  • Prior was 1.3%
  • Manufacturing sales rose 2.1% to C$70.8B in October, rebounding from two straight monthly declines
  • In volume terms: Sales up 1.4%
  • Year-over-year: Down 0.2%
  • Petroleum and coal products led gains, surging 15.9%
  • Transportation equipment sales increased 3.7%
  • Motor vehicle sales hit highest level since April 2024
  • Paper sales dropped 3.5%, biggest decline among sectors

Other details:

  • Inventory-to-sales ratio improved to 1.69 from 1.72
  • Capacity utilization rate rose to 80.5% from 78.6%
  • Unfilled orders edged down 0.2% to C$104.6B

A solid rebound in Canadian manufacturing, driven mainly by petroleum products and autos. But the year-over-year decline suggests some underlying weakness remains.
