EZCORP (EZPW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
EZCORP Inc reported robust financial performance, highlighted by a 28% increase in LatAm EBITDA during Q3, contributing to 24% of the company's total EBITDA. The merchandise margin in the Latin America segment improved sequentially to 30.6%, while overall merchandise margin reached 35.8%, aligning with the company's targeted range of 35% to 38%. Additionally, a 7% year-over-year increase in pawn services charges, driven by higher average pawn loans outstanding, underscores the company's strong operational momentum and revenue growth, as evidenced by an overall sales increase of 11% in the quarter.
Bears say
EZCORP has experienced persistent inventory challenges, with its inventory turnover lagging behind competitors and an increase in aged general merchandise, which has led to a dilution of stock value and overall underperformance. The company's turnover rate has seen a slight decline, attributed to a greater proportion of jewelry in inventory, which typically requires longer selling periods despite potentially higher values per item. Additionally, potential risks from currency fluctuations and unfavorable regulations, as well as a significant drop in gold prices, pose serious threats to the company's asset values and earnings, contributing to a negative outlook on the stock.
