Etienne Ricard’s rating is based on goeasy’s ability to maintain stability in credit losses despite challenging economic conditions. The company’s proactive approach in tightening underwriting standards and collection practices has contributed to this resilience. However, the forecasted slower loan growth in the first quarter, due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties, suggests a cautious outlook.
Despite a resilient labor market and goeasy’s diversified employment industries, the anticipated economic challenges and recent adjustments to the rate cap necessitate a conservative stance. Additionally, while goeasy’s share repurchase activities and a stable debt profile are positive, the unchanged target price reflects uncertainties tied to macroeconomic factors and leadership changes. Consequently, the Hold rating represents a balanced assessment of risk and potential reward.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 41 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
