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)Premium contentWe reiterate RPI.UN, the third largest packaging company in North America, as a TOP PICK.

(Analysts’ price target is $46.50)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%.
(A Top Pick June 12/15. Up 66.05%.) Despite the stock being up, it is probably still no more expensive, from a valuation standpoint, than it was a year ago. Earnings have grown and the cash flow has grown significantly. Have made some acquisitions. Pays a nice dividend. Management owns a significant stake. Dividend yield of 4.4%.
