TOP PICK
A safe, slow and steady pick. It definitely benefits from rising interest rates. They invested early in Lion Electric and did well. They got rid of PWF and are growing their alternative investments. They trade at a 22% discount to their intrinsic value, typical for a holdco, but are closing that gap. Low PE of over 10x and good price momentum and strong balance sheet. (Analysts’ price target is $45.00)
DON'T BUY

He owned Power Financial for a long time, but not POW. All financials plunged in 2008, but POW has never really come back. However, recently, the stock is doing well after investing in tech including Wealthsimple (a smart investment). If you want to own Great-West Life, buy it directly and not trough POW.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With a market cap exceeding $26 billion, POW is one of Canada's largest supplier of life insurance and personal investment management services. It trades at 11x earnings, compared to peers at 30x. With healthy growth prospects ahead for earnings, its PEG ratio is good value at 0.69. It trades a 1.27x book value -- good value here. It's growing dividend is excellent, backed by a payout ratio under 55% of cashflow. We would buy this with a stop loss at $34, looking to achieve $45 -- upside potential over 13%. Yield 4.56% (Analysts’ price target is $42.49)
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 17/20, Up 62%) It remains a compelling name. He models 14% EPS growth. Their underlying subsidiaries are performing well, including Great-west Life which is doing acqutisiions. Also are doing private equity plays like Wealthsimple. Pays a nice dividend.

BUY
Insurance companies tend to be significantly benefited by increased rates. He thinks insurance will perform better than banks. POW-T has done well. The spin-outs and the interest rates will help it. He'd like to see more corporate activity.
HOLD
Underlying companies are performing well. Interesting investments, such as in WealthSimple. Attractive yield of around 4.5%. Own it for income.
BUY
Income growth. Done very well. Good dividend. More aggressively managed now. You'll get your dividend of 5-6%, plus growth of 3-4%, so an overall return of 8-10% Flow-through revenue from its holdings to the topline will be very small, so if you're excited about them, buy the individual companies.
BUY
Stability, good solid dividend with growth. Dividend is over 5%, and has grown about 10% a year over the last 5 years. Capital appreciation as well. In the cyclical financial sector.
SELL
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Insurers will benefit whenever interest rates rise. When this happens is anyone’s guess, but likely not this year. Until then, there’s little to recommend POW stock, which I owned years ago. For the past five years, POW stock has traded within a strict range between, plunging to the mid/low-20s and rising to $33 which is its current level. In that time, POW stock’s EPS has been -$4.32%. Meanwhile, Power pays a safe 5.42% dividend based on a 71% payout ratio. That’s basically it. Read April Showers and Flowers: 4 Covid Vaccination Stocks to Buy and Sell for our full analysis.
WEAK BUY
You have to like financial services industry. There is a lot they do under their umbrella. A growth area. It is sensitive to capital markets. Must be cautious. Closer to a high than its low. Not early.
DON'T BUY

Holds communications, cash, Great West Life, Investors Group. He doesn't want anything in the mutual fund industry. Not trading at a big discount to NAV. Safe, decent dividend, reasonable valuation. Not attracted at these levels. Doesn't have the growth.

TOP PICK
A number of strategic moves have gone largely unnoticed. Selling non-core assets. Interest rates will benefit it. An inexpensive entry point. Not a lot of downside from here. Yield is 5.67%. (Analysts’ price target is $34.80)
DON'T BUY

Not that enamoured. Doesn't like the business. Can't believe the high fees they charge. Family management team not proactive. More horsepower in Manulife for a similar business. It has better risk/reward long-term, with a good-sized dividend while you wait.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Power Corp whopping 6.67% dividend yield is considered safe at a 79% payout ratio. This stock appeals to income investors who don’t expect much stock appreciation. Power trades at a low 10x PE, which has actually fallen from 14.13x a year ago. So, this is a steady but boring dividend stock whose share price should slowly creep up in months to come. Are there better returns out there? Yes, but they’re also riskier. Read PEP and NVDA: 3 More Top Recognized ESG Investing Options for our full analysis.
COMMENT
He holds it for some clients in income portfolios. The share price has gone nowhere but they pay good dividends. It certainly is undervalued.
