What are the best Canadian stocks to buy right now?

The table above ranks MoatMap's top 25 TSX/TSX-V-listed stocks by StockRank, a composite of Quality, Value and Momentum percentiles across 900+ names. It refreshes monthly with a stated data date, and each ticker links to a full breakdown including SEDI insider activity.

Are Canadian bank stocks still a good investment?

The Big Five operate a protected oligopoly with among the longest dividend histories in the world; the recurring debate is their exposure to Canadian housing and consumer credit. They tend to score on Quality and shareholder yield rather than growth. Whether one currently makes the list depends on the factor mix, so check the table above rather than assuming.

Is the TSX just oil and mining?

Resources are a large weight but the misconception undersells the rest: rails, banks, insurers, grocery, telecoms and a handful of globally competitive technology and industrial names. The index's sector mix does mean the screen's output shifts with commodity cycles. That rotation is information, not noise.

What about withholding tax on Canadian dividends?

Canada withholds 25% on dividends to foreign investors, typically reduced to 15% by treaty (and often zero inside US retirement accounts under the US-Canada treaty). Factor that into yield comparisons against no-withholding markets like the UK or Singapore.

Oligopolies Plus Optionality

The Canadian core is structural moat: five banks with a protected domestic franchise and 150+ years of uninterrupted dividends, two railways forming a continental duopoly, and telecom/utility networks with regulated returns. These businesses rarely look spectacular on any single factor, but they compound with unusual persistence, and they periodically go on sale when commodity sentiment drags the whole index.

The resource half is where the dispersion lives. Energy producers post-2020 rebuilt themselves around capital discipline (debt paydown, buybacks and dividends rather than growth drilling), and the gold sector operates some of the world's best-margin mines. Resource names swing the screen's composition month to month: when they score well on Value and Momentum simultaneously, the cycle is usually turning.

SEDI, Canada's insider-filing system, provides granular director-dealing data (MoatMap ingests it via the TSX's own feed), and Canadian companies make heavy use of normal-course issuer bids: ongoing buyback programmes that file repurchases daily. Both signals appear beneath the table when active in the current top 25.
