Analyst negativity - faulty projections
Scoita currenlty has a target price of 19.00 - when you look at the numbers presented you see that they are expecting CFPS to plunge siginfiacantly next year - why is a mystery??
CFPS
2018 - 1.97
2019 - 1.64
2020 - 1.67
Also from their report their adjusted payout ratio is way out of whack:
2019 - 102.5%
2020 - 98.2%
Very negative projections and their cash deployment expectations are also very low - 2019 they are predicting a drop to well below 100 million.
This anyalyst clearly has a negative perception and either is not listening to conference calls when the positive capital deployment environment is mentioned or believes that there will be significant redemptions - in either case way out too lunch with the numbers.
With the positive resets in 6 weeks the payout ratio will drop again and new deployments will move the needle well into the 80's - amazing that a company that follows through on their promises and has dealt with problem files in an transparent and conservative manner is still treated this way by the so called experts - still trading at close to a 9% yield - but then again anything with a yield of over 5% is ridiculed and most of the analysts are on this bandwagon as they hate buy and hold dividend investors as less trading impacts their industry profits.
Would you rather have the company pay out 90% of their cash flow to you as a dividend or payout 50% with a lower dividend? - seems like a no brainer to me as I would rather have the cash in my pocket rather than leaving it with management where mistakes can be made.

The way the contracts are made, when metrics in the companies they invest in improve, then the distributions from those companies increase (called distribution collar). This happens yearly (can be up/down) If my memory is good, from the last CC, they said the average reset was around 4%, which means that the current distributions they receive will increase by 4% next january.

Okay, let me ask you this.. why does it even matter to you ? Are you not in Alaris for dividend income ? Analyst have their own agendas, you have your own, does Alaris fit your requirement ? If yes, then ignore what others say. The company is doing all right things to make you they give you your fair share of cash. Keep collecting and ignore the noise. GLTA

Your response was unnecessarily testy, and negative. First, not long ago the bank extended their credit line, even before they resolved some problem files. No reason they won't again considering the underlying business is now more solid Second, management said during cc that no redemptions were projected short term.

Scotia's analysis was poor for 2018 (if you look at Scotia's forecast vs reality) and is poor again for 2019. Hopefully for Scotia's clients, the analyst does a better job for the other stocks he's analyzing, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I would imagine it's a matter of cash flow. The banks should be happy enough to open the spigot if debt payments are well-covered.
