Chemtrade Announces Potential Impact From Impending U.S. Rail Strike

2022-09-17 20:16:57 By : Ms. Nicole Jiang

TORONTO, September 12, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (TSX: CHE.UN) warned a possible labour strike at major U.S. freight railroads, including the preparations for such strike, could have a material negative impact on Chemtrade’s business results. Chemtrade, its suppliers, and customers rely on rail service for the movement of raw materials and finished goods. In preparation for the strike, many of the U.S. railroads have already started pre-emptively curtailing the shipment of certain goods, which will impact Chemtrade’s ability to ship chlorine, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide to customers starting this week. Further, these restrictions may impact Chemtrade’s ability to receive raw materials and ship finished goods across all business lines. If the rail workers go on strike, the exact impact on Chemtrade’s business will depend on the duration of the strike and the length of time for rail service to normalize. Due to the complexity of the rail network and the uncertainty of the duration of the strike, it is not possible to estimate the impact to Chemtrade’s business results at this time.

Nvidia Corp. faces a very different environment versus two years ago when it last launched a new chip architecture, one where demand is falling and its stock price has been more than halved over the year.

Stocks have been under a lot of pressure this year, weighed down by rising interest rates to combat inflation. If there's a silver lining to the sell-off, dividend yields move inversely to stock prices. Because of that, many dividend yields are much higher right now.

We’re getting toward the tail end of the year, and it’s time to start deciding just how to allocate the portfolio for a solid year-end return. In a recent note from JPMorgan, focused on the energy sector, 5-star analyst Arun Jayaram recommended oil and gas producers as likely to beat the overall markets going forward. Getting quickly to the bottom line, Jayaram states, "We remain fans of the longer-term story for natural gas driven by a growing global demand for low cost U.S. gas exports." With

Essentially, it's having a killer business model that doesn't need to change much to stay profitable, relevant, and rewarding for shareholders as the years roll by. With that thought in mind, let's examine a trio of stocks worth buying and holding forever -- and you've probably already heard of all three.

After three months of highly volatile trading, which have seen the S&P 500 drop down toward 3,600, rally up to 4,300, and fall back down to 3,900, investors can be forgiven for feeling some whiplash. The question that needs answering, however, is where will the markets go from here? Morgan Stanley strategist Andrew Slimmon believes that investors shouldn’t worry too much about the bear case. Worse-than-expected inflation numbers for August may have pushed the markets into a tumble this week, but

For four days running, shares of industrial giant General Electric (NYSE: GE) have gone nowhere but down, including a 3.7% decline on Friday. Partially, that downward pressure has come from inflation and rising interest rates, and partially from the possibility that its labor costs will rise. Its really big problem is in the supply chain.

If just two themes have defined the stock market in 2022, those themes would be stock splits and the bear market. Both have disproportionately affected the technology sector, with some of the largest tech companies in the U.S. opting for stock splits to reduce their high share prices, and the Nasdaq-100 tech index bearing the brunt of the broader market losses. Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have all conducted stock splits this year, and each stock has touched its 52-week low within the last four months.

It's no secret that investors are worried about runaway inflation. Cathie Wood and Elon Musk see deflation as the bigger threat.

One area we believe will perform well even in an economic downturn is the food industry, which is full of blue chip stocks that have performed well in several recessions, thanks to their strong business models that have allowed for decades of dividend growth.
