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.

SELL
There are some really interesting assets here, but profit growth is weak and it looks a little expensive. The deterioration of Great West (GWO-T) profit growth concerns him.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 15/06. Up 2.3%.) Thinks the market is still a little concerned about the turnover of control with Demarais Sr. Still likes.
TOP PICK
A compelling value. Buying $1 value of the underlying companies for $.75. Pays a dividend. Safe.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 15/06. Up 2%.) Thinks it has probably bottomed. Not a bad yield. Unwinding their European situation and will be coming into a lot of cash and will be very liquid.
BUY
Has treaded water for the past 2 years because of earnings problems in 02/03. However, the outlook for their 2 largest subsidiaries, Great West Life (GWO-T) and Investors Group (IGM-T) is quite good. Trading at a good multiple.
BUY
A diversified financial company has delivered reasonable returns and growth. Management changeover coming, but he does not see an issue with this. Excellent long-term company.
BUY
A conglomerate which trades at a discount to its net asset value. Likes the dividend and the fact that it keeps going up. Buy this for the yield and the increase in yield.
BUY
Likes its underlying subsidiaries. Great West Life has lagged the other insurance companies because of a slower earnings growth. Has a great long-term record. A reasonably defensive investment. It’s Great West and IGM interest sensitive.
TOP PICK
Holds a lot of very, very good assets. Has some assets in Europe that have been liquidated, which is good. Stock has come down. 2.6% yield. Suspects they will be doing something interesting in terms of acquisitions in the next little while.
TOP PICK
An excellent allocation of capital. Key assest are Great West Life, and Investors Group. Hasn't performed well over the last 12 months, but looking at the dividend yield, thinks it will perform well in the future. They bought on Mar 14th at $31.46, as 4% of their portfolio. (heavily invested). The biggest risk is on the insurance side, if significant losses, or if interest rates plummet to extremely low levels.
BUY
Power Corp is a cheaper way to get into financial services. Sometimes it is better growth than the financial services. He thinks it is a well run business and very respected and opportunistic and a nice little dividend. He owns a lot of Power Financial which is a kin to Power Corp
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 6/05 No change.) A terrific buy at this price. Probably trading at about 70% of the value of its assets.
HOLD
Would prefer Power Financial (PWF-T).
DON'T BUY
If you are going to have an investment in a large diversified financial company, this one is a very well run business. He has some concerns on financial stocks in general. Doesn't feel it's time to buy financial stocks.
BUY
A good holding for a long term investor.
