Input Sector Equities: April 2026

Alright, shifting gears for April 2026. We’ve added a few new names to the tracker—Algoma, Suncor, and TransAlta—representing the input sector equities that keep the mining industry supplied. As always, the closing prices were captured weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in Canadian dollars. Let’s see how they fared through the month.

Algoma

Algoma had a solid run early on. The stock opened the month at $5.72 on April 1st and climbed steadily from there. The momentum peaked around mid-month, with the price hitting a high of $6.96 on the 14th. The latter half of April saw a bit of a pullback, with some fluctuation, but Algoma still managed to close out the 30th at $6.37—well above where it started.

Suncor

Suncor’s path was a bit more of a round trip. It kicked off April at $90.29 and initially trended upward, reaching $92.79 on the 7th. Then came a slide. The price dropped through the middle of the month, bottoming out at $83.69 on the 17th. That dip didn’t last, though. Suncor mounted a strong recovery in the final week, surging to close the month at $93.08, which was also its peak for April.

TransAlta

TransAlta couldn’t quite hold onto its early gains. The stock opened at $18.50 and saw some early strength, climbing to a monthly high of $19.36 on the 10th. From there, the trend shifted downward. The price drifted lower through the second half of the month, hitting a low of $16.45 on the 29th. A slight bounce on the final day brought it back up to $16.93, but it still finished the month in the red.

Sector Support: March 2026

Looking to the companies that keep the mines running, let’s take a glance at the heavy equipment dealers. We tracked Finning and Toromont through March 2026, capturing their closing prices weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in Canadian dollars. It wasn’t the smoothest month for either stock, with both seeing distinct downward pressure as the weeks wore on.

Finning

Finning came out of the gate strong on March 2nd, opening at $97.96. That turned out to be the high point for the entire month. From there, the price began a fairly consistent slide. By mid-month, it had dipped into the high $80s. The real drop came later, though. On March 20th, Finning hit its monthly low of $80.65. There was a bit of a bounce in the final days, but the stock ultimately closed March at $86.08.

Toromont

Toromont followed a similar path. It started the month at $213.79 on the 2nd. The first week saw a decline, pushing the price below the $200 mark by the 6th. It tried to steady itself around the $200 level mid-month—touching $201.79 on the 11th—but couldn’t hold it. The slide resumed, and Toromont hit its low of $189.96 on the 30th. A final-day rally brought it back up slightly, closing the month at $194.76.

The Raw Data

That’s the picture for the mining support sector in March. Both dealers saw their best prices at the start of the month and their worst near the end. For the full set of daily closing figures, check out the raw data post for March.

Producer Equities: March 2026

March 2026 was certainly a volatile month for the mining sector. We track four major players—Barrick, Teck, HudBay, and Agnico—capture their closing prices weekdays at 4 p.m. ET in Canadian dollars. Let’s just say those weeks were a bit of a rollercoaster, with a pronounced dip in the middle of the month followed by a late recovery.

Barrick Gold

Barrick opened the month strong at $69.17 on March 2nd. However, the first three weeks saw a steady erosion in price. The stock tumbled significantly mid-month, hitting a low of $50.96 on March 20th. That was a rough patch. But the final week brought some relief, with the price bouncing back to close the month at $56.85 on the 31st.

Teck Resources

Teck followed a similar trajectory. It started March at $78.49 but faced headwinds early on. The slide continued through the middle of the month, with the share price bottoming out at $62.24 on March 20th. Like its peers, Teck managed to recover some ground in the final stretch, ending the month at $71.74.

HudBay Minerals

HudBay saw some of the sharpest swings relative to its price. Opening at $36.56, the stock drifted downward for most of the month. The low point came on March 20th, when shares touched $24.75. The rebound was spirited, though. By March 31st, HudBay had climbed back to $29.13.

Agnico Eagle

Agnico Eagle, trading at a higher price point, mirrored the sector’s volatility. It began the month at $344.78. The selling pressure was evident, pushing the stock down to a monthly low of $248.30 on the 20th. That’s a significant drop. However, buyers stepped back in late in the month, lifting the price to $282.37 by the closing bell on the 31st.

The Raw Data

That wraps up the mining stock activity for March. It was a month defined by a broad mid-month sell-off and a subsequent rally. If you want to dig into the specific daily closing figures, head over to the full raw data post for March.
