Question asked

SmartGroup Corp (SIQ)

You sold SIQ recently @ $8.75. I was to slow & it has fallen further. Can you expand on your decision to sell & would you consider buying back in (in the Income Portfolio) given the recent fall in the share price & solid dividend. Thanks

Answer

Hi Ian,

We sold SIQ in late January sending out the following Alert:

  • “Smart Group (SIQ) remains a reasonably well priced stock, with solid yield, however we view the risk/reward as more balanced coming into results. We are taking profit, increasing cash.”

The stocks drifted ~4% lower since our exit but ahead of its result on the 26th our reasoning hasn’t changed. We like having some $$ on hand for if/when opportunities arise during reporting season. Importantly, it wasn’t a specific issue with SIQ whose forecast to yield 6.3% over the next 12-months and continues to trade close to its 5-year average valuation. We would consider buying again, but we’d need to see either more downside, or an improved earnings outlook. We still like the company.
