In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan discuss some of the largest IPOs in history and whether 2026 could become a record-breaking year for new listings. They break down Saudi Aramco, Alibaba, Facebook, Uber, and Rivian, before looking ahead to potential mega-IPOs from SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. They also explore whether investor demand can keep up with these massive valuations.

The discussion then shifts to the Financial Planning Canada Financial Stress Index, highlighting how Canadians are feeling about money, rising living costs, retirement savings, debt, and the growing financial divide between younger and older generations.

Finally, they examine a new TD report that downgraded Canada’s telecom sector. Simon and Dan discuss declining ARPU, increased competition from Freedom Mobile, dividend risks, and whether companies like BCE, Telus, and Rogers can adapt to a changing market.

Tickers of stocks discussed:
BCE, T, RCI.B, META, UBER, RIVN
