Alaris Equity Partners Income Trust (TSX:AD.UN) stands out for its unique business model. Instead of traditional operations, it invests in private companies through structured equity, generating predictable cash distributions. After climbing 20% over the last year, its stock currently trades at $22.18 with a market cap of $1 billion and offers an attractive 6.6% dividend yield.
In the fourth quarter, the company’s revenue and operating profit rose 15.9% year-over-year (YoY), while earnings from operations jumped 34.8%. This growth reflects strong performance across its partner investments.
Meanwhile, Alaris is actively deploying capital. Its $75.3 million investment in Kubik is expected to generate $8.1 million in annual distributions with a 13% yield. Combined with a recent 3% distribution increase, Alaris remains a strong income-focused pick.
A&W Food stock
A&W Food Services of Canada (TSX:AW) combines a strong brand with a steady franchise model. This structure allows it to generate consistent income while expanding its footprint. Following a 12% rally in the last year, AW stock now trades at $36.59 per share with a 5.2% dividend yield.
In the fourth quarter, its system sales grew 2.5% YoY with the help of higher customer spending and traffic. Its quarterly income before taxes rose to $23.4 million, while adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) increased to $29.3 million, with margins expanding to 31.5%.
The company opened 26 new restaurants last year and expects adjusted EBITDA between $103 million and $105 million in fiscal 2026. This steady expansion supports AW stock’s growth.

In the December quarter, Brookfield Renewable’s funds from operations (FFO) rose 10% YoY, driven by strong operations and acquisitions. Its hydroelectric segment FFO reached a record US$607 million, up 19%.
A major growth driver for the company is its acquisition of Boralex in a US$9.7 billion deal, which is expected to expand its renewable footprint. With 8,000 megawatts of new capacity added in 2025, Brookfield remains well-positioned for long-term growth.
