Toronto Stock Exchange Announces the 2026 TSX30, Recognizing the Companies Scaling into Global Leaders
Annual ranking recognizes top performers across key sectors delivering a record 785% average return and $225.7 billion in new market value over three years
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2026) – Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) today announced the 2026 TSX30®, an annual ranking of the 30 top-performing companies based on three-year dividend-adjusted share price performance. The 2026 list delivered the strongest average returns since the program launched in 2019, with 785% average dividend-adjusted share price appreciation over three years-nearly double the 431% achieved by the 2025 TSX30. Collectively, the 2026 TSX30 companies represent $252.6 billion in total market capitalization, having added $225.7 billion in market value over three years.
Topping the list for the second consecutive year is Celestica Inc. (TSX: CLS), a technology company providing critical data centre infrastructure for AI, cloud, and hybrid cloud products and services, with a 2,590% dividend-adjusted share price increase over three years. Over the same period, Celestica’s market capitalization increased from $1.9 billion to $59.5 billion (as at June 30, 2026), demonstrating how rapidly a Canadian company can scale into a major global market player. Celestica also joined the S&P/TSX 60 Index* during the three-year period covered by this year’s TSX30.
Beyond the record returns, this year’s TSX30 tells a broader story of company-building in Canada, exemplifying how high-growth companies can successfully scale into larger, globally competitive companies. Four distinct sectors are represented among the top five companies, reflecting the diversity of Canada’s public markets and the emergence of companies competing in important areas of the global economy, from critical minerals and advanced technology to energy and industrial capacity.
“Just as nation-building is a priority for Canada, company-building must also be a national priority,” said Loui Anastasopoulos, CEO, Toronto Stock Exchange. “The 2026 TSX30 demonstrates the potential of Canadian companies to grow, scale and compete with the best in the world. Half of this year’s top performers are graduates of TSX Venture Exchange, a powerful example of how Canada’s capital markets can help build the next generation of Canadian champions and support them as they grow into globally competitive companies.”
“Being recognized at the top of the TSX30 for a second consecutive year reflects the strength of our strategy, our team’s execution and the trust our customers place in Celestica,” said Rob Mionis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Celestica. “We continue to scale our business by enabling critical AI data center infrastructure and advancing technologies in high-growth markets. This recognition is a testament to our people, our capabilities and our continued focus on delivering value for our customers and shareholders.”
