TORONTO — Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:

Dollarama results

Dollarama Inc. will report its first-quarter results on Thursday morning and hold its annual shareholder meeting. The retailer said earlier this year it would resist hiking its prices as much as possible as the war in the Middle East drove up energy prices, threatening to push the cost of everything higher.
