The Quebec-based company says it has signed an agreement to buy Upper Midwest U.S. convenience store player Holiday.

Jean Coutu Group Inc. (TSX:PJC.A). Drug store chain. Up 52 cents, or 2.65 per cent, to $20.12 on 356,743 shares. The Quebec-based pharmacy retailer reported higher first-quarter revenue but lower profit compared with last year, mostly because of its generic drug manufacturing division. It had $45.5 million or 25 cents per share of net income in the quarter. That’s down from $49 million or 27 cents per share in the comparable period last year. Overall revenue increased to $750.4 million from $723.6 million a year earlier, mostly because of overall market growth.

Pengrowth Energy Corp. (TSX:PGF). Oil and gas. Unchanged at 99 cents on 840,452 shares. The Calgary-based oil and natural gas company says it has a new agreement to sell producing assets in the Olds-Garrington area of central Alberta for $300 million cash. Due to the deal, it now expects to produce an average of between 41,500 and 43,500 oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2017, down from the previous estimate of between 43,500 and 45,500 barrels per day. Pengrowth says a previously announced deal to sell an asset package in the Swan Hills area of northern Alberta has been terminated due to the buyer’s inability to arrange financing.
