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.
Had owned this in the past. The stock had a pretty dramatic drop today. He has always had a lot of respect for management. As cheque writing started to decline, they got into the electronic business. They’ve had some hiccups here. At this point, he would probably just want to watch. It would mean giving up some returns, but he would like to see the next quarter turn around and that the worst is behind them.
