Definity Financial (DFY-T) has received a series of positive evaluations from multiple experts, with most highlighting its solid performance and growth potential within the property and casualty insurance sector. Notably, the stock has shown varying degrees of appreciation since it was last identified as a Top Pick, with gains substantially surpassing 50% in many reviews. Analysts emphasize the disciplined approach to trailing stops as a strategy to maximize gains while mitigating risks, given the current market dynamics and inherent uncertainties tied to climate-related challenges. Comparisons with its main competitor, Intact Financial Corporation (IFC), have underscored DFY's potential in an industry that is increasingly consolidating, leading to expectations that DFY could capitalize on acquisition opportunities. Despite some concerns regarding valuation and external risks, the overall sentiment remains optimistic as long as the stock is approached with careful portfolio considerations.
Depends on what percentage it makes of your portfolio, plus what your cost base is. #1 competitor to DFY is IFC. The industry is consolidating more. DFY might have a leg up on IFC, as DFY is smaller and can buy a few more things in Canada.
Cost inflation and extreme weather give him pause in this area. Both well-run businesses, but inclined to stay away. The sector poses some risks.
Very strong results recently. Premiums more than covered expenses. Raised dividend by 16%. Now allowed to lever balance sheet to make acquisitions. Growing faster than IFC, which is #1 in Canada. Trades at big discount (1.8x book value) to IFC (2.8x). Really good upside.
Swiss Reinsurance just purchased 10% of company. Possible creeping takeover? DFY is either going to make acquisitions or be acquired. Good time to buy.
