Power Corp (POW-T) has garnered mixed reviews from various experts in the investment community, highlighting a blend of positive growth potential but also some concerns regarding its valuation. Several analysts note the company's strong performance over the past few years, supported by a solid dividend yield and growth in its main assets, such as Great-West Life and Investors Group. However, there is a consensus that the stock is currently seen as somewhat expensive, especially when compared to historical price-to-book ratios and the overall market landscape. Some experts recommend waiting for a pullback to enter the stock, while others suggest nibbling on shares for long-term gains. The general sentiment indicates a stable investment with reasonable upside, but caution is advised due to its potentially elevated valuation at this time.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) The operating subs are doing well.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 7/12. Up 20.64%.) Sold his holdings at $27 for a 13% gain plus the 5% yield.

SELL

Sold a week ago. Looks like we will be bound by the resistance from 2011. He would like it to break out before going in. Must go above $32.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 15/12. Up .02%.) With Great West Life’s (GWO-T) acquisition of Irish Life, this should add 10% to GWO’s earnings from next year, then we could start to see some substantial movement in this companies earnings.

COMMENT

Power Corp (POW-T) or Power Financial (PWF-T)? Likes both of them. Tends to invest in Power Financial because of a somewhat higher dividend. If the European situation settled out, this one could perform better. If you want to take a chance on a little more on the growth, buy this one.

WEAK BUY

Had a pretty good quarter last quarter but a lot of that came from a US investment firm they have. Operating EPS is down a bit. Currently fairly valued. 4.8% dividend.

HOLD

Good conservative management and balance sheets. Good dividends. Does have some exposure to Europe.

TOP PICK

Cheap on a price to book basis. Balance sheet has grown very nicely. A fairly diversified kind of financial company. Has a nice dividend of 4.9%.

HOLD

Had some positive results from some US holdings. Operating earnings were down primarily because of what they were accounting for in Power Financial (PWF-T). He would prefer Power Financial (PWF-T) but he wouldn’t be selling either one of them at these prices.

BUY

Power fin and/or power corp., depending on fund. This one gives you better value on a historical basis.

BUY
Good safe dividend with good coverage when you look at their earnings. Well-managed. Likes this better than the banks.
COMMENT
Components are basically Power Financial (PWF-T) and behind that Investors Group and Great West Life (GWO-T). The latter 2 have some challenges. He looks at this as a straight up dividend yield story. Yield of about 4.5%.
HOLD
This is like a holding company and you almost have to know how their different holdings are going to do. Feels the dividend is relatively safe.
COMMENT
There is not a lot of growth in the underlying constituents. In the context of large-cap financials, there are better, more exciting companies to go into. He would be more inclined to go into a high-quality bank.
HOLD
Well-managed. They typically increase their dividend 5%-8%. Some of their financial services holdings are not doing too well. Has historically been a dividend grower.
