Media Round-Up - August 19
While market volatility and concerns about the health of the global economy continued to dominate news coverage this week, there was still plenty of room in Canada’s major outlets for Equicom clients.
Near the end of the week, Absolute Software reported Q4 and year-end results. CFO Rob Chase appeared on BNN remotely from Vancouver to talk about the results.
Also on BNN this week was Exchange Industrial CEO Mike Pyle. He appeared early in the week to talk in more detail about the company’s growth strategy for the remainder of the year. That was after Exchange reported a 141% up-tick in revenue to $147 in its second quarter, and a 66% boost to EBITDA.
The Globe and Mail took note of analyst comments on the company’s quarter and profiled them in Eye on Equities.
New analyst coverage for Karnalyte got the attention of National Post mining reporter Peter Koven. He covered Scotia’s initial report for the potash company, noting the analyst’s comment that Karnalyte could be the next potash producer in the potash-rich Saskatchewan area.
Also at the Post, columnist Barry Critchley took at look at Timbercreek Asset Management. Earlier this month, Timbercreek closed a $100 million fund, its third in the last four years. Critchley spoke to CEO Blair Tamblyn and CFO Ugo Bizzarri and wrote this article.
Both the Globe and Post took note of Paladin Labs’ announcement that it is buying specialty drug developer Labopharm in a deal worth about $20.4 million.
