The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) goeasy GSY-T TOP PICK Nov 14, 2024

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Following recently released earnings showing a 26% increase in operating earnings and a 16% increase in loan originations, we reiterate the leader in Canadian sub-prime loans as a TOP PICK.  It currently trades at 11x earnings, 2.5x book value and supports a 25% ROE.  We note that their debt is rising modestly, so we recommend trailing up the stop (from $150) to $165, looking to achieve $235 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 2.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $235.56)
$174.150

Spin out from Accrete Energy (GZ-T). Quite small so conflicts with his view of sticking with good liquid stocks and strong balance sheets. Great asset base. Maybe would have been the ideal model 2 years ago before trusts became taxable. Big test will be how they do under the new scenario.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Very small Junior that goes into the exploration part of your portfolio. Expects good tremendous growth over the next year.
