Roots Corp led this week’s supplied small-cap screen by a wide margin. Several TSXV-listed companies also gained 30% or more. These figures show recent price changes, not what caused them or whether they will last.

This November 3, 2026, snapshot ranks the supplied TSX and TSXV small-cap companies by their one-week price change. Prices and market capitalizations are in Canadian dollars. The screen covers consumer discretionary, materials and companies with no specified category. Sharp weekly moves can be volatile, and the table doesn’t explain what drove them.

Investor takeaway: This screen shows reported weekly performance. It doesn’t rank business quality or predict future returns. The unusually large gain at the top and the wide range of market caps are reasons for Canadian investors to check company disclosures, liquidity and trading conditions before drawing conclusions.

Roots Corp: +1170.73% over one week

Roots Corp had the largest one-week gain in the supplied screen. Its reported one-day change was 0.00%, a reminder that the weekly figure doesn’t show how the price moved from day to day.

Bull case

Several companies in the screen posted strong weekly gains, including a number of materials companies.

Bear case

A short-term price move doesn’t explain what caused it or whether it will last. Small-cap shares can be volatile.

Adex Mining Inc (ADE.V), listed in the materials category, gained 58.82% over the week. Its reported price was CA$0.135 and its market cap was CA$94.8 million. Its one-day change was -3.57%.
