariff on goods — half of what Trump previously threatened. Sign in to access your portfolio
