Sun Life Financial Inc. (SLF) has seen a recent rally, benefiting from its exposure to the money management sector and long-lived liabilities, particularly in a falling interest rate environment. However, experts express caution over its venture into private credit, a domain that has faced some losses. Compared to Canadian banks, SLF is trading at a lower price-to-earnings ratio, but growth appears modest, particularly in sectors like dental in the U.S. and asset management in Canada. Despite past challenges relative to peers like Manulife Financial, experts indicate that SLF remains a solid long-term investment, bolstered by positive changes and strong returns on equity. Overall, experts are divided, with some seeing it as a steady hold, while others suggest a more cautious approach until clearer signals emerge.

BUY

Insurance companies are good for long term holds. Yield is extremely low and expects there will be increases in dividends over the next 2/3 years.

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.

BUY

PAST TOP PICK
