This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Western Union Co. (WU-N) has seen a fluctuation in its stock price, currently stabilizing between $8 and $10, suggesting a potential for growth as it is inching upwards. Analysts emphasize the importance of surpassing the previous high of $9.50 to confirm a trend reversal. The stock comes with a compelling dividend yield of over 10%, attracting those seeking stable income, especially for Canadian investors using tax-advantaged accounts like RRSP. However, there are significant concerns regarding its earnings power and the potential impact of emerging technologies, particularly AI, on profitability. Despite these challenges, the stock's low PE ratio of ~5x and a projected ROE of 43% contribute to a rather positive outlook, igniting hope for substantial upside potential if it maintains its current support levels.

COMMENT

Hadn't looked at this one in detail before but on the surface, it looks very, very interesting. Trading at its lowest multiple since it was spun out 5 years ago at 11X this year's and10X next year's.

TOP PICK

If you don't have a strong 19 relationship and you need to move money in small sums, this is the way you do it. Extremely well managed.

BUY

Great little company, spin off from EDP. Simple story. People need to send out wires. They deal with a large immigrant population. He likes the business model. They generate a lot of returns and it is a growing industry.

TOP PICK

Rapidly growing business. They are all about transfer of money. Well positioned to capitalized upon the core of eCommerce. Less repatriation of money. Much of business involves people working abroad and sending money back.

DON'T BUY

No mis-pricing here. His model price is $8.43. A negative 59% differential. Basically have no equity and the business requires little to no capital. There is no balance sheet there to really protect them.

BUY

Banks offer the same services, so there is a lot of competition. If they can open up faster than the Banks, this will allow them to compete.

BUY

Probably worth looking at. Has a very unique franchise with the remittance of money globally. Good potential for growth. Great brand name. Limited competition.

TOP PICK

This is a play on globalization. When people move around, they have to move cash around. Operate in over 200 countries. A high margin business.

DON'T BUY

A relatively new spin-off. Trades at about 15 X cash flow, relatively inexpensive compared to its competitors. In the last 2-3 months, we have had a strong market and this company has not participated. In a weakening market, the under performers are the first to get hit.
