With 2024 now behind us, new ticker search data has illuminated which tickers on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) attracted the most attention on TMX MoneyⓇ.
Throughout the year, BCE Inc. emerged as the top-searched ticker by a relatively wide margin. BCE operates as one of Canada’s largest communications companies, providing telecommunications services to residents across the country. Additionally, the company recently completed the acquisition of Ziply Fiber. Adding the U.S. internet provider to its roster could give BCE a new avenue to diversify its revenue.
Ranking second on the list were Class B Common Shares for Bombardier Inc.. Bombardier designs and maintains business jets and other aircraft across the globe.
Interestingly, the remaining top five searched TSX tickers in 2024 are all banks. Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) came in third place, while The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Royal Bank of Canada rounded out the group as the fifth most-searched TSX ticker in 2024.
Enbridge Inc. ranked as the sixth most-searched TSX ticker last year. The midstream oil giant manages a wide variety of pipelines across North America. Back in October, Enbridge expanded its North American operations via the acquisition of Public Service Company of North Carolina.
Holding down seventh place was TELUS Corporation. The Canadian company, specializing in telecommunications and information technology, saw mixed quarterly results throughout the year. s
Sitting as the eighth and ninth most-searched TSX tickers in 2024 are two more Canadian financial giants. The Bank of Montreal ranked in eighth place, with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce following closely behind. Between these two and the three banks mentioned above, this data highlights how many of the biggest banks in Canada remain at the forefront of investors’ minds.
Rounding out the list at tenth place were the Air Canada Voting and Variable Voting Shares. Much like Bombardier, Air Canada may see certain benefits from the ongoing post-pandemic travel boom.
