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.

This is a tough business. Packaging is a good consumer staples type of business. They do all the things right. Have a good dividend, raise it, and do share buybacks. He just can’t get past the illiquidity. Also, there has been quite a big run up on shares recently. Now trading at multiples that are on par with something like CCL Industries, which is much larger and a much more liquid company, which he would prefer.
