The Montreal-based company lost US$4.9 billion, tied mostly to large writedowns in the CSeries and the abandoned Learjet 85 business jet programs, more than offsetting news of a US$1-billion lifeline from the Quebec government to help complete development of the CSeries.

Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G). Miner. Down $1.96, or 10.17 per cent, to $17.32 on 6.8 million shares. Goldcorp Inc. moved further into the red in the third quarter as the company dealt with falling prices for precious metals. The Vancouver-based gold miner, posted a loss of US$192 million or 23 cents per share in the third quarter, compared to a loss of US$44 million or five cents per share in the same period last year.

Companies reporting major news:

Suncor Energy Inc. (TSX:SU). Oil and gas. Up $1.28, or 3.41 per cent, to $38.81 on 4.6 million shares. Suncor Energy threw cold water on speculation that its hostile takeover offer for Canadian Oil Sands will be sweetened. CEO Steve Williams says the $4.3-billion bid should be good enough for shareholders given the gloomy outlook for oil prices, operational woes at the Syncrude oilsands mine, the absence of a competing offer and Suncor’s better resilience to commodity swings than its target.
