This summary was created by AI, based on 20 opinions in the last 12 months.
Power Corp (POW-T) is generally viewed positively by experts, with many noting its strong fundamentals and solid asset performance, particularly through its insurance and asset management divisions. Some analysts emphasize its potential for future growth, highlighted by a decent dividend yield and performance metrics, while others caution that the stock may be getting expensive at current levels. The company's exposure to fintech through Wealthsimple is seen as both a risk and an opportunity for additional upside over the coming years. Despite some recent price increases, several experts suggest waiting for a pullback before adding to positions, indicating mixed sentiments about the immediate future of the stock. Overall, analysts recognize the company as a well-managed, blue-chip investment with room for growth, albeit with some concerns about valuation and market conditions.
New management, stock's gaining a new lease on life, and market's rewarding that. One thing against it is its huge holding in a mutual fund company, when we don't know where the stock market's going to go from here. Its insurance holding still looks OK.
No clue where growth is going to come from, but he's curious. Inclined to stay in the stock as market shows it some love.
Recent selloff. Perhaps as a breather after the "everything else" trade, or in sympathy with HOOD and crypto (exposure via Wealthsimple). That exposure can give another 30% upside over next 5 years (if HOOD really works). Organic growth and solid EPS growth. 12% growth rate.
Very well run, long-term focus. Major asset is GWO, also owns IGM. The third leg of the stool is fintech and alternative investments, and amounts to less than 5% of total assets. You can buy more of a pure-play alternative asset manager out in the market (think BAM, KKR, or APO). PE is ~13.5x, a bit rich for this type of business. Nice dividend ~3.5%.
His preference is to own GWO, which he does.
Pullback is probably more related to the sector and not the company itself. It owns GWO and IGM, both very good cornerstone businesses. Invested in Wealthsimple, growing very quickly, could represent hidden value. In a way, it's hedged in case fintech Wealthsimple disrupts its legacy businesses.
Very robust, 3-legged stool. Solid income, with visible runway of dividend growth. Pullback is buyable.
For upwards of a 20% position, he's generally comfortable holding in a long-term portfolio such as a TFSA. Especially if it's a stable, core anchor such as this name. Stock's had a great run over last 3-4 years, multiple's expanded from 9x PE to 12x. Doing everything right, but it is getting expensive.
He has been trimming, and you may want to do the same. Especially as there are no tax implications in a TFSA for selling. A 10-20% weighting in this name in a TFSA is appropriate.
Its main assets are GWO and IGM. Those are owned in a holding company called Power Financial. Then there's one level up, which is POW. When you go up to the holding company, the market always attributes a discount to them. That introduces a variable that you can't control, as the discount can widen or narrow.
With this stock, you're two levels removed from the operating assets. Similar to the Loblaw/George Weston setup. He prefers to get closer to the source, and the ideal asset in this mix is GWO, which he owns.
It is hard to ignore the strong momentum shares of POW have had. Trading at 11X forward earnings with results that continue to look strong, we would be fine with owning the name. Even if it starts to level out from here, the 3.6% yield doesn't hurt.

On fire. Still pretty cheap despite the run. Cheaper than banks but with a similar growth rate. Bit of a play on crypto via Wealthsimple. Lots of engines. Great dividend.
Wouldn't add at these levels. If you don't own, could take a nibble. Try for $4-5 cheaper. Great company, with more to go.
