Sun Life Financial Inc (SLF) is presently facing a challenging landscape, with mixed reviews from experts highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the company. Some analysts praise its strong management and growth potential in Asia, particularly in asset management, whereas others express concerns regarding its performance in the U.S. dental market and overall growth, particularly as compared to peers like Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC). Despite trading at a lower P/E ratio compared to Canadian banks, some experts argue that the stock's current valuation isn't compelling given the subdued growth prospects. However, SLF is recognized for its consistent dividend growth and stable earnings, and the recent share repurchases are seen as a positive move. Analysts are divided, with some asserting a long-term bullish outlook while others remain cautious pending macroeconomic or company-specific catalysts.

DON'T BUY

Earnings were slightly better than expected. Has a concern on the fallout from the US mutual fund scandal. Well positioned in Asia and Canada. Feels there are better opportunities.

BUY

Good company, but prefers Manulife which has a little bit better growth rate. Trading close to its highs.

BUY

Sees tough sledding for banks growth, so prefers life companies. Likes their Asian exposure where sales are growing at a very heavy rate.

Probably their favourite lifeco in Canada. Will probably go on the acquisition trail in the US.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 12/04. Up 10%.) Still likes. Undervalued and cheap.

Outlook continues to be good for the life insurance companies. Their US mutual funds ran into some problems, but that has been settled. A buy, but Manulife and Power Financial are his favourites.

BUY

Technicals favour the financials at this time. Will probably make new highs.
