The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that according to Derek Warren at Lincluden Investment Management, FirstService is a stock to keep track of in 2026. The Post's Jane Switzer writes that fewer natural disasters in 2025 have weighed on the share price of the Canadian company, which offers property management, maintenance, restoration, and home improvement services for residential and commercial clients. "Because we had a couple of storm-heavy years, the Street put in forward earnings that were perhaps a little high," Mr. Warren said. "As those have come down now, people are lowering their targets and reducing their expectations." However, he said FirstService continues to increase its earnings in other divisions. He sees the potential for double-digit cash flow growth as the company continues to acquire smaller companies in property management, roofing, painting, home inspections, restoration and renovations. "They've raised their dividend, they've added additional communities that they're taking care of, they continue to grow, and therefore I think this sell-off ... that could reverse," he said. "And if that does, you're getting a nice, over 30-per-cent return from what is a stable, well-run company."
