J'ignorais jusqu'à dernièrement que l'entreprise avait une entente de référencement avec la banque Royale du Canada en Ontario. Chaque fois qu'un client de la RBC n'est pas qualifié pour une hypothèque, il est référencé vers Home Capital Group...
Également, l'entreprise s'amène tranquillement dans le sud ouest du Québec...
C'est bien évident que les prêts assurés auront besoin d'un cashdown moins élevé...
J'ai amélioré ma position dans le titre à la suite de l'annonce de la réserve fédérale américaine de geler son taux directeurs jusqu'en 2013. Je pense que la banque du Canada ne touchera pas beaucoup au sien d'ici la mi 2013 et que cela redevient un contexte d'investissement favorable pour HCG.
Et de toute façon, à l'évaluation actuelle que le titre a, il faut avouer que son potentiel baissier est quand même limité...

Return on equity at 27.0 per cent remained robust in the quarter and continues well in excess of the company's minimum performance objective of 20 per cent.
Comme toujours, c'est très clair et très positif!
TORONTO (Dow Jones)-Despite the pickup in Canada's jobless rate, the
housing market here will likely remain strong, the head of Toronto-based
mortgage lender Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG.T) said.
"The real estate market from coast to coast is really quite stable,"
Home Capital Chief Executive Gerald Soloway said in an interview.
The quality of the borrower "is much stronger than we've seen for some
time," said Soloway. "We're seeing a pretty rosy picture."
Canada's unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 7.3% in October after
the country shed 54,000 jobs, the biggest one-month job loss since March
2009. Ontario, the country's industrial heartland, was the hardest hit,
with the jobless rate rising to 8.1% last month from 7.6% in September.
By contrast, in resource-rich Alberta, the jobless rate dipped to 5.1%
from 5.4%.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see a shift of people out of Ontario to
the west over the next period of time because there's real demand for
employees across all western provinces," said Soloway.
He doesn't expect the housing market in Ontario to be seriously
impacted. In downtown Toronto, where there has been "a little
exuberance", housing prices are "staying pretty firm" in part because
the financial services and medical industries and government are the
major employers.
Toronto-based Home Capital lends to entrepreneurs, new immigrants and
people with poor credit or previous credit problems, who can't typically
get money from regular mortgage sources, like banks. For 14 straight
years, its return on equity has been more than 20% and, in nine of the
14 years, ROE has been over 25%.
Soloway said he's also seen some of the big banks tighten their lending standards "on the periphery."
The country's real estate market will stabilize into 2012, with new
home construction and resale homes moderating from their previous highs,
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said Friday.
"We have heard in Canada for the last five years that the Canadian
housing market is going to follow the U.S. market and go into a
tailspin. For five full years, quarter by quarter, we hear that same
story and we do not see any signs of the Canadian market behaving like
the U.S. market," said Soloway. "We see a pretty stable market, and the
ultimate degree of confidence is the people who buy the houses. They
have real skin in the game and they're still buying properties."
