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.

BUY
Fairly large US business, so there is a currency impact. Large player in the US mutual fund business. Canadian operations are good. A solid company.
BUY
Because of their global holdings, currency changes is not an issue.
DON'T BUY
Insurance companies have substantial US operations, so strong Canadian dollar could have an impact on their operations.
DON'T BUY
Fully priced now.
BUY
HOLD
A blue chip stock.
HOLD
Good assets. Buy under $25. Will be treading water in the next little while.
DON'T BUY
Fair market value is $22, so running ahead of itself. Running into technical resistance at $32/33, so rally could move it up temporarily.
BUY
Has had a pretty good move. Valuation looks good.
HOLD
TOP PICK
In a "buy-back" program. A solid blue chip stock.
