Top 3 Canadian Growth Stocks To Watch In October 2026

Spiking oil prices linked to Middle East risks and shipping disruptions have reminded Canadian investors how quickly global costs can jump when supply is at risk. Businesses that can grow earnings even as borrowing costs and energy bills rise look especially interesting. This article walks through three Canadian high growth potential stocks from our screener that analysts expect to deliver strong revenue and profit expansion backed by solid balance sheets.

The three high growth potential stocks covered below are a sample from the wider screen, which surfaced 15 more Canadian companies with similar earnings profiles and balance sheets that are not featured in this article.

To go deeper on the full set, analyze the growth outlooks, and identify your own highest conviction ideas, head straight into the Best high growth potential screener.

Celestica (TSX:CLS)

Overview: Celestica provides design, manufacturing, and supply chain services for hardware platforms, with a key focus on cloud and AI data center infrastructure.

Operations: Celestica generates about US$3.3b from Advanced Technology Solutions and roughly US$12.3b from its Connectivity & Cloud Solutions segment that serves hyperscalers and cloud providers.

Market Cap: CA$60.9b

Celestica fits the high growth potential theme through its Connectivity and Cloud Solutions arm, which supplies rack-scale hardware and services to hyperscalers, including the Helios AI platform co-developed with AMD. Rapid earnings expansion, a high ROE, and AI data center exposure are key elements of the investment case, which depends in part on how one unseen pressure shapes future cloud infrastructure orders.

That unseen pressure is exactly what the 4 key rewards and 1 important major warning sign could be quantifying, before AI demand or capital intensity surprise you.

LunR Royalties (TSX:LUNR)

Overview: LunR Royalties is a Vancouver based royalty and streaming company with copper, gold, and silver interests across major Latin American projects.

Market Cap: CA$2.1b

LunR Royalties connects directly to the Best high growth potential theme because its copper and precious metal royalties can scale as production ramps without heavy new capital spend. Forecasts point to top line and earnings expansion over the next three years. However, the key question is how one future swing factor may reshape what investors are currently willing to pay for that growth.

That swing factor is exactly what the 1 key reward and 2 important warning signs (1 is major!) could be spelling out before LunR Royalties growth expectations and royalty optionality start to decouple.

Fortuna Mining (TSX:FVI)

Overview: Fortuna Mining is a Vancouver based precious and base metals producer. Its Lindero and Séguéla gold mines anchor its high growth potential profile.

Operations: Fortuna Mining generates about $680 million from Sango, $357 million from Mansfield, and $145 million from Bateas, primarily across Ivory Coast, Argentina, and Peru.

Market Cap: CA$4.3 billion

Fortuna Mining combines a forecast 27.71% annual earnings growth rate with recent profit momentum and a balance sheet backed by cash generating gold assets. Production growth from Lindero and Séguéla, plus the Bambadji and Diamba Sud project pipeline, provides several potential growth drivers. However, the outlook depends in part on how funding costs and expansion economics evolve over time.

Those funding and expansion trade offs are exactly where the 5 key rewards and 1 important warning sign can sharpen your view before sentiment shifts on Fortuna Mining.
