Information Tech Capped Index ($TTTK) – SHOP.TO; KXS.TO & GIB.A

Summary

  • TTTK is an index, not a stock: the S&P/TSX Capped Information Technology Index.
  • For the week ending August 7, 2026, the index gained approximately 8.8%, based on its closely tracking XIT ETF.
  • Shopify’s 28.7% earnings-driven surge accounted for most of the sector’s increase.
  • Kinaxis gained 3.2% following strong Q2 recurring-revenue growth and higher guidance.
  • CGI rose 1.7%, supported by earnings growth, but its modest organic revenue growth limited the increase.

Why TTTK Increased

TTTK is highly concentrated. Its four largest companies represent more than 80% of the index.

CompanyApprox. July 31 weightWeekly return
Shopify27.1%+28.7%
Constellation Software23.8%Not the primary weekly catalyst
Celestica22.8%Secondary contributor
CGI9.7%+1.7%
Kinaxis2.3%+3.2%

Using the July 31 weights, Shopify alone contributed roughly: 27.1%×28.7%≈7.8 percentage points

Therefore, Shopify generated close to 90% of TTTK’s estimated 8.8% weekly gain. This also increased Shopify’s weight to approximately 30% by the end of the week.

Brief Company Comparison

ShopifyC$164.18C$211.37+28.7%Major earnings beat and strong Q3 guidance
KinaxisC$168.00C$173.43+3.2%SaaS and ARR growth; guidance raised
CGIC$102.61C$104.38+1.7%Strong EPS growth but modest revenue growth

Shopify: +28.7%

Shopify reported:

  • Revenue of US$3.58 billion, up 34%;
  • gross merchandise volume of US$115.57 billion, up 32%;
  • adjusted EPS of US$0.42, above expectations;
  • an 18% free-cash-flow margin; and
  • Q3 revenue guidance in the low-30% growth range.

The guidance was well above the market’s prior expectation of approximately 27%. The results also reduced concerns that generative AI could weaken Shopify’s position. Management instead demonstrated that AI tools and partnerships are increasing merchant engagement.

Interpretation: strongest growth, but also the highest short-term valuation and volatility risk after a nearly 29% weekly increase.

Kinaxis: +3.2%

Kinaxis reported:

  • Total revenue growth of 16%;
  • SaaS revenue growth of 20%;
  • annual recurring revenue growth of 19%, or 21% in constant currency;
  • adjusted EBITDA growth of 23%; and
  • a 130-basis-point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin.

Management increased its full-year total-revenue and SaaS-growth guidance.

Interpretation: healthy recurring growth and improving margins, but its 2.3% index weight meant the gain had little influence on TTTK.

CGI: +1.7%

CGI’s latest results included:

  • Revenue growth of 2.5%, or 1.3% in constant currency;
  • net earnings growth of 13.8%; and
  • diluted EPS growth of 22.5%.

CGI’s earnings benefited from margin control and a lower share count, while underlying organic revenue growth remained modest.

Interpretation: more stable and less expensive than high-growth software companies, but with a slower top-line growth profile.

Key Risks

  • Concentration: Shopify, Constellation Software and Celestica represent approximately three-quarters of TTTK.
  • Shopify reversal: A 10% decline in Shopify could reduce TTTK by approximately three percentage points at its current weight.
  • Valuation: XIT reported a portfolio P/E of approximately 47 times, indicating considerable growth expectations.
  • Earnings sensitivity: After the weekly increase, disappointing guidance from any major constituent could produce a sharp index correction.

Short-Term Scenarios

ScenarioRequirementTTTK implication
BullShopify holds its earnings gain and other major constituents strengthenContinued upward momentum
BaseShopify consolidates while CGI and Kinaxis remain stableSideways movement after the surge
BearProfit-taking in Shopify or weaker software valuationsPartial reversal of the weekly gain

The positive short-term thesis would be disproved by Shopify surrendering a substantial portion of its earnings-day gain on heavy volume.
