- Hemlo Mining And 2 Canadian Growth Stocks To Watch
The article screens three Canadian growth stocks using a filter for healthy balance sheets and strong earnings growth outlooks: Hemlo Mining, Alamos Gold and Energy Fuels. Hemlo Mining, a Toronto-based gold producer with a 100% owned Hemlo gold mine in Ontario, has a market cap of CA$1.48b, and analysts expect earnings to grow about 60.7% a year over the next 3 years, though the article says the stock trades well below estimated fair value depending on one unresolved pressure. Alamos Gold (market cap CA$17.58b) is expected to see output growth from its Canadian and Mexican mines, with Island Gold ore integrated into the Magino mill expected to bring processing cost synergies. Energy Fuels (market cap CA$2.64b) generates about $106 million from its uranium segment and is expanding rare earth processing at its White Mesa Mill. The article is general in nature and is not financial advice.
- New Found Gold Corporation (NFGC) Opens the Market
New Found Gold Corporation (TSX: NFGC) took part in the market opening at the Toronto Stock Exchange to mark its graduation to the TSX, with Chairman Paul Andre Huet, CEO Keith Boyle and President Melissa Render joining TSX Chief Commercial Officer Robert Peterman. The company describes itself as Canada's newest gold producer, with commercial production underway at its Hammerdown Gold Mine and the fully funded Phase 1 of its flagship Queensway Gold Project in Newfoundland and Labrador being advanced toward production. It also owns the Pine Cove Mill and a land package at Queensway covering more than 110 km of strike length across two prospective fault zones. Eric Sprott is named as a cornerstone shareholder.
- Flow Metals Secures Little Gold Creek Headwaters, Completing Strategic Consolidation of Sixtymile Gold District
Flow Metals (CSE: FWM) staked 44 additional quartz claims (the Mila Claims) along the northern part of its Sixtymile Gold Project in western Yukon, completing its 2026 land acquisition campaign. The contiguous land package now covers 17,635 hectares, nearly tripling the original 6,558-hectare footprint. The claims cover a magnetic lineament trending northwest in line with Little Gold Creek, which encapsulates the headwaters of a historic placer gold source, and extend the Project's northern boundary to the Top of the World Highway. The Company interprets epithermal textures and quartz veins found in its 2026 exploration as supporting a younger magmatic-hydrothermal event overprinting an older gold system. It is integrating historical geophysical data and a 3D review of airborne magnetic and CSAMT surveys to evaluate these targets.
- BTU Commences Initial Drill Program on Hubcap Project Adjacent to RPX in Wawa
BTU Metals (TSX-V: BTU) has begun drilling at its 100%-owned Hubcap property in Wawa, Ontario. The initial program of about 1,200 meters across 5-7 holes aims to test high-priority geophysical and surface targets. The property has numerous surface gold occurrences and shear zones with strong carbonate sericite alteration hosting quartz carbonate zones, and it has been only sporadically explored since the early 1900's before being consolidated by BTU. CEO Paul Wood said the company will provide program updates when available.
- Magna Terra Reports Expansion of Property and Extension of Airborne Geophysical Survey at the Prospect Or's Dream Epithermal Gold Project, New Brunswick
Magna Terra Minerals (TSXV: MTT) has expanded its Prospect Or's Dream project in New Brunswick to 23,887 hectares along more than 30 km of the Moose Lake Fault Zone, near the Bathurst Mining Camp. The project is centred on a 2025 discovery of low-sulphidation epithermal gold-bearing quartz veins along at least a 7.2 km strike of the Donner Trend. Seven claims totalling 5,087 hectares were staked along or near the Moose Lake Fault without option payments or royalties to vendors. The airborne geophysical survey was extended from 1,221 to 1,302 line km to cover the new claims, and prospecting rock grab samples returned gold grades of up to 1.97 g/t. The Province of New Brunswick provided partial funding through its NBJMAP program.
- Abcourt Mines Produces 740 Ounces of Gold in September
Abcourt Mines reported its September mining and mill operations: 7,253 tonnes of ore were crushed and 6,739 tonnes milled, at an average feed grade of 3.42 g/t gold. The mill produced 740 oz of gold at a 94.1% recovery rate, with 545 oz poured during the month and 741 oz remaining in the circuit. The company blended higher-grade underground ore (5,582 tonnes at 3.62 g/t) with reclaimed low-grade stockpile material (1,157 tonnes at 2.41 g/t). CEO Pascal Hamelin said gold output doubled from August, and a second mill crew in training will allow more ore to be processed starting in November.

