Constellation Software stock tumbles to new 52-week low as investors question acquisition-led growth

Toronto, Jan 14, 2026, 14:48 EST Shares of Constellation Software dropped 6.3% to C$3,008.19 by 2:45 p.m. EST Wednesday, having earlier touched a fresh 52-week low of C$3,001.11 in Toronto, according to market data. https://www.investing.com/equities/constellation-software-inc The decline puts the TSX heavyweight roughly 43% under its 52-week peak, yet it still carries a hefty valuation for a firm defined by frequent acquisitions. Constellation’s market cap stood near C$68 billion. https://stockanalysis.com/quote/tsx/CSU/ The drop is significant since Constellation ranks among Canada’s most closely watched “buy-and-build” software companies.

New York, Jan 14, 2026, 15:02 EST — Regular session Shares of Amphenol Corp (APH.N) dipped Wednesday, retreating from a three-day surge that had lifted the connector maker to a fresh 52-week peak just a day earlier.
