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.
