As Bloomberg shows below, the Canadian market continues to deliver standout performance. Canada remains an overachiever in the stock market this year, with the S&P/TSX Composite outperforming the S&P 500 for a second year in a row. But the performance of our equity benchmark is only part of the picture. The growth we have seen across the market at the Montréal Exchange points to a broader trend: Canada is sustaining momentum among international investors, and importantly, continues to cement its position as a premier global destination to manage risk. Throughout the last decade at the Exchange, we have seen Canada go from strength to strength with regard to trading volumes, open interest, and deepening liquidity. This fantastic piece from Geoffrey Morgan and Stephanie Hughes highlights just how strong the Canadian market has been and continues to be.

In the first half of 2026, amidst a complex macro backdrop, our issuers demonstrated remarkable resilience—delivering certainty in uncertain times and helping Canada's public markets cross a historic threshold. Here is a look at the key trends and milestones shaping our ecosystem: ▪️Market Capitalization Passes $7 Trillion: We reached a significant milestone, reflecting steady valuation growth across major sectors and underlining the deep liquidity concentrated in the Canadian public markets. ▪️$9 Billion in Mining Capital Raised: In the first six months of the year, mining issuers raised $9 billion across 750 financings. This volume of activity highlights strong, sustained investor appetite for both precious and critical transition metals, reaffirming our position as the global leader in resource capital formation. ▪️14 Graduations from TSXV to TSX: We are significantly ahead of pace this year. Having surpassed last year's total of 10 graduations in just six months, it is clear that the world's leading two-tier market system continues to be a critical financing pathway for Canada’s fastest-growing companies. ▪️A Resurgent IPO Market: After a quiet period, IPOs are officially back. We welcomed four new listings in the first half of the year, driving a surge in IPO capital raised. This includes Apotex Inc. (TSX:APTX)—the largest Life Sciences offering in our history. As a Toronto Stock Exchange-only listing that continues to perform exceptionally well, Apotex proves that the Canadian market can seamlessly execute billion-dollar IPOs. We also saw major momentum in the mining sector with the Lumina Metals (TSX:LMCU) listing, underscoring Canada’s enduring ability to attract substantial, international capital. Congratulations to all of our issuers and market participants whose vision and hard work achieved these incredible milestones.
