Companies in the news:
Air Canada. (TSX:AC). Down $1.26, or 6.54 per cent, to $18.00. Air Canada continued its post-pandemic recovery last quarter, earning roughly 10 per cent higher profits year-over-year while straining to keep a lid on costincreases that have plagued the industry. Net income rose to $184 million in the airline's fourth quarter from $168 million a year earlier, the company reported Friday. Adjusted earnings of $521 million marked a 34-per-cent jump. But the latter fell below consensus expectations of $548 million, according to financial markets data firm Refinitiv.
Aimia Inc. (TSX:AIM). Down 15 cents, or 4.49 per cent, to $3.19. Mithaq Capital SPC says it's dropping its hostile takeover offer for Aimia Inc. after not enough shares were tendered before the bid expired on Thursday. As a result, no shares were acquired under the proposal and any shares that had been deposited under the bid will be returned, the company says.
B2Gold Corp (TSX:BTO). Down four cents, or 1.17 per cent, to $3.38. B2Gold Corp. says three employees have died after an attack on a bus transporting workers in Mali.

It says initial reports indicate several other employees travelling on the bus were also wounded.
TD Bank (TSX:TD). Up 38 cents, or 0.47 per cent, to $80.87. The $15.9-million settlement of a class-action lawsuit related to TD Bank Group's non-sufficient fund fees has been approved by an Ontario Superior Court. The settlement will compensate customers who were double-charged a $48 fee and comes as scrutiny grows on the charging of such fees, including a push by the federal government to lower them.
