DH CorporationDH.TOBUY ON WEAKNESSFeb 27, 2014Stock price when the opinion was issued
He bought more when it fell because it was massively discounted. Also, management gave very poor guidance about what was happening to a lot of their businesses. Feels their core businesses really has good opportunities on the FinTech side, in the US specifically, and the stock can slowly go up. Pays a decent yield.
He bought more when it fell after earnings came out last quarter. Hopefully this quarter they get some of the business from the RFPs they put out previously. Over the next couple of quarters you will see some changes in the company. The dividend is reasonable and he was glad they cut it. There is opportunity for the stock to go up from here.
In December, he upgraded this to a sector outperform again. Private equity was approaching them to possibly pick apart part of the business. A very cheap FinTech play. He can understand why the stock cratered. Their US lending business will pick up, and he doesn’t think the Canadian business is declining as fast as we saw last quarter.
An interesting company that used to make cheques but now is an IT company for banks. They acquired heartland in the US which will be the core driving the company in the next few years. The US is more fragmented on the banking side so there is more opportunity for them there. They are executing well on that acquisition and he thinks there will be more tuckins in the next little while. Good dividend yield but it may not rise for a while. There is lots of opportunity for the company to grow.
