Top 10 TSX Tickers
TMX Money’s Top Ten TSX Ticker Searches for 2024
With 2024 now in the rearview mirror, new data has illuminated which tickers on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) attracted the most attention on TMX Money.
Throughout the year, BCE Inc. (BCE) emerged as the top-searched ticker by a relatively wide margin. This should not come as a particular surprise: The telecommunications giant attracted a lot of attention around its balance sheet and some high profile M&A transactions.
However, the company may be positioned for a comeback, due in part to the recent acquisition of Ziply Fiber. Adding the U.S. internet provider to its roster gives BCE a new avenue to diversify its revenue.
Ranking second on the list were Class B Common Shares for Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B) Broadly speaking, the business and commercial aircraft company has enjoyed particularly strong results in the last year.
These results are due in part to how well the company has benefitted from the post-pandemic travel boom. Expectations remain high that Bombardier will continue to deliver compelling results ahead of its next earnings report in February.
Interestingly enough, the remainder of the top five searched TSX tickers in 2024 are all banks. Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) found itself in third place, while The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) followed close behind.
The Royal Bank of Canada (RY) rounded out the group as the fifth most-searched TSX ticker in 2024. As such, this data highlights how many of the biggest banks in Canada remain at the forefront of investors’ minds.
Enbridge Inc. (ENB) ranked as the sixth most-searched TSX ticker last year. The energy infrastructure giant had emerged as a highly attractive dividend stock in 2024, with results ballooned by key acquisitions in the third quarter.
Holding down seventh place was TELUS Corporation (T). Specializing in telecommunications and information technology, the Canadian company saw mixed quarterly results throughout the year.
Sitting as the eighth and ninth most-searched TSX tickers in 2024 are two more Canadian financial giants. The Bank of Montreal (BMO)ranked in eighth place, with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM) following closely behind.
Rounding out the list at tenth place were the Air Canada Voting and Variable Voting Shares (AC) . Much like Bombardier, Air Canada has emerged as a company well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing post-pandemic travel boom.

Taking a closer look at these TSX tickers can help illuminate which Canadian companies and sectors are seeing the most interest from investors and experts. Some of the highlighted tickers may be more tied to individual company performance, such as BCE and Enbridge. However, this list could indicate that Canadian banks and transportation giants are emerging as attractive investment themes.
Looking ahead, it’s too early to tell whether these companies will continue to command investor attention throughout the year. However, for many of these tickers, momentum certainly seems to be in their favor.
