Canada’s Building Push Puts Finning on a Record Run

The Canadian dealer of Caterpillar Inc.’s massive earth movers and bulldozers is benefiting from a construction boom that’s powered its stock into an epic rally.

Shares of Vancouver-based Finning International Inc. have surged nearly 90% this year and are on pace for their best annual run since at least 1987, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Analysts predict more gains ahead as a surge in the price of commodities — including gold, copper and silver — has boosted demand for mining equipment, just as a nationwide push for building infrastructure is gathering pace.
