Stock Opinions by Tony Demarin
TOP PICK
Likes Cdn banks and their history of growing dividends. This one is well run and one of the lowest on a cost to income basis. Conservative with their credit quality. Good growth opportunities in non-North American areas. Want to expand in wealth management. Trading at about 12X earnings. Expected to raise dividends again in 2011.
banks
COMMENT
Likes long-term outlook. Operationally doing well. Significant growth opportunities in Asia, primarily Vietnam and China. Biggest challenge is liability on variable annuities and segregated funds. Will be dependent on stock market growth (which he is optimistic on) as well as long-term interest rates, which will help.
insurance
COMMENT
Recently sold his holdings when it got into the mid-$30's and raised dividends. Just acquired CTV so well now revaluate the situation. Challenge for telecom companies in Canada is that they are slow growing. Replacing wire line with faster wireless, which has much more competition in the next couple of years.
telephone utilities
DON'T BUY
When Ontario government announced they were going to change the rules on generic drugs he took the opportunity to exit the stock and assess the landscape in the next couple of years. Expect other provincial governments will follow. Still good growth opportunities in Western Canada. Well managed, pays a dividend and trades at a reasonable multiple but he would like more clarity on the rules.
specialty stores
COMMENT
Will convert on Nov 1st to a dividend paying company. Will reduce cash payments from about $.80 to $.65 in the form of a dividend. Distributable cash next year will be close to $1. Fantastic yield. Trying to transition from old media print style company to an on-line web based advertising. Would hold this only if you are interested in the yield.
