Power Corp (POW-T) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a company with solid fundamentals but recent pricing concerns. Many analysts highlight its strong growth potential, driven by its holdings in companies like Great-West Life and Wealthsimple, suggesting an ability to expand its dividends and overall return. The stock is trading at a forward PE ratio of around 11x, attracting attention for its dividend yield, yet some experts caution that it appears a bit pricey at current levels. Despite recent pullbacks, experts see potential for optimistic long-term growth, coupled with a recommendation to wait for a more favorable price point for new investments. Overall, while some recommend holding existing positions, there is a consensus to be cautious about entering at the current valuation.

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.
TOP PICK
Preferred G Series, 5.6%. Perpetual straight Preferred with a call date of Apr 15, 2021. Has an earlier call at 2017 at $26, which will drop by $0.25 to $25 by 2021. Good solid holding company with some good brand names like Great West Life and IMG Financial.
TOP PICK
This is the cheap way into Power Financial, Investor’s Group, Great West Life and others. It has gone nowhere so will be a beneficiary of the improving outlook for Great West and Investors. Should see some dividend increases - 4.3% now.
