Bulls Say
Analyst RecommendationAnalysts are raising the price target from $56 to $60, based on 3.5x the 2025 Adjusted EBITDA estimate, in-line with the five-year average valuation.
Business PositioningECPG’s U.S. business remains as well positioned as ever, with better-than-forecast collections and purchases, leading to ERC rising sequentially.
Operational PerformanceThe company reiterated the 2024 guidance metrics that it provided several months ago, and the rate of collections growth and record U.S. purchasing volumes in the first quarter suggest very achievable targets and potential upside.
Bears Say
Debt RatingMoody’s downgraded Encore’s corporate family debt rating following recent quarters’ variability in collections performance and the goodwill writedown of the European Cabot business.
Financial PerformanceThe GAAP headline number was significantly weighed down as the company took a large goodwill impairment on its European (mostly UK) Cabot operation.
Funding CostsThe guidance to raise full-year interest expense by $10M-$15M to capture the high-cost senior note offering completed during 1Q is a tangible negative development.
