Greg Newman Power Corp POW-T TOP PICK Apr 25, 2025

Nice fat dividend yield of almost 6%, which grows 7-8%. Solid story. He worked with the CEO years ago. IGM is doing better in the US, and GWO has always been one of the better companies. PE should rise from 8x to 10-12x when interest rates come off. Yield is 5.86%.

Trades at about a 25-30% discount to NAV. Low-risk play with upside potential.

He hasn't looked at this recently. This struggles at $42-44. Upside is limited. Be patient and buy on pullbacks.

Holding company; not strictly speaking a lifeco, though a lot of its NAV is tied up in GWO. Major investor in Wealthsimple. Multiple lines of business make it less volatile than an insurance company. Meanders along. Yield is north of 5%, growing at single digits.

Own and sleep well at night. No qualms. Capital appreciation plus dividend should throw off high single-digit or low-double returns.

Both companies have done quite well and both are cheap with secure dividends. It has been a good year for the sector but they may not get the same returns going forward.

He's a real chicken, and looking for stocks that won't hurt too much if tariffs go the wrong way. Life insurance is fairly insulated. Won out as his pick compared to MFC. Cheap at 8.6x 2025, growing 6-7%. Market thinks growth will be 12% next year. A win-by-not-losing choice. Yield is 5.5%.

Owns Mackenzie Investors Group, GWO. Investments in names like Wealthsimple and asset management. Alternative lending business. Many different ways to surface value.

Terrific FMV. Stock's at a point where it has to break out technically, but it's a story unfolding on the back of more engaged management. Big discount to book value, lots of upside. Could probably survive a Trump walloping. Nice dividend of 4.5%.

He's been buying. Great valuation, holding-company discount, decent growth rate of 6-8%. Nice dividend with a good payout ratio. Technically over its skis, but likes the name long term. Better entry at $44-45.

Only problem is that when bull markets start to give way to bear markets, people look for areas immune from tariffs. If the economy rights itself, and you see $$ going into names like tech again, this type of name will fall off. If we go into a real downturn, money will leave the market and this name will go lower along with everything else.

Great as a diversified financial. Great dividend payer and grower. Technically hanging in really well. Great long-term hold. Trading now at the 50-day MA. Yield is 5.1%.

In his dividend portfolio. NAV is around $64, so it's trading at a discount as usual. He likes that they continue to increase dividend. In current environment, asset management is more volatile but life insurance is less. Yield is ~5%.
