What the experts are saying about MFC-T

Signal	Opinion	Expert
BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) December 11, 2018 The lifecos are attractive after this correction. Solid businesses. SLF has a big U.S. asset management operation. But she prefers (and owns) MFC which has a better valuation. In the past. SLF's earnings have outgrown MFC's, but MFC's should outpace SLF's going forward. MFC trades at a discount to SLF. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	The lifecos are attractive after this correction. Solid businesses. SLF has a big U.S. asset management operation.

BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) December 10, 2018 Still a buy despite the legal challenge? He lends no credence to this case. Any court will side with MFC, given the law. The case is not a headwind--look past it. MFC is very well-managed. They've turned around since cutting their dividend during the Recession a decade ago. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Still a buy despite the legal challenge? He lends no credence to this case.

WAIT	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 21, 2018 They hired a new CEO in the last 12 months. They want to grow the wealth management business. There was a short report on them a couple of weeks ago. They are doing a good job and he likes the direction they are going. They are looking at cost savings and driving efficiencies. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	They hired a new CEO in the last 12 months. They want to grow the wealth management business.

BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 21, 2018 vs. Sunlife Q3 beat--earnings were way up. Double-digit growth in the US. Asia operations were a lower weak. 4% EPS growth only. Pricey vs. peers. Manulife has a better growth rate, and he prefers MFC. The lawsuit they face--MFC will be okay. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	vs. Sunlife Q3 beat--earnings were way up.

DON'T BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 20, 2018 Earnings looked good. They freed up capital for buybacks. Interest rate hikes are positive, but might take time to come through. Product sales are good in Asia, so fundamentally in good shape. Overhang of US lawsuits, which will go on for a while. Negative Canadian bias from outside of Canada. Stock won’t move until things get cleaned up. Prefers the banks. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Earnings looked good. They freed up capital for buybacks.

PAST TOP PICK	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 15, 2018 (A Top Pick Aug 16/18, Down 10%) MFC will survive the legal issue in respect to the hedge fund report. It's an extremely strong company. Likes it, though he isn't adding to it now. It's suffering with its Asian operations because of US-China trade tensions. Those will lift, then we'll see growth in MFC's Asian operations. Look beyond the headlines, which can make an erratic ride. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	(A Top Pick Aug 16/18, Down 10%) MFC will survive the legal issue in respect to the hedge fund report.

WEAK BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 8, 2018 He has SLF-T and two US lifecos. He avoided MFC-T because of legacy products that he had issues with, as well as legacy acquisitions. They are starting to address them one at a time. He likes lifecos but you could own this one. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He has SLF-T and two US lifecos.

DON'T BUY	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 7, 2018 Owns SunLife instead. Interest rates are rising and pressuring these stocks. He likes MFC's exposure to Asia, which will help them long term. But MFC has been sideways. He needs to see MFC to rise far above its 200-day moving average before stepping in. Pays a 4.7% dividend, but little dividend growth. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	Owns SunLife instead. Interest rates are rising and pressuring these stocks.

TOP PICK	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) November 5, 2018 It ran into a short-seller and a lawsuit, but the courts have since sided with MFC. The short-seller was taking advantage in MFC and they appear to have been beaten back. MFC itself has been beaten down and is now swinging back, so buy this now. 4.6% dividend.

COMMENT	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) October 31, 2018 He doesn't know what the odds are of MFC winning this lawsuit that a hedge fund has trumpeted, but the case is a huge cloud. Rising interest rates will benefit all insurance companies whose stock prices haven't moved much but are paying fat dividend yields. MFC pays a 4.2% dividend. Maybe MFC isn't his top idea in this sector, but the problem with all the insurance companies is that they have so many policies with many many details--it's opaque, so what do they mean? And this has led to this lawsuit. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	He doesn't know what the odds are of MFC winning this lawsuit that a hedge fund has trumpeted, but the case is a huge cloud.

WATCH	Manulife Financial(MFC-T) October 29, 2018 It's been hammered because of this lawsuit and report by a short-seller. Normally this would be a buy based on valuation. There's a tiny chance that MFC will lose this case. That said, he'll wait for the decision before buying this. The judgement may pass in late-2018 or early-2019. insurance 0 0 0 0 0 0 comments	It's been hammered because of this lawsuit and report by a short-seller.
