Corporate operating profit rises 9.7 per cent to $228.2 billion in second quarter
Statistics Canada reports Canadian corporations' operating profit was up $20.1 billion from the first quarter, with the gain mainly in non-financial industries.
Canadian corporations reported operating profit of $228.2 billion in the second quarter, an increase of $20.1 billion, or 9.7 per cent, from the first quarter, Statistics Canada said Aug. 24.
The agency attributed the quarterly increase mainly to non-financial industries. Compared with the same quarter one year earlier, operating profit was up $29.7 billion, or 15.0 per cent.
The figures are not seasonally adjusted, and the agency did not report a margin of error. A quarterly move is not a trend, and the national total does not show how profit was distributed across industries or provinces.
