Canadian Tire Q2 sales climb, but profit dips amid investment in growth strategy
Canadian Tire's ( sales showed resilience in the second quarter, yet expenses related to its new growth strategy hampered earnings. As at 10:41 a.m. ET, shares were trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange at $171.50, down 7.35 per cent. 'Customer confidence showed signs of recovery from March lows in the face of continued uncertainty,' said CEO Greg Hicks, on the Toronto-based retailer's earnings call Thursday morning. Canadian Tire reported second-quarter revenue of $4.2 billion, up 5.2 per cent compared to the same period last year. Same-store sales, which exclude newly opened locations, rose 5.6 per cent overall. At Canadian Tire, same-store sales climbed 6.4 per cent, driven largely by seasonal and gardening products, while Mark's increased one per cent and SportChek rose 3.9 per cent. However, the company's profit took a hit, largely due to the sale of its former Helly Hansen brand and a new, four-year growth strategy called True North, which was unveiled in March. The retail giant says its net income attributable to shareholders fell to $168.2 million or $2.04 per diluted share this quarter, from $207.7 million or $3.56 per diluted share a year ago. The Truth North strategy includes new, modernized store concepts, expansion of the company's Triangle Rewards program through partnerships with RBC and WestJet, and an enhanced go-to-market approach. The company has committed over $2 billion to the strategy and expects the benefits to start materializing through 2026. Year-to-date, the retailer has refreshed 14 Canadian Tire retail stores, and opened one new Mark's and SportChek store, respectively, Hicks says. The company enhanced a total of 21 stores in 2024, with more than 30 planned for the rest of the year. The Truth North plan also includes reducing corporate staff, an exercise that began last week, to improve agility and better compete with global competitors. 'We have been in a period of meaningful reductions designed to remove layers and drive decision-making closer to our customers,' Hicks said. The company expects restructuring and reductions to be mostly completed in its third quarter. Hicks did not disclose how many employees would be impacted.

Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across categories, including home essentials, tech gadgets and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. But deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, so we did all the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, we spotted our favorite home security camera, the Arlo 5S, for $60 off. We also found the Dyson Purifier Cool back to it's record low price.

And with Dyson's Air Multiplier technology, the purified air circulates an entire room. With the MyDyson app you can even set a schedule for a fan. Otherwise you can use the remote to control the fan. A device this powerful doesn't come cheap. It lists at a whopping $750. And now you can get $150 off bringing the price down to $599. It's still pricey but it's back to it's record low price. With the kids going back to school, a lot of us are getting their back-to-school supplies ready. That doesn't just include notebooks and pencils but also lunchboxes and water bottles. The Owala Kids tumbler with straw is a great option. The bottle is insulated and made with stainless steel so hot drinks stay hot and cold ones stay cold. It's also made with a spill-resistant lid so you don't have to worry about it making a mess. Plus, it's BPA and phthalate-free. And the straw is removable in case your child doesn't want it. This water bottle normally runs for $20. But this nice 28% discount has dropped that price down to $14, also a record low. The pink, teal, yellow and navy colors are down to this price.
