Talking point: Some analysts expect Canadian markets to slow in the next year or so, impacted by slowing economic growth in the U.S. The success of Canadian stocks aren’t all tied to weed, even with cannabis companies making up six out of the composite’s top 10 performers. Utility stocks are having a comeback, outpacing the Toronto Stock Exchange. Companies like Emera, Canadian Utilities, AltaGas and TransCanada have grown more than 16 per cent each since January, compared to the S&P/TSX’s 12 per cent in the same time frame.
