Etienne Ricard has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Guardian Cap Cl A NV’s strategic progress and financial potential. The company is actively advancing its strategic initiatives, such as the integration of Sterling and the expansion of its presence in the Canadian retail market. These efforts aim to double investment management earnings by 2028, which presents a promising growth trajectory.
Moreover, despite challenges in net flows, Guardian has seen positive inflows into fixed income assets, which constitute a significant portion of client assets. The valuation of Guardian’s operating businesses appears undervalued relative to their earnings potential, offering an attractive risk-reward scenario. Additionally, potential synergies from the Sterling acquisition and the strategic deployment of excess capital are expected to enhance the company’s financial performance, further justifying the Buy rating.
