Time to increase div

[angelnicky]

CEO and Board must increase their div this time

Could not agree more. They have a very low payout ratio and since the interest rate will rise over the next 2 years, the profit margin should also improve. But regardless of these favorables circonstances it seems that the only way to improve the share price would be thru an increase of the dividend. We are du for a generous one.

Are you both living in a CAVE? There is/was a thing called COVID, you should have heard about it by now, read the news (google Covid). Both banks and insurance companies are not allowed to raise divy or buy back shares until Justin says so (with a minority). Do you think that may be the reason the divy has not been raised in the last 18 mos. cause its illegal

CEO and board are not creating much shareholder value time on a leadership change, they were there to long

MFC (and SLF, and all the banks) are currently forbidden from dividend increases and share buybacks. Until allowed again by the regulator (OSFI - Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions), neither of these will happen in Canada.
