2 Canadian Stocks That Could Turn $10,000 Into $100,000
Written by Amy Legate-Wolfe at The Motley Fool Canada When markets feel uncertain, the idea of turning $10,000 into $100,000 sounds almost too good to be true. But every so often, certain stocks line up the right mix of growth potential, industry momentum, and financial strength to make it a real possibility. On the TSX, two Canadian stocks that stand out right now are Celestica (TSX:CLS) and ATS (TSX:ATS). Each brings something different to the table, but both could have the power to deliver serious long-term gains. Celestica is a global leader in electronics manufacturing and supply chain solutions. It works across industries such as aerospace, healthcare, and industrial equipment. While it's not a flashy tech stock, it has quietly become one of the most impressive turnaround stories on the TSX. Its recent earnings beat expectations, and the Canadian stock even raised its 2025 guidance. That's helped fuel a strong rally, with the stock climbing more than 30% in a single month following the announcement. The Canadian stock's recent quarterly results showed a continued increase in margins and revenue. With a market cap of about $20.7 billion, it still has room to grow. Celestica is benefiting from strong demand in its advanced technology segment and re-shoring trends as companies look to move manufacturing out of more volatile regions. As businesses invest in local, secure, and highly automated production, Celestica stands to gain. Over time, the power of compounding takes over. If Celestica were to grow at an average annual rate of 25% over the next decade, a $10,000 investment today could realistically be worth more than $93,000. Add in a few more strong quarters or an acquisition, and you're suddenly knocking on the door of that six-figure mark. Then there's ATS. This is a Canadian stock rooted in automation. It builds factory solutions for the life sciences, battery assembly, food and beverage, and clean tech sectors. With global companies racing to automate production and scale sustainable technology, ATS is in the right place at the right time. But its recent earnings report reminded investors that growth doesn't always happen in a straight line. ATS reported revenue of $2.5 billion for fiscal 2025, down 17% from the previous year. It also posted a loss of $0.70 per share, compared to a profit of $0.49 per share a year ago. The decline hit the Canadian stock hard. But despite the dip in revenue and earnings, ATS continues to generate strong adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and maintains a solid backlog of future work. It's also worth considering the starting point. With a market cap around $4.1 billion, ATS still falls in the mid-cap range, leaving plenty of room for a multi-bagger move. If the Canadian stock returns to consistent double-digit revenue growth and improves margins, it could easily see its valuation rise dramatically over the next five to ten years. Of course, no Canadian stock is a sure thing. Celestica operates in a competitive space and depends on supply chain stability. ATS is exposed to cycles in capital investment and has work to do to regain investor trust. Yet both companies are backed by real demand, strong leadership, and smart positioning to benefit from key global trends. For investors with patience, a bit of risk tolerance, and a long-term mindset, these two Canadian stocks might just be the kind that can turn a $10,000 investment into something much bigger. It won't happen overnight, but with the right moves and a little market tailwind, the math makes sense. And in today's market, that kind of potential is worth a second look.

AADK to tackle rising drug threats in comprehensive approach
KOTA BHARU: The National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) is currently facing an increasingly complex drug abuse landscape, marked by the emergence of new psychoactive substances and a significant rise in the abuse of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS) among teenagers and youth. Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said this growing challenge demands a comprehensive and integrated strategy, covering aspects such as education, public awareness, treatment, rehabilitation, and the empowerment of local communities. 'The latest statistics up to March 2025 show that a total of 108,409 drug or substance abusers and addicts were detected nationwide, which is a decrease of 10.5 per cent compared to 121,170 cases for the corresponding period in 2024. 'In Kelantan, the data shows a decrease of 5.4 per cent, which is 11,280 people compared to 11,928 drug and substance abusers and addicts for the same period the previous year,' he told a press conference after a programme with AADK and the Malaysian Drug Prevention Association (Pemadam), here, last night. Shamsul Anuar said the drug and substance abuse rate in Kelantan stood at 597 per 100,000 residents, down from 632 people for the corresponding period last year. According to him, the primary category of drug abuse in Kelantan remains ATS, accounting for 89.3 per cent or 10,071 individuals as of March 2025. The second highest category is Opiate, comprising 6.8 per cent of the total amount of drug and substance abuse in the state. Shamsul Anuar said this trend reflects the outcome of targeted and extensive preventive measures by AADK, in collaboration with the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), including efforts to seal off illegal smuggling routes, commonly known as 'rat holes', particularly along the country's border areas in Kelantan. 'This data indicates positive developments for the first quarter of this year. However, we must not become complacent as it is still too early to assume that the drug and substance abuse situation is fully under control,' he said. Shamsul Anuar stressed that the issue of drug abuse is no longer an ordinary threat but has escalated into an increasingly critical social and public health crisis. He said that in today's fast-evolving world, new challenges continue to surface, from easier access to illicit substances to the influence of social media, which is gradually reshaping public perceptions about the dangers of drug abuse. 'The youth, who should be the backbone of the country's development, are now increasingly exposed to and trapped in the destructive cycle of drug abuse,' he said. In this regard, he emphasised that enforcement and preventive measures would continue to be intensified to ensure that the issue is addressed comprehensively and effectively. Shamsul Anuar said that to realise this goal, strategic collaboration with all stakeholders, including the state government, educational institutions, community leaders and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), especially Pemadam, would continue to be enhanced. 'AADK is also committed to strengthening the role of Pemadam, recognising its great potential as a powerful community voice capable of mobilising grassroots efforts to reject the drug threat from the grassroots level jointly. 'I believe that the existing synergy between AADK and Pemadam can be further strengthened through various strategic initiatives. With fresher, community-driven approaches, these partnerships can complement drug prevention and rehabilitation programmes, especially in the community,' he said. He also emphasised that every step taken must be guided by reliable data, scientific methods, and strategic frameworks developed by AADK to ensure that all initiatives are not carried out on an ad hoc basis, but are well-structured and capable of delivering long-term, sustainable impact. Last June 18, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim expressed concern over the problem of drug and vaping abuse among youth, especially Malay youth. He reportedly said the situation was worsening and required a comprehensive solution involving various approaches, including counselling and dakwah.

Army jawan held in UP for hoarding 70 AK-47 cartridges for ‘illegal supply'
Meerut: A 32-year-old Army soldier has been arrested in Meerut's Pallavpuram area with 70 AK-47 cartridges, which he allegedly stole and intended to sell after bringing them from J&K, police said on Thursday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A senior police officer, requesting anonymity, said that an Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) officer lodged a complaint on Wednesday after detaining the accused at Pallavpuram police station. An FIR was subsequently registered under Section 7 of the Arms Act, which pertains to unauthorised possession or sale of prohibited arms or ammunition. "The arrest was made on the same day following a tip-off," the officer added. The identity of the soldier, who is in the rank of sepoy, has not been disclosed due to the sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation, officials said. According to a copy of the FIR accessed by TOI, the accused told the police that the cartridges had been kept hidden from the anti-terrorist operations of the Army during his posting in J&K. He added that he had come to sell the cartridges in Meerut but got arrested. Currently posted in Maharashtra, the sepoy had come to his native village in Meerut's Daurala area on June 9 for a month-long leave. During the arrest attempt, he allegedly tried to flee in his vehicle but was nabbed. Military intelligence, local police, and other security agencies are jointly investigating to identify the intended recipient and whether there are any links to criminal or terrorist networks.
