EZCORP (EZPW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
EZCORP experienced a significant positive turnaround in its financial performance, as evidenced by a 28% increase in EBITDA from its Latin America segment, which now contributes 24% of the overall EBITDA. Additionally, the company reported an 11% rise in sales, surpassing consensus expectations, driven by a corresponding 11% increase in pawn loans outstanding (PLO), indicative of strong demand for its services. The improvement in merchandise margins, which rose to 35.8% and remained within the targeted range of 35% to 38%, further underscores the company's effective operational management and profitability potential.
Bears say
EZCORP has faced persistent inventory challenges, reflected in a turnover rate of approximately 2.3x in the latest quarter, which lags behind industry peers, exacerbated by a higher proportion of jewelry that typically has longer sales cycles. Additionally, the company is susceptible to risks from foreign currency fluctuations, which could negatively impact its asset values and earnings. Furthermore, adverse regulatory developments and volatility in gold prices pose significant threats to EZCORP's financial stability and performance.
