However, on Wednesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/287\/CNR-T\">CN Rail<\/a> said it was lowering its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/canad-natio-rail-results\/cn-rail-cuts-full-year-adjusted-profit-outlook-on-lower-demand-idUSL3N2773KH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guidance<\/a> for 2019 due to sluggish rail volumes and a soft North American economic outlook.<\/p>\n<p>CN still enjoyed higher revenue and net profits in Q3.The stock closed Wednesday 1% higher. After-hours, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/308\/CP-T\">CP<\/a> reported its own <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/cp-reports-record-q3-revenues-200500741.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earnings<\/a> which were largely in-line with street expectations and were slightly better than CN&#8217;s. CP announced record Q3 earnings of $1.98 billion. Contrast that with cannabis producer, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/5737\/HEXO-T\">Hexo<\/a>, whose wild ride continued Wednesday when it postponed their Q4 earnings to Oct. 28 and surprised the street with a private <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/hexo-postpones-q4-earnings-release-plans-54-million-debt-raise-2019-10-23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">debt<\/a> raise of $70 million. Earlier this month, Hexo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/cannabis-canada-hexo-cfo-quits-quebec-based-pot-producer-citing-family-reasons-1.1326814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CFO<\/a> quit, then the company issued a revenue warning. On Wednesday, Hexo closed up 3.54% at $3.51, but just a month ago they traded at $5.84 on the TSX.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to telcos and tech, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/1026\/RCIB-T\">Rogers<\/a> helped dragged the TSX slightly into the negative after lowering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/business\/article-rogers-stock-drops-as-unlimited-wireless-plans-hit-overage-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guidance<\/a>. Apparently, too many Canadian signed up for their unlimited data plans which weighted on their bottom line. Rogers was hammered by 8.12% to $61.00. It remains the weakest Canadian telco in terms of stock performance over the past year. In Washington, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/4277\/FB-Q\">Facebook<\/a> founder Mark Zuckerberg was back on Capitol Hill, grilled over his Libra cryptocurrency. Investors were not worried, however, as the social media giant closed 2.09% up. Meanwhile, tech juggernaut, <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/company\/view\/820\/MSFT-Q\">Microsoft<\/a>, announced another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/23\/microsoft-msft-earnings-q1-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earnings<\/a> beat after-hours.
