BEFORE THE BELL Canada’s main stock index futures rose as oil prices jumped on hopes for a recovery in demand. U.S. stock index futures advanced, supported by easing of coronavirus-driven restrictions by many countries. Most European indexes gained on a jump in healthcare stocks. China shares ended higher as trading resumed after a week-long holiday. The U.S. dollar rose against a basket of major currencies, while gold prices eased. STOCKS TO WATCH Results • Barrick Gold Corp (ABX). The miner reported a nearly 55% rise in quarterly adjusted profit, benefiting from a surge in gold prices fueled by concerns over global economic growth. The miner trimmed its gold forecast for the year, as the industry braces for a heavy hit from the nationwide lockdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Larger rival Newmont warned on Tuesday of a financial impact in the second quarter. The company now expects gold production to range from 4.6 million ounces to 5 million ounces due to the recent development at Porgera gold mine, after the Papua New Guinea government declined a lease extension due to environmental damage and social unrest. Barrick's adjusted profit rose to $285 million, or 16 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $184 million, or 11 cents per share, a year earlier. • Shopify Inc (SHOP). The e-commerce company posted a surprise adjusted profit for the first quarter and beat revenue estimates as more users visited its platform after lockdowns led merchants to move their businesses online. Gross merchandise volume (GMV), a metric used in the e-commerce sector to measure transaction volumes, surged 46% to $17.4 billion in the quarter, beating estimates of $16.58 billion. Shopify posted a net loss of $31.4 million, or 27 cents per share, for the quarter ended March 31, compared with $24.2 million, or 22 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding items, it earned 19 cents per share, while analysts expected it post a loss of 18 cents. • Suncor Energy Inc (SU). The company deepened its spending cuts, suspended its share repurchase program and cut its quarterly dividend by 55%, hit by a historic plunge in oil prices caused by a feud between Saudi Arabia and Russia and the COVID-19 pandemic. Suncor cut its 2020 capital budget to a range of C$3.6 billion to C$4.0 billion, a C$400 million reduction at mid-point compared to the previous guidance and about 33% compared to the original plan. The company also suspended share repurchases and reduced its quarterly dividend to C$0.21 per common share from C$0.465 per common share. The company posted a loss of C$3.53 billion, or C$2.31 per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, compared with a profit of C$1.47 billion, or C$0.93 per share, a year earlier. Excluding one-off items, the company posted a loss of 20 Canadian cents per share, missing analysts' estimates of a loss of 17 Canadian cents. • Sun Life Financial Inc (SLF). Life insurers face a challenging year as rising unemployment from the coronavirus pandemic reduces group benefit and retirement plan enrollment, and market declines and credit deterioration weigh on asset-management earnings, Sun Life Financial's CEO said on Tuesday. "COVID-19 is an enormous health and economic and humanitarian shock," Chief Executive Dean Connor said in an interview after Canada's second-biggest life insurer reported first-quarter underlying profit that beat analyst estimates and rose from a year ago. Sun Life reported underlying net income of C$770 million, or C$1.31 per share, in the three months that ended on March 31, up from C$1.20 a year ago. Analysts had expected C$1.12. Reported net income fell to C$391 million, or 67 Canadian cents per share, from C$623 million, or C$1.04, a year ago, due to market declines driven by the COVID-19 outbreak, Connor said. In Other News • Imperial Oil Ltd (IMO). The company on Tuesday said 50 birds died after landing on tailings ponds near its Kearl Lake oilsands site in Alberta. Since April 26, there have been several days when more than 100 birds - mostly grebes and shorebirds - have landed on tailings ponds, a spokesman at the integrated energy company told Reuters. About 60 oiled birds have been collected, of which 50 have died, the spokesman said. Partially oiled birds are being rehabilitated, he added. ANALYSIS Expect a bumpy recovery? Exchanges may provide an upside As market volatility has eased after the mayhem of March, investors betting on a rocky economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis are buying shares of exchanges that are poised to profit if more turmoil ensues. ANALYSTS' RECOMMENDATION • Altus Group Ltd (Ontario) (AIF). TD Securities cuts price target to C$47 from C$50, to account for the potential impact of COVID- 19. • Finning International Inc (FTT). Canaccord Genuity raises price target to C$24 from C$21, saying the company did a very good job navigating a volatile first quarter. • George Weston Ltd (WN). CIBC raises price target to C$124 from C$122, seeing more progress in the company’s bakery cash flows. • Winpak Ltd (WPK).
