The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Oct. 2, edition that RBC analyst Bart Dziarski rates goeasy "sector perform" in new coverage. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Dziarski set a share target of $194. Analysts on average target the shares at $234.70. Mr. Dziarski says in a note: "We rate goeasy 'sector perform' as we believe the current valuation reflects the company's growth outlook. Despite goeasy's 2-per-cent market share in an attractive TAM [total addressable market] implying a long runway of growth ahead, we believe we are past peak ROAs for the business with goeasy increasingly relying on leverage to maintain ROEs in the mid-20s. While we are not concerned about credit, we believe goeasy is both adequately reserved and should outperform when the next credit cycle occurs given a structural shift toward secured loans." The Globe reported on April 24 that Desjardins Securities analyst Gary Ho had an unchanged "buy" recommendation on goeasy, which was then going for $153.41. The Globe reported on Aug. 8 and Sept. 24 that National Bank Financial analyst Jaeme Gloyn was keeping his "outperform" ranking for goeasy intact. The shares could then be had for $200.63 and $174.66.
