The Canadian market experienced a significant decline on Friday, continuing its recent downward trend. This drop is attributed to concerns over global economic growth projections and looming tariff hikes proposed by Donald Trump. Notably, sectors such as materials, energy, healthcare, and communications have witnessed substantial losses.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index has fallen by 158.97 points or 0.63%, positioning at 25,251.74 just after noon.

Enghouse Systems (ENGH.TO) shares plummeted over 10% following a decrease in net income for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The company reported a net income of $22.6 million, compared to $25.1 million during the same period the previous year.

TerraVest Industries (TVK.TO) saw a decline of 7.7% amid lower quarterly earnings, reporting a fourth-quarter net income of $12.83 million, down from $17.39 million a year earlier.

Additional stocks such as Ero Copper (ERO.TO), Telesat Corporation (TSAT.TO), Eldorado Gold (ELD.TO), Teck Resources (TECK.B.TO), Keyera Corp (KEY.TO), and others, including West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO) and Pan American Silver Corp (PAAS.TO), decreased by 2 to 5%.

Conversely, on the upswing, Celestica Inc (CLS.TO) surged nearly 7%, with Velan Inc (VLN.TO) increasing by 4.7%. Companies like Tecsys (TCS.TO), Hut 8 Corp (HUT.TO), ATS Corporation (ATS.TO), Jamieson Wellness (JWEL.TO), Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO), and Capital Power Corporation (CPX.TO) have recorded gains ranging from 1 to 3%.

In economic developments, Statistics Canada reported a 2.1% rise in manufacturing sales month-over-month in October, marking the first increase in three months. Additionally, wholesale sales grew by 1% month-over-month in October, following a revised 1.3% rise in September. The operational capacity of Canadian industries slightly increased to 79.3% in the third quarter from 79.1% in the previous quarter. However, car registrations in Canada fell to 163,577 units in October from 166,557 units in September, according to Statistics Canada data.
