DH CorporationDH.TODON'T BUYMay 31, 2016Stock 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.
Think you need to be a little fearful of this. A month ago a Short report came out. They are often wrong or right. Today there was a pretty bad report coming out from a brokerage house going from a Buy to a Sell. In the last quarter, they missed the top line and margins contracted. If you are in a business where you are not making your revenue numbers and your margins are contracting, it means there is something wrong on the underlying business.
