TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

DFY is the financial holding company for one of the leading property and casualty insurers in Canada, with nearly $4 billion in annual gross premiums.  They are completing compliance approvals to reduce its leverage restrictions, allowing for a $550 million increase in their credit facility to grow their business.  It trades at 14x earnings, under 2x book and supports an 18% ROE.  We recommend placing a stop-loss at $31, looking to achieve $44 -- upside potential of over 18%.  Yield 1.4%

(Analysts’ price target is $43.55)

Likes it long term. Management expects price increases which sets it up for a great bottom line in 2024. Last week, they reported a massive 27% earnings beat which caught people's attention.

 Although not well known it is Canada's 7th biggest property/casualty insurance company. 70% is personal insurance and 30% is commercial. Its IPO was 18 months ago on the TSX and it is now trading at 1 1/2 times BV. It can grow organically and can now leverage its balance sheet to make acquisitions. After a nice run along with a recent pull-back, he is buying more. It is profitable and growing faster than Intact Insurance, the gold standard in Canada.

Up 30% in one year and the biggest IPO of 2021. Their combined ratio went from 110% to 90%, from losing to making money. Pays a 1.3% dividend. Also they have a pet insurance business, a lucrative space.

Small, junior version of IFC, which he does own. Prefers IFC with its scale, breadth, and geographic diversification. P&C has been in the sweet spot. Likes it. If he were going to own another, this would probably be the one.

They added it to the portfolio earlier this year. It is in the property and casualty insurance business and is inexpensive compared to Intact Financial, its main peer. It has great pricing power and good growth. Wait for a pullback.
