The last time we featured United Parcel Service (UPS) in our Daily Stock Report was on January 29, 2025—just two months ago. Since then, the stock has continued to weaken, with the closing price now at $109.95. This further validates SIA’s methodology of avoiding a contrarian approach, as names in the unfavored zone continue to show a lack of relative strength. Sellers remain in control, and there is limited interest from market participants in the stock at this time.

Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO) has seen significant underperformance, with key support recently broken at $68, which may leave the stock vulnerable to further downside. In contrast to its benchmark, the SIA S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund (EWIXIU.TO), which has posted positive returns, the stock has experienced a -13.04% decline in the quarter and a weaker relative strength position. Based on the technical readings from the point and figure chart, the outlook for ATD.TO may remain challenging, with limited positives and potential risks ahead.

SIA Charts’ relative strength rankings assist investors in identifying stocks that are outperforming or underperforming their peers or index benchmarks. To illustrate this, let’s review the shares of TFI International Inc. (TFII.TO). On September 13, 2024, the SIA Platform issued an unfavored signal for the stock at a price of $194.42. While the shares made a brief attempt to recover into the neutral zone, the move lacked sufficient momentum. Today we detail what has occurred since that time, as a reflection of the power of SIA Charts’ software solutions.

Nutrien Ltd. (NTR.TO) has moved from the unfavored red zone into the neutral zone within the SIA S&P/TSX Composite Index Report, signaling potential stabilization following a prolonged downtrend. SIA’s relative strength rankings identified its weakness early, with an unfavored signal in November 2022 at $97.93, and have since tracked its attempted recovery from a September low of $60.74. The Point and Figure (P&F) chart now indicates a potential rally, with a rising column of X’s and key support at $67.75, while a break above $77.00 resistance may suggest a shift in trend. With a SMAX score of 8 out of 10, Nutrien is exhibiting short-term strength across asset classes, warranting ongoing observation for potential entry into the favored zone.

In today’s Daily Stock Report, we highlight Loblaw Companies (L.TO), which has shown notable strength amid market uncertainty, moving into the Favored Zone of SIA’s S&P/TSX 60 Index Report in January 2024 at $129.82 and gaining 44% since. As defensive sectors attract capital, the SIA Platform identified this trend early, reinforcing its power to provide timely, actionable insights ahead of market shifts. Even during recent volatility, Loblaw’s +5.38% one-month return significantly outperformed the S&P/TSX 60’s -3.75% decline, highlighting its resilience. Technical analysis, including Candlestick and Point & Figure charts, confirms a strong uptrend, with support near $175.00 and potential resistance at $200.00. With a SMAX score of 7/10, Loblaw continues to demonstrate broad-based strength, showcasing the value of SIA’s methodology in identifying opportunities before they become widely recognized.

In today’s volatile market, the need for a defensive strategy has never been more critical. With cash now topping the SIA asset ranks and sector rotations signaling a flight to safety, identifying high-yield, high-relative strength opportunities could be essential. South Bow Corporation (SOBO.TO) may stand out as a prime example, boasting a strong 89.58% SIA Rank, a 7.91% dividend, and consistent performance in the favored zone of the SIA Combined Dividend report. As market uncertainty continues, positions like SOBO.TO may offer a solid foundation for a defensive portfolio. Please don’t forget to throw your colleagues a fish with South Bow, or even better, refer them to one of the SIA account managers and let’s teach them how to fish.

Shares of Gold Fields Ltd. (GFI) are potentially breaking out after 20 years of resistance, with the stock challenging the key level at $18.85, which has historically been a point of resistance. A successful move above this level could indicate a significant shift in the stock’s long-term trend.
