The Canadian stock markets have extended their uprising, with the S&P/TSX Composite Index A new high reached yesterday. Years to date, the index has increased by 22%. Despite the optimism of investors, the following two Canadian shares have chased the broader stock markets and trade on attractive ratings. Given their reduced stock prices and high growth prospects, I expect that these two companies will yield multiple returns in the long term.
pushy
pushy (TSX: GSY) is a Canadian alternative financial services that offer loans and lease services to subprime customers. Last month, the Jehoshaphat investigation published a report in which the company established in Mississauga accused the incorrect postponement of his credit losses and the unsuccessful arrears arrears. The research agency is also of the opinion that Gheasy has systematically suppressed the reporting of his arrears backwards for years. In the meantime, Goeasy has denied these allegations and mentioned the report as false and malignant.
The skepticism of investors, however, has weighed on the stock price of Gheasy, which led to a decrease of approximately 17% since the release of the report on 19 September. The correction has dragged its appreciation down, with its NTM (next-12 months) price-to-sales and NTM price flours multiples at 1.5 and 8.3 respectively, respectively.
In addition, Gheasy has reported a healthy performance in the first two quarters of this year, which generates $ 1.58 billion in loan original and thereby increased its loan portfolio to $ 5.1 billion. The loan portfolio represents an increase of 23% compared to the quarter of the previous year. Moreover, the annual net loading percentage fell by 40 basis points to 8.8%. In the midst of these solid operational performance, the top line and diluted EPS (profit per share) grew by 10.2% and 4.3% respectively.
Moreover, the Canadian subprime market has grown with an annual rate of 4.2% since 2021 and reached up to $ 231 billion in 2024. In the meantime, Goeesy has only acquired 2% of the market. That is why it has a considerable scope for expansion. With its extensive product portfolio, strategic initiatives and increasing market penetration, the company is well positioned to strengthen its market position and to stimulate financial growth. In addition, the company has consistently rewarded shareholders, which has increased its dividend in the last 11 years an annual percentage of approximately 29.5% and currently offers a fixed yield of 3.46%. Given all these factors, I am bullish about Peeleasy despite the volatility in the short term.
Savaria
Second on my list is Savaria (TSX: SIS), which designs, produces, distributes and installs worldwide accessibility solutions. It has reported a healthy performance in the first six months of this year, with its turnover and adapted profit per share by 3.8% and 20.9% respectively. The top growth and expansion of the gross margin in the midst of improving the efficiency of purchasing, prices and activities by his “Savaria One” initiative led to his EPS growth.
Moreover, the growing aging population has increased the demand for accessibility solutions. Given its extensive product line and the global dealer network, Savaria is well positioned to take advantage of the growth of demand. In addition, the company gives priority to product innovation, expansion of capacity, improving efficiency and managing cost savings due to streamlined purchasing.
The company has also launched the second phase of its “Savaria One” initiative, which will form its strategic direction in the next three years. With $ 275 million in available funds, the company could pursue strategic acquisitions and investing aggressively in marketing initiatives. In addition, the company is currently distributing a monthly dividend of $ 0.0467 per share, which amounts to a progressive revenue of 2.74%.
Despite all these favorable factors, Savaria is currently being traded on NTM price-to-sales and NTM price wins of multiples of 1.6 and 17.2 respectively. Given the reasonable appreciation and healthy growth prospects, I believe that Savaria would be an excellent purchase at these levels.
