DH CorporationDH.TOBUY ON WEAKNESSOct 30, 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.
A great little company. Cheques are a very small part of their business now. In his view, they are effectively a financial technology company. Made a large acquisition in the US that is going really well and is changing the company. It is becoming more and more of a US company because there are many more banks in the US than in Canada. It has run up a lot, so he would look for a slight pullback. Nice dividend yield and they keep increasing their dividends all the time. Thinks they will take a break from this for the next little while as they want to pay down some debt.
