Now time for some of today's trending tickers. We are watching Air Canada, Soho House, and Dayforce. First up, Air Canada, suspending its full year guidance as a flight attendant strike enters its third day. Roughly 10,000 workers walked off the job Saturday after contract negotiations reached an impasse. Compensation remains a big sticking point in the talks. The Canadian government ordered workers back on the job Sunday, but the union says it will defy that order. The fallout from the suspended operations is expected to be felt across the globe. Air Canada operates nearly 200 daily flights to the US, and its cargo unit operates across 50 countries. Next up, Soho House, going private in a deal worth roughly $2.7 billion, including debt. MCR Hotels is leading the group of investors taking the private members club private. Actor Ashton Kutcher, he's also involved in the deal. He leads a group of investors bringing new capital, and who'll also sit on Soho House's board once the deal is completed. Shareholders will get $9 a share. That's about a 17% premium to the stock's closing price on Friday. Soho House has been public since 2021, but it's struggled significantly since its debut. The company has faced activist pressure from Third Point's Dan Loeb about a sale. He had called for more transparency in the process and pushed the board to consider outside bidders back in January. Apollo Global Management, which is the parent company of Yahoo Finance, is financing that deal. And finally, sticking with deals to go private, Thoma Bravo reportedly looking to acquire HR management software company Dayforce. That's according to a report from Bloomberg. The buyout would take Dayforce private and might be announced in the coming weeks. Sources caution that while discussions are advanced, there is a chance they could fall through or another bidder may emerge per Bloomberg. Dayforce shares are down more than 60% from their all-time high. After a pandemic era surge, HR and payroll management companies like Dayforce have struggled to maintain momentum post-COVID. The shares surging 25% this morning. And you can scan the QR code below to track the best and worst performing stocks with Yahoo Finance's trending tickers page.

Covalon Technologies Ltd. Achieves DTC Eligibility in the United States
Improving Access for U.S. Investors and Supporting Share Price Appreciation for Canadian MedTech Innovator MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, August 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV; OTCQX: CVALF), an advanced medical technologies company, is pleased to announce that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). DTC eligibility simplifies the trading process for Covalon shares on the U.S. OTCQX Market under the symbol CVALF by eliminating manual delays and higher transaction costs often associated with cross-border securities. Most United States-based brokerage firms do not allow their customers to trade shares unless they are DTC eligible. This accomplishment will enable Covalon to generate increased U.S. interest, which will enhance liquidity and improve Covalon's positioning in the United States, where companies with Covalon's financial performance trade at much higher market values. "This is a major milestone for Covalon as we expand our visibility and access to a broader investor base," said Brent Ashton, CEO of Covalon. "Receiving DTC eligibility significantly streamlines the investment process for U.S. shareholders and demonstrates the commitment to growing our presence in U.S. capital markets, where we have received very positive feedback from investors." In addition, in the Company's May 15, 2025 press release, Covalon announced the promotion of Kim Crooks appointment to Covalon's Board of Directors, and the awarding of 150,000 common share stock options, both of which were subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Options were granted pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan on May 30, 2025, and are subject to the terms of the applicable grant agreement, the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange, and shareholder approval at the Company's next Annual General Meeting, scheduled in early 2026. The Options were granted at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, effective May 30, 2025. The options vest 34% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 33% on the second anniversary, and the remaining 33% on the third anniversary.
