August’s TSX leaders were dominated by precious metals and resources.
The top-performing S&P/TSX Composite stocks in August 2026:
Agnico Eagle Mines: +38.2%
Wheaton Precious Metals: +37.2%
Kinross Gold: +31.5%
Shopify: +24.4%
Franco-Nevada: +22.3%
The standout theme is clear: gold, precious metals and resource stocks led the Canadian market, with Shopify providing the major growth-stock exception.
A very strong month for Canada’s commodity-heavy equity market.
