When it comes to finding winners on the TSXit can be easy to assume that those big wins will come from superpowers like banks or energy. However, there are many more top performers, spanning years and years. And some in quite surprising parts of the market.
Whether it’s software companies, packaging companies or even incredibly niche stocks, these fly under the radar. And in fact, they can provide quite a few opportunities. So let’s take a look at a few today TSX winners joining the TSX today from some surprising sectors.
DOL
Now that may not be a surprise Dollarama (TSX:DOL) is a winner, but it comes from a surprising sector. Retail and discount stores are a niche segment that many growth investors miss due to their low glamor and low margins. Still, Dollarama shares have been quietly amplifying returns over the past decade.
This achievement comes from several angles. The retailer has leveraged its bargaining scale and suppliers, optimized logistics and refined store layouts to increase productivity. Meanwhile, it has expanded through Dollarcity in Latin America and more recently the Reject Shop in Australia.
Its strength was last seen in the second quarter of 2026, with earnings per share of $1.16, while revenue rose 10%. Meanwhile, the return on equity (ROE) reached more than 135%! In addition, investors were treated to a renewed buyback program. All told, while it trades at a high price-to-earnings ratio, it’s still a TSX stock that offers multi-year earnings.
EIF
Exchange income (TSX:EIF) is a surprise sector winner, without the flashy themes, but a sustainable, diversified company in aerospace and industrial manufacturing. TSX stock is at the intersection of regional aviation and aerospace, as well as specialty manufacturing. Even though it is not glamorous, many are overlooking it, despite the money flowing in from essential services.
And those essential services are not slowing down, as EIF slowly diversifies through acquisitions. This includes the Canadian North, expanding its presence into remote Canadian markets. Record results were also achieved in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in an increase in expectations for the year.
Analysts continue to believe it is a strong buy thanks to its diversification, contractual stability in remote markets, capital upgrades and growth through acquisitions. And with a monthly dividend, it’s a winner in any portfolio.
SJ
Finally we have that Stella Jones (TSX:SJ), another less glamorous but essential TSX stock. The company deals with pressure-treated lumber, utility poles and wood products for infrastructure. This moat allows it to tie itself to essential applications such as utilities and infrastructure rather than trends.
This strength was also visible in the second quarter of 2025 and exceeded expectations. Earnings per share were $1.91, while revenue rose to $1 billion. Additionally, it has updated its 2025 revenue to an estimated $3.5 billion. Furthermore, SJ stock trades at just 15 times earnings!
Analysts are bullish on the TSX stock due to its favorable impact on infrastructure investments, price and margin power, acquisition potential, resilience and, of course, value. Although there may be some declines due to its cyclical nature, the end result is clear. SJ is a strong TSX stock that offers multi-year wins.
In short
In short, if you’re scanning the TSX today and looking for tomorrow’s long-term outperformers, don’t just focus on the largest market caps. Instead, pay attention to those niche areas of the market. The ones that may not look exciting, but will lead you to exciting long-term profits.
