Manulife Financial (MFC) is viewed positively by several analysts, who note its solid growth in Asia and the wealth management sector. The company is seen as a stable and reliable option, with a decent dividend yield that appeals to income-focused investors. Analysts acknowledge that while MFC has experienced some recent challenges, especially in its U.S. operations and corrections after strong performances, it maintains a healthy growth outlook. Concerns about the overall market and macroeconomic factors have led to suggestions of caution, but many believe MFC's valuation is still attractive relative to its peers, particularly the banks. In the long term, it remains a compelling investment opportunity with the potential for growth, other factors such as credit risk being minimal.

SLF

STRONG BUY

5% pullback on perceived disappointing earnings is an opportunity to buy. A world class company. Could be a crossover merger with a bank in the future. Should continue having a 15% growth.

BUY

A good growth strategy, especialyy their John Hancock acquisition. Great international operation out of Asia.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 27/04. Up 10%.) The premier of financial service companies in Canada. Still has further to go.

WAIT

Life insurance companies have been hit because of an announcement of an investigation. A great company.

DON'T BUY

A great business at a fair price. Around 15 X this year's earnings. Wouldn't buy at this price.

BUY

Will buy if it drops a little.

BUY

Outlook continues to be good for the life insurance companies. Manulife and Power Financial are his favourites in non-bank financials..

TOP PICK

Well diversified globally. Japan's operation is now profitable and growing rapidly. Excellant management. John Hancock acquisition was a good move.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

World class company. Steady grower which has accelerated through their acquisition of John Hancock. May be a little extended and could pull back a little. A long term hold.

HOLD

Stay with this company. Going to be more upside.

BUY

A quality company. Well diversified. A buy and hold stock.

STRONG BUY

Hancock aquisition is going to be very positive. Likes the US exposure. Could be a 8/10% annual return not including the dividend.

BUY

Probably the best management of any of the life companies in Canada. The John Hancock deal is playing out pretty well. Like their prospects in Asia.

BUY

Prefers over Sun Life at these prices. Have had decent enough results.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past top pick May 18/04. Up 6%.) Earnings were right in line with estimates. Raised the dividend. Would buy around $51.
