Outshine the giants: these 30 early-stage AI stocks could fund your retirement.
The recent news surrounding WELL Health Technologies' transition from profit to a net loss, despite a reported increase in sales, could have implications for its future revenue and earnings trajectory. Although the stock rose 8.55% over the past week, aligning with a broader market rally, the company's five-year total shareholder return was 37.38%. This long-term performance offers a more tempered view compared to the single-year performance, where WELL Health underperformed the Canadian Healthcare industry, which returned 33%.
In light of the recent developments, analysts' revenue growth projections for WELL Health could be influenced by the integration challenges of acquisitions and the impact of deferred revenues. With anticipated earnings of CA$47.4 million by 2028, there is pressure to enhance operational efficiencies to meet these expectations. Furthermore, the price movement towards the analyst consensus price target of CA$7.86, which stands at a notable premium over the current share price of CA$3.98, reflects investor optimism. Yet, this also highlights the need for the company to achieve substantial growth in both revenue and earnings to justify such a valuation. The announced initiatives, including strategic divestments and an anticipated IPO, could play a crucial role in altering WELL Health's financial landscape in the coming years.

Air Canada Strike To Continue Despite Government Order
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Flight attendants for Air Canada will continue to strike despite a back-to-work order issued by the Canadian Government, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) said in an interview with Radio-Canada Sunday. The announcement came just a day after the Canadian government ordered the union and airline back into arbitration. The Canadian Industrial Relations Board acted on a directive from the country's Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu, ordering Air Canada "to resume airline operations and for all Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flight attendants to resume their duties" by 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, Newsweek previously reported. Air Canada said previously that they would resume operations Sunday following the cabin crew strike that grounded hundreds of flights, causing cancellations affecting tens of thousands passengers. The strike came following requests for pay increases and better working conditions, CUPE said in a statement issued Saturday. "The Liberal government has invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code to end a strike by Air Canada flight attendants fighting to end unpaid work and poverty wages," CUPE said in the statement. Newsweek has reached out to CUPE via email for more information Sunday. This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.

Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) Looks Like A Good Stock, And It's Going Ex-Dividend Soon
Explore Bath & Body Works's Fair Values from the Community and select yours Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Bath & Body Works, Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next four days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date, which is the date on which a company determines the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is an important date to be aware of as any purchase of the stock made on or after this date might mean a late settlement that doesn't show on the record date. Therefore, if you purchase Bath & Body Works' shares on or after the 22nd of August, you won't be eligible to receive the dividend, when it is paid on the 5th of September. The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.20 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$0.80 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Bath & Body Works has a trailing yield of 2.8% on the current stock price of US$28.68. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. As a result, readers should always check whether Bath & Body Works has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. Bath & Body Works has a low and conservative payout ratio of just 21% of its income after tax. That said, even highly profitable companies sometimes might not generate enough cash to pay the dividend, which is why we should always check if the dividend is covered by cash flow. It paid out 22% of its free cash flow as dividends last year, which is conservatively low. It's positive to see that Bath & Body Works's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable, and a lower payout ratio usually suggests a greater margin of safety before the dividend gets cut. View our latest analysis for Bath & Body Works Click here to see the company's payout ratio, plus analyst estimates of its future dividends. Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing? Companies with consistently growing earnings per share generally make the best dividend stocks, as they usually find it easier to grow dividends per share. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. Fortunately for readers, Bath & Body Works's earnings per share have been growing at 18% a year for the past five years. The company has managed to grow earnings at a rapid rate, while reinvesting most of the profits within the business. This will make it easier to fund future growth efforts and we think this is an attractive combination - plus the dividend can always be increased later. Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. Bath & Body Works has seen its dividend decline 5.2% per annum on average over the past 10 years, which is not great to see. It's unusual to see earnings per share increasing at the same time as dividends per share have been in decline. We'd hope it's because the company is reinvesting heavily in its business, but it could also suggest business is lumpy. Final Takeaway From a dividend perspective, should investors buy or avoid Bath & Body Works? Bath & Body Works has grown its earnings per share while simultaneously reinvesting in the business. Unfortunately it's cut the dividend at least once in the past 10 years, but the conservative payout ratio makes the current dividend look sustainable. Overall we think this is an attractive combination and worthy of further research. In light of that, while Bath & Body Works has an appealing dividend, it's worth knowing the risks involved with this stock. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 3 warning signs for Bath & Body Works (of which 1 shouldn't be ignored!) you should know about. A common investing mistake is buying the first interesting stock you see. Here you can find a full list of high-yield dividend stocks. Have feedback on this article? Concerned about the content?

Air Canada says it is restarting flights Sunday
TORONTO — Air Canada said it plans to resume flights on Sunday after the Canadian government intervened and forced the airline and its striking flight attendants back to work and into arbitration. The strike stranded more than 100,000 travelers around the world during the peak summer travel season. The country's largest airline said in a release that the first flights will resume Sunday evening but that it will take several days before its operations return to normal. It said some flights will be canceled over the next seven to 10 days until the schedule is stabilized. Less than 12 hours after workers walked off the job, Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu ordered the 10,000 flight attendants back to work, saying now is not the time to take risks with the economy and noting the unprecedented tariffs the U.S. has imposed on Canada. Hajdu referred the work stoppage to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. The airline said Sunday the Canada Industrial Relations Board has extended the term of the existing collective agreement until a new one is determined by the arbitrator. The shutdown of Canada's largest airline early Saturday was impacting about 130,000 people a day. Air Canada operates around 700 flights per day. According to numbers from aviation analytics provider Cirium, Air Canada had canceled a total of 671 flights by Saturday afternoon — following 199 on Friday. And another 96 flights scheduled for Sunday were already suspended. The bitter contract fight escalated Friday as the union turned down Air Canada's prior request to enter into government-directed arbitration, which allows a third-party mediator to decide the terms of a new contract. Flight attendants walked off the job around midnight Central Time on Saturday. Around the same time, Air Canada said it would begin locking flight attendants out of airports. Last year, the government forced the country's two major railroads into arbitration with their labor union during a work stoppage. The union for the rail workers is suing, arguing the government is removing a union's leverage in negotiations. The Business Council of Canada had urged the government to impose binding arbitration in this case, too. And the Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomed the intervention. Hajdu maintained that her Liberal government is not anti-union, saying it is clear the two sides are at an impasse. Passengers whose flights are impacted will be eligible to request a full refund on the airline's website or mobile app, according to Air Canada. The airline said it would also offer alternative travel options through other Canadian and foreign airlines when possible. Still, it warned that it could not guarantee immediate rebooking because flights on other airlines are already full 'due to the summer travel peak.' Air Canada and the Canadian Union of Public Employees have been in contract talks for about eight months, but they have yet to reach a tentative deal. Both sides have said they remain far apart on the issue of pay and the unpaid work flight attendants do when planes aren't in the air. The airline's latest offer included a 38% increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions, over four years, that it said 'would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada.' But the union pushed back, saying the proposed 8% raise in the first year didn't go far enough because of inflation.
