TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

As analysts praise the super-regional insurance provider going for risk mitigation versus policy growth, we reiterate HRTG as a TOP PICK.   The decision to exit high risk markets is aiding the bottom line allowing cash reserves to grow while debt is retired.  It trades at 9x earnings, 2.1x book and supports a ROE of 27%.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $15.50) to $17.00, looking to achieve $29.00 -- upside potential of 28%.  Yield 0% 

(Analysts’ price target is $29.00)

COMMENT
Inflation from tariffs yet to show up.

Yes, we had confirmation yesterday through the Fed meeting. When they released their comments, they used really aggressive language in terms of what they were expecting. We're a few months into tariffs, and we haven't seen any inflation yet, but it's in the pipeline.

Different estimates he's been reading indicate that it could take anywhere from 12-18 months for tariffs to be fully reflected in prices. It's expected to be quite severe. Along with unemployment, inflation is front and centre when it comes to the Fed moving on rates.

COMMENT
Markets near record highs.

Consumers and businesses have been relying on credit to drive economic growth. More and more, over time, it's the stock market that's been a crucial factor in driving consumption. In view of the less-than-rosy economic backdrop, for markets to be where they are is a little bit surprising.

That's what people need to keep in mind. There is potential for some downward volatility.

COMMENT
What to look for.

It's a good habit to focus on companies that can control their own destiny on financing. Use the volatility that can come up in the market in your favour. From time to time, when markets are going to be very volatile, really good companies will sell off. It helps to know ahead of time what you might like to buy.

He tends to focus on cashflow. Companies that can generate good cashflow, and with strong balance sheets, have a lot of options in tough markets.

DON'T BUY

Stay away. Very low valuation, which attracts some people. Doesn't have scale or diversified product offering. Harder for smaller banks to made adequate investment in technology, which limits returns. He'd rather one of the big 6, such as TD or BNS.

WAIT

Wonderful company, his favourite in the group. Has owned in past, but not now due to valuation. Near record highs. P&C insurance is very defensive, so it draws crowds when people get panicky in the market and the price gets bid up. Wait for a better valuation.
