Positive Factors

Operating momentumStrong performance at Great-West, a core operating holding, provides a durable earnings foundation for the group. Record profitability and double-digit EPS growth can support reinvestment, capital returns, and continued value creation across Power’s broader financial-services portfolio.

Negative Factors

Revenue volatilityLarge revenue swings make it harder to assess the underlying growth trajectory and reduce confidence that reported profitability will remain consistent. Although net income has been relatively steady, continued top-line volatility can constrain forecasting and make operating results more sensitive to market conditions.

Power Corp of Canada Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Nov 11, 2026(Q3-2026)|% Change Since:0.00%|Next Earnings Date:Mar 24, 2027

Earnings Call SentimentPositive

The call was strongly constructive, with broad-based earnings growth at Great-West and IGM, record or rising operating metrics, substantial NAV appreciation, strong cash availability and significant shareholder returns. The main challenges were losses and earnings volatility in certain NAV-based and alternative businesses, a 5% decline in ChinaAMC assets, higher corporate expenses and a still-material NAV discount. Highlights significantly outweighed the lowlights.

Positive Updates

Adjusted Earnings and EPS Growth

Power's Q3 adjusted net earnings were $964 million, up 12% year-over-year, while adjusted EPS was $1.53, up 13% compared with Q3 last year. Results reflected strong business momentum from Great-West and IGM.

Negative Updates

Losses in NAV-Based Businesses

GBL and Power Sustainable reported adjusted losses in line with prior periods.

Company Guidance

Management said Great-West and IGM are exceeding their respective adjusted EPS growth targets that should generate low to mid-teen returns, inclusive of the dividend yield; Great-West intends to buy back another $1.6 billion of stock next year, while Power’s intention to proportionately participate has not changed. Sagard has a crystal clear goal of USD 100 billion in assets over the next several years, and management expects progress on sustainable FRE and growing margin in 2027, while noting FRE will not be positive in every single quarter but should directionally grow over time; Power Sustainable expects to have more to report as it moves through 2027. GBL has a 12-month target to return about EUR 1 billion through buybacks and dividends, and Power’s proprietary investments target a 10% return, having been in excess of 10% over the past 1, 3 and 5 years. For Power buybacks, management said to start with the base plan of what has been done in recent years, which has moved around from a couple of hundred million up to $400 million, and then take guidance from the Great-West program.
