PRA Group (PRAA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PRA Group Inc. has demonstrated strong financial performance, highlighted by a 27% increase in legal cash collections year-over-year to $125 million and a total cash collection of $542 million in the third quarter, representing a 14% rise over the prior year. Additionally, portfolio income reached $259 million, a 20% increase from the same quarter last year, complemented by significant growth in Americas & Australia cash collections at $310 million, up 16%, and European collections at $186 million, up 18%. The company's overall revenue for the quarter was $311 million, an 11% increase compared to the previous year, exceeding projections and reflecting a favorable market environment for both collections and portfolio recovery efforts.
Bears say
PRA Group Inc. faces a negative outlook due to its significantly lower gross revenue yields on acquired charge-offs compared to its competitor, ECPG, with an average portfolio yield of 23% over the past five years, which lags by 15%. Additionally, there has been a notable decline in purchase volume in the Americas and Australia core segment, plummeting 47% year-over-year, while cash collections as a percentage of average receivables decreased to 11.9%, indicating reduced operational efficiency. Compounding these issues, the potential for future impairment charges poses a risk to earnings per share and may exert downward pressure on company valuation.
