Great West Lifeco (GWO-T) is regarded as a solid company with a reliable track record of increasing its dividend rates. While the stock has shown strong technical performance and potential for growth, many analysts believe that its current valuation is somewhat high, making it less attractive for new purchases at this moment. The company is described as being interest rate sensitive, with dividend yields over 4%, which may appeal to income-focused investors. Comparisons with peers like MFC suggest that, despite GWO's strong fundamentals and steady earnings growth, other firms in the insurance sector might currently offer better value or growth prospects. Overall, there is a general sentiment that while GWO is a quality name, a more favorable entry point may be available in the future.
