What it does
Canadian Tire runs a retail business that sells automotive parts, hardware, sporting goods and household goods under its own banners plus Mark's, Party City and SportChek, backed by a real-estate arm called CT REIT that owns many of its store sites and a financial-services arm that issues credit cards and takes deposits. It is based in Toronto and trades as a diversified Canadian retailer rather than a single-category chain.

Who it is priced against

What the diary watches