- Vanguard's Growth ETF Usually Beats the Market After a Lagging Year. I'd Own It, but Not for a 2027 Rebound.
The Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (VUG) hit a record of $92.64 on Oct. 6 but has since fallen about 6% to roughly $87, while the S&P 500 is down less than 3% over the same period. The fund is up about 7% in 2026 versus about 11% for the index, and if the gap holds through December, it would be the first year since 2022 that it trails the S&P 500 on price alone. The fund holds a large share of its assets in its top 10 stocks, many of them tech companies, and several, including Tesla (down about 17%), are lagging this year. Rising interest rates also weigh on growth stocks, since their value depends on profits expected far in the future. The author notes the fund has beaten the S&P 500 in 16 of 21 years from 2005 to 2025, but says he would not rely on 2027 to erase this year's gap.
- Joby Aviation Stock Just Hit a 52-Week Low. History Says This Happens Next
Joby Aviation (JOBY) has fallen from about $13 at the start of 2026 to below $5, hovering near its 52-week low of about $4.40. Its first-ever coast-to-coast autonomous flight and its plan to acquire Resonant Sciences have done little to lift the shares this year, and the decline of similar stock Archer Aviation suggests waning enthusiasm for eVTOL companies. The article notes that past downturns were followed by sharp rebounds, such as in 2025, when a $250 million Toyota investment and other news pushed the stock above $10 and up to around $20 before valuation concerns pulled it back. The author argues investors now want to see actual bookings rather than announcements, and that a milestone such as FAA type certification could push the stock back into double digits. He says the stock may be worth a look for aggressive investors who can tolerate volatility.
- Stock Market Today, Oct. 26: AI Optimism Lifts Nasdaq as Tech Stocks Rebound
The S&P 500 gained 0.70% to 7,677, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.82% to 26,169, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.28% to 52,362 as AI optimism returned and oil prices fell. Gold rose 0.46% to $4,026.30 and the 10-Year Treasury yield rose 0.04% to 5%, with investors favoring Real Estate and Technology while Communication Services faced selling pressure. Anthropic filed its S-1 to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT," and its strong revenue growth figures eased fears that the AI boom was losing steam, helping revive tech stocks. Tesla rose over 5% after Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight and raised its price target from $370 to $450, while Meta fell about 2% after disclosing plans to raise up to $95 billion for AI infrastructure. Investors are now looking ahead to Microsoft's earnings and the Federal Reserve's rate decision this week.
- Perpetua Resources Awarded Up to $40 Million in U.S. Army Funding to Advance Domestic Tungsten Supply for American Defense
Perpetua Resources (Nasdaq: PPTA; TSX: PPTA) received a new 36-month, $40 million award through the U.S. Army's Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium to assess producing tungsten concentrate at its Stibnite project in Idaho. The cost-share program will fund drilling to define a potential tungsten resource, metallurgical testing, and permitting and engineering for an exploration decline. Perpetua will match the Army's $40 million contribution, and the initial 18-month phase is expected to cost about $18 million, shared equally. The company notes there has been no commercial tungsten mining in the U.S. since 2015 and that recent Chinese export controls add to supply risk. With this award, total U.S. Government awards to Perpetua for critical minerals reach $126 million since 2022.
- Anthropic's IPO puts power in the hands of founders, giving everyday shareholders little voice
Anthropic’s IPO prospectus gives its seven co-founders control through “Founder LLC,” which will hold 50.1% of voting power and determine the outcome of all stockholder votes for the foreseeable future. The filing says this may limit investor influence and make unsolicited mergers or proxy contests less likely. The Long-Term Benefit Trust, set up in 2023, can elect and remove a board majority through a special class of Class T common stock. Anthropic is a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules and plans to list under the ticker “ANT,” and its filing includes more than 90 pages of risk factors. Bessemer Venture Partners, which backed the company at a $14 billion valuation, said investors are often comfortable with founder-led governance when leadership is strong.
- Boost Run stock surges on AI infrastructure deployment
Boost Run (NASDAQ: BRUN) shares rose 6.7% in after-hours trading on Monday after the company announced AI infrastructure deployments and more than $600 million in non-dilutive project financing closed year to date. The company delivered the first project phase to a leading AI research and product company under agreements signed in May 2026, deploying NVIDIA B300 GPUs with related network storage and CPU node services. In September it signed a five-year, $525.6 million AI cloud services agreement with a provider of enterprise AI models and solutions. The company says it has a fully funded runway through the fourth quarter of 2026, expects deployed colocation capacity to reach about 40 MW by year-end, and structures its project financing to be repaid before contracts end.
