The stock traded at $84.17 late morning. The company reported $2.087 billion in net sales and raised its adjusted EPS forecast to $8.40–$8.55.

  • 3 TSX Stocks Positioned for Higher-for-Longer Interest Rates
    May 18, 2026, 11:23 PM EDT. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM), Sun Life Financial (TSX:SLF), and Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (TSX:AD.UN) stand to benefit from the Bank of Canada's higher-for-longer interest rate environment. CIBC, Canada's fifth-largest bank, saw a 24.25% gain year-to-date and posted a 43% rise in net income in Q1 fiscal 2026, supported by increased lending spreads. Sun Life Financial benefits from higher yields on fixed-income assets funded by premiums and has raised dividends for five consecutive years, boasting a 3.72% yield. Alaris Equity Partners provides non-control permanent equity capital mainly to profitable private mid-market companies, leveraging inflation-linked revenues. With the Bank of Canada's benchmark rate currently at 2.25% and risks of further hikes, these firms' business models and dividend reliability position them well amid economic uncertainties.
