Lincoln National Corp. (LNC-N) has experienced some fluctuations in its stock performance due to changes in leadership and economic conditions, particularly following a spike in interest rates that affected its capital ratios. This has led to a decline in share prices during 2022, but the company has been working on building its capital base since then. Currently, the stock is trading at a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 5-6x, which is attractive in comparison to its historical performance. With a dividend yield of 5.6% and a book value of $47 while shares are below $32, Lincoln National presents an appealing investment opportunity. Analysts believe that the company is likely to raise its dividend and engage in share buybacks, further enhancing its value proposition for investors.

TOP PICK

They changed CEOs a few years ago. The spike in interest rates unsettled their capital ratios, so shares slid in 2022, but they've been building their capital. Are in a steady eddy business, at a 5-6x PE and pays a 5.6% dividend. Has a book value of $47 (shares are below $32). Has recurring cash flow and a great brand. He expects them to raise the dividend and buy back shares.

(Analysts’ price target is $36.46)
DON'T BUY

The dividend is too high and the PE too low.

BUY
It hasn't sold off that much and enjoys a lot of management insider buying.
COMMENT

This insurance company is well known for annuities and life protection products. It has a cheap valuation and should benefit from rising interest rates as premiums can be invested at better values. They have a hard time distinguishing themselves in a competitive market.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 9/16, Up 17%) She continues to buy it. The story is intact for rising interest rates and lower regulation. They are well positioned to do meaningfully better going forward.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 26/15. Up 24.97%.) A life insurer and she had the feeling that it was unloved. It was a value purchase. Moving forward, the fundamentals are still clear. Thinks there is good upside over the next several years.

TOP PICK

This is still on her buying list, and one that she thinks has great upside to go.

TOP PICK

She thinks there is interest in the life and integrated area. In the US there is the department of labour (DOL) ruling and this stock is immune to this ruling. They are well capitalized. It came down with the industry. There is interesting upside going forward.

COMMENT

Prefers Met Life (MET-N), but for similar reasons likes this as well. Likes Met Life’s international assets, most of which are growing faster than the core American business. Doesn’t expect a share buy back.

HOLD

Well-run bank. All of the banks had a big run off the bottom, and are all trading at around 7 or 8 times earnings and all represent very good value. There has been a little bit of a concern recently that the housing market is slowing down a little. We are still building things sub the demo graphic requirement so he wouldn’t be overly worried about the housing market.

TOP PICK
Insurance company heavily involved in the annuity business for retirees. US baby boom hit 62 in January/07 and many people are considering retirement.
TOP PICK
Should do well if Kerry wins the election.
