Premium contentOur PAST TOP PICK with RPI.UN has triggered its stop at $31. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with our previous buy recommendation, this will result in a net investment loss of 10%.
Premium contentWe reiterate RPI.UN, the third largest packaging company in North America, as a TOP PICK. Management has dealt with industry challenges while continuing to grow cash reserves and retiring debt. Its dividend is maintained by a payout ratio under 50% of free cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $29.50) to $31.00, looking to achieve $46.00 -- upside potential of 33%. Yield 3.7%
(Analysts’ price target is $46.50)Premium contentRPI.UN is the third largest packaging company in North America. Although segments of their business have been challenged during the pandemic, the company has been prudently reducing debt through working capital leaving cash reserves in a good position. Its dividend is maintained by a payout ratio under 50% of free cash flow. We recommend placing a stop-loss at $29.50, looking to achieve $46.00 -- upside potential of 34%. Yield 3.8%
(Analysts’ price target is $46.50)They got a boost during Covid so it would have been good to take profits then. Now, they face inflationary pressures. They're expanding geographically through acquisitions. Pays a decent dividend. Still likes it.

A boring, simple, easy to understand business. Distributes rigid packaging products. Largest in Canada and 3rd largest in North America. A lot of the products on grocery store shelves are distributed by this company. Also, they do things in the pharmaceutical/health care industry. Generates a lot of free cash flow. Trading at a discounted valuation. Pays a monthly dividend which equates to slightly over a 6% annual yield, which is very stable. At some point, it could even be a takeout target. Their largest competitor, Berlin Packaging, was recently bought at 14X enterprise value to EBITDA, and this one just trades at slightly over 8X.
