Doesn’t have a great balance sheet, although it has fixed a fair bit of it. Extremely levered to price, because it is heavy blends of oil. If you think oil is going to $60, this is still a buy and it will go to $10. Because of the volatility it gives you chances to buy when oil is down. This is going to move a lot.
Has a decent amount of business that is impacted by 1% interest rates, so you are getting squeezed. Has a wealth management business in the US which is doing okay. This has been the best performer in the last couple of years of the lifecos. If you think rates are going to go higher over the next 2-3 years, Manulife (MFC-T) will be the better one.
On a 3-5 year timeframe, buy it now or wait for a pullback? On that timeframe, you could do it now or wait for a little market pullback. This, surprisingly, has a pretty high percentage of energy loans. It is them trying to diversify out of Québec. If you are negative on oil, you can wait for that little pullback.
The Columbia transaction provides a runway of growth for a few years. You have paid up a little bit for it, but it is going to be accretive next year. If they ever get something for Keystone now, it will be nothing but a bonus. They have decent growth now without it. However, the stock has discounted the growth, and has had a really nice run. Buy this on a pullback.
