Picking out the best Canadian stocks to invest in can be a tricky affair. The top stocks in the country are spread across a variety of different industries, and each has their major players and rising stars.
Instead, Stockhouse has highlighted some of the top Canadian stocks in the current market. It’s impossible to cover every single stock, so the list below contains a mix of large cap companies that are vital to their industries and small caps that some analysts believe in.
This list also doesn’t include companies in energy, cannabis, tech, and minerals, as they each have their own dedicated section. However, there is still plenty here to help you get started on understanding the Canadian market, separated by categories. If a couple of names or industries look interesting, start doing your due diligence and check them out.
