Companies reporting major news:

Athabasca Oil Corp. (TSX:ATH). Oil and gas. Down five cents, or 0.60 per cent, to $8.34 on 1.1 million shares. William Gallacher, founder and chairman of the company, announced he was stepping down a day after its Dover oilsands project received a long-awaited green light from the Alberta government. Once all approvals are in hand, PetroChina, currently with a 60 per cent stake in the project, has 30 days to exercise its option to buy out Athabasca’s 40 per cent interest for $1.3 billion — which would be a much-needed cash infusion for Athabasca.

Stella-Jones Inc. (TSX:SJ). Forest products. Up 56 cents, or 2.07 per cent, to $27.60 on 79,021 shares. The stock went up even though the company missed analyst estimates on both earnings per share and revenue as it raise the quarterly dividend 40 per cent amid expectations that demand for its core products will remain healthy.
