Canaccord Genuity sets Timbercreek stock Buy rating, C$8 target

On Wednesday, Canaccord Genuity initiated coverage on Timbercreek Financial (TF:CN), a mortgage investment corporation, with a Buy rating and a C$8.00 price target. Analysts at the firm believe the stock presents a significant investment opportunity, forecasting a total return of 32%.

The price target is based on a price-to-book multiple of 0.9x, which is below Timbercreek’s historical average of 1.0x. This valuation reflects the higher credit loss allowances that have been set aside due to loans that were underwritten before the increase in bond yields in 2022. Canaccord Genuity’s assessment suggests that while the company’s valuation accounts for these allowances, the stock’s potential for growth remains robust.

Timbercreek Financial is distinctive in its structure as a mortgage investment corporation, which mandates the distribution of all income to shareholders in the form of dividends. Currently, the company offers a compelling dividend yield of 10.5%. This yield is supported by the income that Timbercreek generates from its portfolio, which consists of loans secured by first mortgages on income-producing properties.

The initiation of coverage by Canaccord Genuity indicates a positive outlook for Timbercreek Financial’s stock. The firm’s analysis points to the company’s ability to provide shareholders with an attractive return, particularly through its high dividend yield. This aspect of Timbercreek’s financial structure is especially noteworthy for investors seeking regular income streams.

The announcement from Canaccord Genuity underscores the potential for Timbercreek Financial’s stock to appreciate in value, despite the conservative price-to-book ratio applied in their valuation. Investors may find the combination of a strong dividend yield and the prospect of capital appreciation an appealing proposition.
