Our PAST TOP PICK with GSY has triggered its stop at $165.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  Combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment loss of 7%.

HOLD

One of the best compounders in Canada. Tremendous management team, confident they'll find a capable CEO. Very strong operations. Organic growth rate has been good. Undemanding valuation. Well-developed risk management. Good hold for years to come.

SELL

Alternative lender. Headwind in Canada because of interest rate it's allowed to charge on loans, but those issues are mostly in the past. Instead, he's recently been buying PRL.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Following recently released earnings showing a 26% increase in operating earnings and a 16% increase in loan originations, we reiterate the leader in Canadian sub-prime loans as a TOP PICK.  It currently trades at 11x earnings, 2.5x book value and supports a 25% ROE.  We note that their debt is rising modestly, so we recommend trailing up the stop (from $150) to $165, looking to achieve $235 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 2.5%

(Analysts’ price target is $235.56)

WATCH

The banks lending Canadian lending, but forces like immigration favour companies like this. But their CEO left suddenly. It's been a nice bet for 15 as rates declined, but now now. Wait and see. Don't sell, but it could be a buy. It will be choppy.

BUY

Management issues a concern, but company very strong. Credit lending very good. Earnings expected to grow. Price to growth very good. Would recommend buying.

TOP PICK
goeasy

Long time investor. Has owned for over 10 years. Recent share price weakness a good time to buy. Market has oversold some of the recent  announcements. Expecting loan book to grow to $6 billion. $30/share earnings not out of the question. A 6x earnings multiple would imply a ~$180 share price.

COMMENT

It is a non-bank credit company. If you're looking for a specialty finance company there are a number of larger more mature ones out there. This one has too much volatility for him.

TOP PICK

As one of Canada's leading non-prime lenders to consumers, we reiterate GSY as a TOP PICK.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired.  It trades at 12x earnings, 2.6x book and supports a ROE of 25%.  Recently reported Q2 earnings set a record for the company as credit applications rose 34%.  It's dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow.  We recommend maintaining a stop at $150, looking to achieve $227 -- upside potential of 27%.  Yield 2.4%

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 02/24, Up 21%)

Continues to be a super-strong company. In the face of uncertainty and adversity, continues to move higher. Earnings and dividend continue to grow. One concern is what happens if there's a significant slowdown, (as lots of their loans are unsecured)? Loan loss numbers just get better and better.

BUY

Record results today, revised guidance higher, yet stock's down.

Robust cashflow, consistent revenue growth. Company looks pretty strong. He'd like to see it demonstrate consistent earnings growth; if it did, he'd move it from Buy to Strong Buy. Don't let short-term performance dissuade you on this one.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

GSY posted EPS of $4.1 vs $4.03 expected. Revenues were $378 mln vs $373 mln expected. Revenue view for the full year looks in line with expectations as well with the longer-term growth guidance increased. Revenue and EPS were up 25% and loan growth was up 37%. Overall we don't see a whole lot to pick on here.

TOP PICK

Also safe and steady and undervalued is this lender. It trades at 13.75x PE, slightly higher than its historic average of 12.03x, but below the industry's 15x. GSY pays a 2.33% dividend yield at a low 27.24% payout ratio. The beta, though, is a tad high at 1.93, while shares have rallied about 30% this year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The greater the base, the better the case. Once you get a breakout from a long base, it's good news. From chart, might be coming into a level of resistance seen in 2021. May pause and retrace closer to 200-day MA, but if it breaks through, more upside. Overall, looks pretty good.

Financial Services
BUY
goeasy

Very good business - one of top holdings. One of the best financial companies in Canada. Consistent return on capital. Trades at single digit multiple. Safe dividend that is healthy. Recent CEO change a surprise - but not a concern (will continue to own shares). Has been adding new business lines to the company which will generate more profits.
