About this episode

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down another busy week of market news and earnings.

We start with Moderna, whose stock more than doubled after the company announced positive late-stage trial results for its personalized mRNA cancer therapy developed with Merck. We discuss why the news matters for Moderna, why Merck also benefited, and why biotech investing can be so volatile.

We then look at Canadian Tire’s latest quarter, including the strength at SportChek and Mark’s, the stabilization in its financial services segment, and the upcoming Triangle Rewards partnership with Tim Hortons.

From there, we discuss Home Depot and Lowe’s, what their results say about the housing and renovation market, and why elevated interest rates continue to weigh on big-ticket home improvement spending.

We also revisit Constellation Software after its latest earnings, including organic growth concerns, record capital deployment, and why the company says AI has not materially disrupted its business so far.

Finally, we cover Air Canada’s quarter, rising airline costs, CoreWeave’s explosive AI infrastructure growth and balance sheet risk, and Klarna’s latest results after a sharp post-earnings selloff.

Tickers discussed: MRNA, MRK, CTC.A.TO, HD, LOW, CSU.TO, AC.TO, CRWV, KLAR, AAPL

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
