Companies reporting major news:
Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (TSX:CM). Up seven cents, or 0.09 per cent, at $78.91 on 1.05 million shares. Chief executive Gerald McCaughey received a bit of a rough ride at the chartered bank’s annual meeting Thursday, and it had little to do with 2012’s modest performance. The head of one of Canada’s biggest financial institutions was the subject of several complaints from the floor about his compensation and that of the bank’s other four named executive officers at the sparsely attended gathering.
Domtar Corp. (TSX:UFS). Paper producer. Down $6.67, or 8.74 per cent, at $69.61 on 75,729 shares. The company says its paper business turned in a disappointing performance in the first quarter due to inefficiency caused by changes at one of its U.S. mills, resulting in adjusted earnings that came in well below analyst estimates.
PotashCorp. of Saskatchewan Inc. (TSX:POT). Fertilizer producer. Up $1.08, or 2.66 per cent, at $41.72 on 3.1 million shares. The company is setting aside for now attempts to acquire a controlling stake in Israel Chemicals Ltd., which has been a controversial issue in Israel and among the Canadian company’s shareholders. It also said its profit for the quarter amounted to US$556 million or 63 cents per diluted share, ahead of analyst estimates and up from $491 million or 56 cents per share diluted in the same quarter of 2012.
