Equitable Group (EQB-T) is a very well-managed company with a strong management team and consistent growth over the past 20 years. However, there are concerns about the impact of a tightening credit cycle and potential risks in the real estate market that could affect earnings through mortgages. Despite a high return on equity and being less diversified than Canadian banks, the company is not yet priced low enough for a buy recommendation.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Equitable Group

Are very well-managed. Are exposed to insurance, too. He's been wanting to buy this for years, but the price keeps running away from him. Trades at 1.3x book and 9.5x PE. Doesn't pay a big dividend, because they reinvest into the company, which is good.

DON'T BUY
Equitable Group

Good, but is less diversified than the Canadian banks. Also, he fears the real estate market will hit a bigger snag than many believe, and that would impact EQB earnings (through mortgages).

WAIT
Equitable Group

Great company, alternative lender, very well managed. Though stock's not that expensive, he's waiting for a pullback. Rising rates haven't slowed the mortgage market to a significant enough degree to impact the share price.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Equitable Group

It is very well managed and has a high ROE. There are risks in the sector with a real estate slowdown. Still not priced low enough yet, so wait.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research.

One of the criteria we used is Total long-term debt to Total Equity less than 1.5x, and EQB does not meet those criteria. 
However, we think EQB’s capital base is good, growth has been strong recently. 
We like EQB and would be comfortable holding it for the long term.

WEAK BUY
Equitable Group
Trading close to book value. He's looking at it. Concerns are net interest margins and funding costs. Fairly diversified portfolio of sources of capital. Potential loan growth might be stunted with housing slowdown. Improved commercial mortgages. Pending acquisition should go well.

Extremely well managed company. Very successful in gaining market share in alternative lending. Launching initiative to become a challenger bank (will be 6th or 7th largest bank in Canada soon). Current share price presenting good buying opportunity. Share price to book value is currently a good price.

BUY
Equitable Group
A great business with a strong management team. They take advantage of inefficiencies in Canadian industry that banks are not doing. Their bank offering is doing well with increase in account openings. They have seen big deferrals from last quarter but it has now stabilized. There is good organic growth and a possible expansion of the addressable market.

PARTIAL SELL

We aren't to going to have enough homes for retirees. Living in your home is going to be a big thing and reverse mortgages are going to be a big thing. He does not know if equitable is going to be the place to play this. He would partial sell these REITs at the moment.

DON'T BUY
Equitable Group

He thinks this mortgage lender has a dividend that is growing and trades at a low PE ratio. It is not a low risk company, as it makes loans to non-conventional borrowers. At this point in the market cycle, with high consumer debt, he would prefer to own a bank with larger market cap and higher liquidity. Yield 1.5%.
