Toronto-listed stocks started the week firmly higher, with materials, energy, and tech stocks leading the gainers. However, Ensign Energy Services reported a decline in revenue in the first quarter, missing targets. The lower revenue was largely due to lower U.S. and international drilling. In other news, Brookfield Asset Management announced a $1.5 billion investment in Castlelake, acquiring a 51% stake in the asset manager’s fee-related earnings. This move aims to expand Castlelake’s investment business. Brookfield shares are up 1.1%.
