Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 6/26/2009

Shaw Communications Incorporated (SJR: Charts, News, Offers), the Canada-based telecommunications company, announced an increase in its third quarter earnings today. Its net income jumped from $128.1 million a year ago to $131.95 million while its revenue grew to $861.4 million from $792.2 million. Shaw's quarterly performance was just about on pace with Wall Street expectations.
