Telus’ 9% dividend yield looks tempting — but CIBC, SmartCentres and Leon’s are the TSX income names in play

Telus’ 9% dividend yield looks tempting — but CIBC, SmartCentres and Leon’s are the TSX income names in play

TORONTO, Jan 15, 2026, 11:59 (EST) Motley Fool Canada’s Joey Frenette pointed out that investors attracted to Telus Corp’s roughly 9% dividend yield should weigh options carefully and consider Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for a more stable income stream. He noted Telus has paused dividend growth until certain internal goals are met. Meanwhile, CIBC offers about a 3.4% yield and trades at roughly 13.3 times forward earnings, a valuation based on expected profits. Frenette also highlighted that although CIBC’s shares have jumped since late 2023, the bank’s sizable Canadian mortgage portfolio remains a critical risk factor. (Market Wire News)

Intuitive Surgical stock slips again as 2026 da Vinci outlook keeps pressure on ISRG

Intuitive Surgical stock slips again as 2026 da Vinci outlook keeps pressure on ISRG

New York, January 15, 2026, 12:06 (EST) — Regular session Intuitive Surgical shares dropped once more on Thursday, continuing a selloff sparked by the company’s weaker growth forecast for procedures involving its da Vinci surgical robot. The stock slipped roughly 1% to $541.08 in midday trading, following a 2.7% drop on Wednesday. The procedure forecast is crucial because every da Vinci surgery drives repeat sales — the single-use instruments and accessories hospitals need for each operation. If that volume dips, the growth story shrinks, even if robot deliveries remain steady. Investors are weighing how quickly Intuitive can roll out its

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 10:46 EST — Regular session Shares of Grab Holdings Ltd dropped 3.5% to $4.47 Thursday morning, as investors factored in new regulatory concerns in Indonesia ahead of the upcoming earnings report.

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 12:06 (EST) — Regular session Eli Lilly and Company shares dropped 4.7% to $1,022.50 on Thursday after Reuters reported that internal documents revealed U.S. regulators delayed a decision on the drugmaker’s weight-loss pill until April 10.
