I do not own this stock of IGM Financial (TSX-IGM, OTC-IGIFF). I originally bought this stock to replace AGF Management (TSX-AGF.B). IGM was known as a dividend growth stock and it was on a lot of lists of good stocks, including Mike Higgs' and Dividend Aristocrats. I sold this 2011 because I had Power Financial, of which this company is partially owned by and I wanted to rationalize my portfolio. So, I sold this stock and bought more of Power Financial. I purposely sold at a low point to reduce taxes and did a buy at a low price also.
When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed the performance of this stock has been low to moderate for quite some time. For example, Revenue is up by 3.85% and 1.85% per year over the past 5 and 10 years. Revenue per share is up by 4.82% and 2.72% per year over the past 5 and 10 years. The difference between these growth rates is due to buybacks.
This stock used to be a dividend growth stock. It has had a hard time since the 2008 bear market with low to non-existent dividend growth. There has been no dividend increases since 2015 and analysts do not see any in the near future either
The current dividend yield is good but the yields used to be in the moderate range. The current dividend yield is 6.59% with 5, 10 and historical median yields at 5.58%, 5.20% and 3.43%.
They can still afford their dividends, but payout is on the high side. The Dividend Payout Ratio for 2018 for EPS was 71% with 5 year coverage at 75%. It would probably need to be in the 50% range before the company raises dividends again. The DPR for CFPS for 2018 was a high at 59% with 5 year coverage at 48%. I would prefer to see this at 40% or less.
The debt ratios are fine, but I would like to see some ratios at better points. The long Term Debt/Market Cap Ratio is good at 0.25. The Liquidity Ratio is good also at 1.92 for 2018 with 5 year median also at 1.92. The Debt Ratio is low at 1.42 with 5 year ratio at 1.44. I prefer this at 1.50. The Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios for 2018 are a bit high at 3.39 and 2.39 with 5 year medians at 2.86 and 1.86. I prefer these to be below 3.00 and 2.00 respectively.
The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 28 to the end of 2018. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See charts below.
All stocks were down a lot by the end of December of 2018. However, it would appear that it has not made much for shareholders for a while.
| From | Years | Div. Gth | Tot Ret | Cap Gain | Div. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 5 | 0.91% | -6.12% | -11.17% | 5.05% |
| 2008 | 10 | 1.18% | 5.09% | -1.32% | 6.41% |
| 2003 | 15 | 5.63% | 6.05% | -0.02% | 6.06% |
| 1998 | 20 | 9.30% | 6.00% | 0.81% | 5.19% |
| 1993 | 25 | 12.08% | 9.68% | 4.09% | 5.59% |
| 1990 | 28 | 11.76% | 16.40% | 8.46% | 7.94% |
So far, the stock is up 10% this year and this helps the total return for the last 5 years, but still total returns are really low for the past 15 years.

Results of stock price testing is that all the tests are showing that the stock price testing suggests the stock price is relatively cheap.
When I look at analysts’ recommendations, I find Buy (4), Hold (3) and Underperform (1). The consensus would be a Hold. The 12 month stock price consensus is $36.75. This implies a total return of 14.20% with 7.61% from capital gains and 6.59% from dividends.

Mary Kom on Fairfield Current talks about some analyst’s recommendations on this stock.
