One of the most effective ways to multiply your wealth is by investing in companies undergoing major transformations. When a business successfully restructures, improves profitability, or focuses on higher-margin opportunities, its stock can deliver exceptional long-term returns. Two Canadian companies currently fit that profile perfectly. One is unlocking hidden value through a strategic spin-off, while the other is staging a comeback in a rapidly growing tech sector. Let’s take a closer look at both.

Maple Leaf Foods (TSX:MFI): Unlocking Value Through Restructuring
Maple Leaf Foods, one of Canada’s leading food producers, is entering a new growth phase after a significant transformation. The stock has already gained 57% in 2025 and trades around $23.35 per share, giving it a market capitalization of roughly $2.83 billion and a dividend yield of 3.1%.
Headquartered in Mississauga, Maple Leaf recently spun off its pork operations, Canada Packers, into a separately listed TSX company. This strategic move allows Maple Leaf to concentrate entirely on its branded meat and prepared foods business — a segment known for higher margins and greater stability.
The company’s latest quarterly results reflect this shift in momentum. For the three months ended June 2025, meat protein sales rose 6.1% year over year, while adjusted EBITDA surged 50.7% to $106.7 million. Gross margins also expanded significantly from 15.4% to 19.1%, supported by better pricing and easing supply chain costs. With a leaner structure, stronger margins, and a clearer growth trajectory, Maple Leaf Foods appears well-positioned for continued upside.

BlackBerry (TSX:BB): A Comeback Story in AI and Automotive Software
Once a smartphone pioneer, BlackBerry has reinvented itself as a high-tech software company focused on cybersecurity, enterprise AI, and automotive systems. Now trading at $6.64 per share with a market cap of about US$3.9 billion, BlackBerry is demonstrating that its turnaround is more than just talk.
In the August 2025 quarter, revenue rose 3% year over year to US$129.6 million, while the company delivered a net profit of US$13.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of US$25.9 million — its second consecutive profitable quarter.
BlackBerry’s QNX division remains its key growth driver, with revenue climbing 15% year over year to US$63.1 million. The software now runs in over 255 million vehicles globally and has been integrated into NVIDIA’s autonomous driving platform, reinforcing its relevance in the connected car ecosystem. Meanwhile, the secure communications business generated US$59.9 million in revenue, with annual recurring revenue reaching US$213 million.
With growing traction in automotive AI and a sustained return to profitability, BlackBerry is emerging as one of Canada’s most intriguing comeback stories. As both Maple Leaf Foods and BlackBerry execute their transformations, these TSX-listed stocks could offer investors the potential to multiply their investment many times over in the coming years.
