Q: Can you please provide your feedback on Real Matters Inc. (REAL.TO)? It's been consistently rising since June.
5i Research Answer:
REAL is in recovery mode; it has a solid Q2 with a 27% 'beat' on earnings. It also has good positive leverage to lower interest rates (now occurring) and the real estate market. Earnings in the next two years will still be significantly lower than they have been historically, but at least EPS is back in growth mode (3c to 14c expected 2025/2024). The balance sheet remains strong and there has been some insider buying this year. It remains expensive on expected earnings, but there is improvement occurring here.
