Laurentian Bank (LB-T)
May 4, 2021
He owns this for income. This is THE turnaround play in Canadian banking. It has a new female CEO of colour, so kudos to them. He expects her to close the productivity gap in core deposit and lending, building out the fledgling securities business and diversifying beyond Quebec. If she succeeds, the stock will turnaround. It's rate a Canadian bank install an outsider, but it speaks to their need for change. (Analysts’ price target is $40.90)

An outlier in Canadian banking, a small regional player. They're cleaning house among management and trimming costs, but that's tricky because they're hemmed into one region, Quebec. LB is trying to go entirely virtual; LB has a lot of physical branches and moving hard to virtual. This dramatic change has effected their business. New managers will have to face these challenges. Unsure if LB can grow earnings; has limited growth prospects. They have lowered costs and stabilized business. Not his preferred bank stock.

Other banks have better potential. LB is undergoing a big shift with a new CEO and strategy. So far, the market likes what it sees. Long term. LB could be a contender. That said, he prefers other banks.

The dividend is probably safe. The Canadian and US banks are so cheap and out of favour that there is a lot of value to be had, but the discount on this one is not that substantial.

Stock is cheap, but whether it represents value is another question. There are safer and better ways to get a 5% yield, with the prospect of growing it. Small, weak, poorly operated, regional play.

Thoroughly beaten up. Selling at beautiful discount to book value. Expecting rising earnings from banks in general as reserve requirements end. Hypervalue stock compared to the rest of the banks, so it has more leverage in a recovery. Decent dividend. Yield is 5.20%. (Analysts’ price target is $29.67)

It is the only unionized bank in North America. That is why it remains independent. They will struggle to get scale and as a result they have cut the dividend. There are better opportunities out there.

You have to question everything including the possibility of anyone cutting the dividend back. He thinks they will come through this and thrive. He would look at buying a basket of the larger banks for the security of more diversified operations.

Challenged, as it's a smaller bank and has to compete with the larger ones. Transition period right now. In the short-term, deposits are flat and loan books are down. Instead, look at the other six. Payout ratio is as high as it can go. Yield is 6%.

It was the cheapest bank out there, but other banks' valuations have come down, so LB isn't as cheap anymore. LB can't expand; they don't have a national footprint. He doesn't own banks now, but would rank LB down the list. TD is his choice in this sector.

He has three of the larger Canadian banks. They have been a perennial laggard in terms of return on equity. The dividend grows more slowly than other banks and so the illusion of higher yield is tantalizing. He thinks you can do better elsewhere in the financial sector.

December 23, 2019
Canadian Banks He owns Laurentian bank and is holding it for the dividends. In a recession, he expects the Canadian banking sector will get killed. He would likely move to holding the preferreds as he expects a recession by 2021 as it will be safer. You might do better looking into European banks that could create better capital appreciation and dividends. Taking some money off the table, early in the New Year, would make sense. He would be cautious about shorting any Canadian banks as you have to cover the dividends.

(A Top Pick Jul 27/17, Down 6%) They're transitioning as they invest a lot in tech to optimize the bank. The dividend is safe. But it'll take several quarters before seeing the benefits of optimizing. The toughest part is behind them (closing branches), so expect a better share price ahead.
