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.

MFC

BUY

A good company. Like most of the insurance companies right now.

BUY

Life companies are good for core holdings. A good company.

HOLD

Likes it for the long term. Prefers Manulife.

BUY

Likes.

WAIT

Likes the insurers in general. Have full confidence in the management, but wait to see what happens regarding the SEC civil action.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has really good technical structure. May by reaching a resistance level. Buy on any dip below $30/29.

PAST TOP PICK

(A past top pick Sept 26/03. Up 7.3%.)News out of the US has put a damper on the stock bringing it into more interesting ranges. A good long-term play.

BUY

Controversy on their US mutual fund assets has held the price down. Probably a good time to get in. Has successfully integrated their acquisition Clarica. 2.2% dividend yield.

BUY

Prefers this and Industrial Alliance over other insurance companies. Leverage to capital markets through mutual funds.

DON'T BUY

Likes the prospects for long-term. Good business strategy. In the intermediate term, from a fair market value view, is pretty fully priced. Would have to be substantially lower before buying.

BUY

Not a bad stock. Prefers ManuLife.

DON'T BUY

Expect this stock to stay quiet for a time. Good company. Well run.

BUY

Likes the prospect for this company. Has been very astute in turning their assets and growing them. Valuation looks OK.

TOP PICK

Prefers Lifecos to banks because they have more to gain from strong capital markets. Financials are a good place to be in the event the market hits some headwinds.

DON'T BUY

Well-positioned in the Canadian market and looking to grow through US acquisitions. Prefers banks in the financial sector.
