Stock price when the opinion was issued
Building US business dramatically, planning to take public sometime in the future. Canadian side is well run, but the mutual funds business hasn't grown in years, perhaps 10% a year. Big dividend. Combining both sides of the business should garner a $35 stock price easily, $50 if they really tried. Yield is 4.6%.
(Analysts’ price target is $19.25)
Sell this and buy Shaw Communications (SJR.B-T) or BCE (BCE-T)? He likes all 3. It really comes down to your portfolio and what else you own. These are 3 very different businesses. BCE is the most boring name and is the “Steady Eddie”. You’re getting a dividend of about 4.7%, and the stock is up about 6% this year giving you a 10% return. He would steer you more towards BCE.
