Q: Hello. Thoughts on this one? Can you comment on its product offerings, growth, value and future prospects? How sustainable is the dividend? Would you buy it?

5i Research Answer:

PRL offers credit products and services to the underserved population and its products include: moneykey (loans and lines of credit for US customers), creditfresh (open-ended lines of credit for US customers), fora (lines of credit for Canadian customers), and pathward (lending as a service partner for the US). It has shown high growth rates over the past several years (58% and 75% most recently) and with a small revenue base of $242M it can see good growth into the future. Analyst estimates call for 33% and 36% growth over the next tow years. It's profitable and trades at a cheap valuation of 5.5X forward P/E, and has a growing balance sheet. We think it looks decent here, although it does have small-cap size risks. It does not yet generate positive free cash flow, and it is mostly funded through debt, but it is moving in the right direction. We would consider it buyable today, while being mindful of position sizing and the company's risks.
