This summary was created by AI, based on 21 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

BAM,A
BUY
Likes this for playing Canadian financials. Pulled back because earnings on the Power Corp side was a little bit weak but this is a shorter term issue.
BUY
Holding company for Great West Life (GWO-T), London Life, Canada Life and IGM Investors Group. Likes to buy assets at a discount to their underlying value and this gives you a holding company discount.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 10/08. Down 25%.) Got the whammy of the IGM Investors Group (IGM-T) not being able to sell mutual funds for 6 months and insurance companies taking hits on their portfolios. Both of those segments are coming back. Terrific track record of growth and dividends.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 18/08. Down 40.8%.) Reported pretty nice earnings today.
COMMENT
Will be one of the ones he will be adding when he decides to build up exposure to financials. Owns Great West Life (GWO-T) and IGM Investors Group. If you think this market is about to turn, one of the areas you want to be in is asset management because as markets rise, fees go up.
WAIT
There's a lot of pressure on the lifeco’s right now. Questions around their capital ratios and their ability to pay on some of the products they have sold. Hitting new 52-week lows.
BUY
Looking at this one. Has a really good dividend. Trading at about 18% discount to its NAV. Has an excellent record of dealing well in difficult economic times. Good assets.
DON'T BUY
Holding company for Great West Life (GWO-T), London Life, Canada Life and IGM Investors Group. Suffered along with other financials. Well managed. When things get better, it will be a good one for financials. You don't have to rush to buy this.
WEAK BUY
(Market Call Minute.) One of the few financial stocks that has above average characteristics. Might buy if you're looking for a rebound in that area.
TOP PICK
Life insurance and mutual funds (through the Investors Group). A financial that has suffered tremendously. Doesn't think there is any prospect that the company will cut the dividend. Thinks earnings will be better than expected.
TOP PICK
Chief assets are Investors Group (IGM-T) and Great West Life (GWO-T). There has been no news from Great West of any write-offs. Investors Group has been hit by the downturn in the market but well positioned to benefit on the bounce back.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Used to be one of his favourites. Got caught in the tremendous downdraft with the rest of the financials. Long-term history is excellent.
TOP PICK
Very high-quality company. As insurance companies, Investors Group, interests in Europe. All it does is make money and pay dividends. Stock has gone down because people are worried about the insurers and their bond holdings. Thinks Investors Group will snap back in the 2nd half of the year.
DON'T BUY
The whole of the financial sector is facing a big challenge going forward because of the subprime crisis in the US. Expect the company will do well over the next few years but can't see strong profit growth.
COMMENT
Parent company of IGM Financial (IGM-T), which would be his favourite in this group.
