Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (AMP)

Top Div

A sleeper.

Decent balance sheet nice cash on hand, low debt, 3+% dividend 18% percent projected increase in EPS next year seems i fly this one for a bit

Undervalued

financial planning

With a PE ratio of about 7, this stock is seriously undervalued. In these scary financial times, people are going to need more and more financial advice. And Ameriprise is there to give it to them.

I think this stock is getting punished because it is in the financial field. They still have a strong business franchise with a growing client base for personal financial management and strong insurance division. We should start seeing some upside soon.

I used Bates' model to determine a fair value of 73.53.
I AM a sunday fool.com player so it's probably wrong again.

I like this because they have a recognizable name, no blemishes on the record I have heard of, and when the boomres are retiring, they are going to have to do something w. their money

I used to work for this company and even though I don't believe in what they "train" or their proprietary advice, they have the most CFP's and a very large advisor base and are extremely good at gathering assets and selling insurance. Originally when they spun off from AXP I didn't think this company would do that well and even more so match what AXP is doing. It's a solid company with solid management. I see them continuing to do well in the Financial Planning arena

Ameriprice Financial was spun off American Express with great success now as an independent company. The stock has benn preforming well, until recently because the whole market has perform poorly.

The baby boomers are begining to retired, which is a welthy generation that is willing to let others manage their money.

Great buy now that the market has dipped !!!

This company is working hard to exploit technology to reduce cost and provide wide coverage services.

Steady growth I believe strong company.

If you believe that boomers have tons of retirement money to manage.

A well managed, young, and safe play.

AMP is positioning to be a power player for the "Boomers". As the Boomer nation becomes older and start to retire the financial planning for this group is going to be a huge market and AMP has made an effort to grab hold of that market. The insiders of this company seem to think that the stock is going up as well. I look for AMP to reach $64.00 or higher by the end of the year.
