Tom Mackinnon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Intact Financial Corporation’s resilience and strategic positioning. The company’s stock has consistently outperformed the S&P/TSX index, regardless of the fluctuations in industry rate cycles. This performance is attributed to its diversified business model, which has reduced reliance on its personal auto segment, now less than 30% of its operations compared to over 45% historically.
Additionally, Intact Financial Corporation is attractively valued with a forward operating EPS multiple that is competitive relative to its historical averages and the broader market. The company’s strong market positioning, robust data analytics capabilities, and effective management team further bolster its prospects. These factors, combined with successful acquisitions like RSA/Direct Line, position Intact Financial Corporation to capitalize on favorable conditions in the property and casualty insurance markets, supporting the Buy recommendation.
