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.

DON'T BUY
Financials are likely to under perform for some time. There is another leg in the weakness coming.
TOP PICK
Down 17% year to date. Insurance industry has been under great pressure, mainly because of the portfolio. This company has wonderful businesses and great long-term management. It will come back. Increased their dividends by 20% last quarter, which indicates they are sure things are going to improve. 3.5% yield.
BUY
Expects money will flow into this one. Good dividend yield and great exposure to Asia and China. Very strong balance sheet. Trading at age 17% discount to its NAV.
HOLD
The underlying assets are Great West Life (GWO-T) and IGM Financial (IGM-T). In poorer markets, there is leverage on the mutual fund play. Great West reported the best numbers of the three Canadian life insurance companies but market concentrates on the Putnam group in the US. It will be fine.
BUY
Came up quite a bit like many financials. Very well run. Have made some very astute acquisitions over the years. Have grown their asset management business. The US Putnam acquisition was very astute and will pay off longer term.
DON'T BUY
The main driver here is Power Financial (PWF-T) and its driver is Great West Life (GWO-T). So you really have to look at Great West to move Power Financial to move this stock. As a holding company, it tends to trade at a discount to NAV. Not representing a special buying opportunity at this time.
TRADE
Has certainly fallen back, with some of their assets being exposed to the financial sector. At this stage is "overdone"
TOP PICK
Had terrific earnings in last quarter. Worth the risk.
BUY
Long-term it is one of the best financial stocks to own. 2 main businesses, life insurance including Great West Life (GWO-T), London life and Canada life and the investment fund business including Investors Group (IGM-T) and Mackenzie. Being hurt because it is in the financial area. Long-term prospects are fabulous. Conservatively run.
BUY
Concern here is that insurance companies are huge holders of bonds, mortgage pools and related instruments. With the turmoil in the credit market people don't know what you might find in the books of a Great West Life (GWO-T) for example. Also, people are concerned with the stock market in the doldrums. He feels the stock is way oversold. Good buy at this price.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) By it long-term as it is a great way to play the underlying companies.
BUY
Good long-term value at this price.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick July 27/06. Up 30%.) Had been under priced. Still at a bit of a discount to its net asset value.
BUY
Is dominated by Power Financial. He owns Power Financial, because the earnings are identical, it's just a little cheaper. Both are very good companies. Next generation of management in in place. Will go from the $250 level to $280 in the coming year and $350 the following year.
BUY
He owns power financial which is similar. They just bought Putnam in the US, which is just now showing signs of turning. A "no-brainer" for long term investors.
