This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

PROG Holdings, symbol PRG-N, has received positive attention from stock analysts, particularly Michael O'Reilly from Stockchase Research, who has labeled it as a Top Pick on multiple occasions. The company's recent acquisition opens up significant access to a potential customer base of 7 million employees, enhancing its lease-to-own business model. The stock is reported to be trading at an attractive valuation, with earnings multiple ratios around 8 to 9 times and offering solid dividends backed by a low payout ratio. Analysts note robust cash reserves, aggressive share buybacks, and a strategy focusing on debt reduction. Overall, the stock exhibits strong financial metrics, including a 24% return on equity (ROE), alongside consistent earnings that suggest promising upside potential.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate PRG, a Utah based consumer lease to own business, as a TOP PICK.  They recently closed on an acquisition that gains access to 7 million employees providing an innovate automatic payroll purchase option.  It trades at 9x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 24% ROE.  Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 15% of cash flow.  Previously reported earnings showed cash reserves growing, while shares were aggressively bought back and debt retired.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $22) to $28, looking to achieve $41 -- upside potential of 24%.  Yield 1.5%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

This lease to own platform just completed an acquisition that will add access to another 7 million potential customers, who can access over 70,000 items to be bought through payroll deductions.  It trades at 8x earnings, 1.6x book and supports a 24% ROE.  Recently reported earnings showed growing cash reserves, while shares are aggressively bought back and debt is retired.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $22, looking to achieve $39 -- upside potential over 30%.  Yield 1.8%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O’Reilly

PRG is in the business of leasing furniture and electronics to retail customers.  Recent reported earnings showed a 9% increase in lease revenues and a 200% increase in net income.  Analysts forecast annual EPS growth over 11% over the next five years.  It trades at 7x earnings, under 2x book and supports a ROE of 31%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $25, looking to achieve $43 — upside potential over 50%.  Yield 1.7%

(Analysts’ price target is $43.33)
DON'T BUY
A fintech, sort of like Affirm in the buy-now, pay-later business. A new stock. PRG gets most of its business from progressive leasing, offering lease-to-own transactions to those with not-so-good credit via retailers. It has a lot going for it, though fintechs are hated now. Their technology can identify good borrowers even when they have bad credit scores. Its most recent quarter reported disappointing sales and cut their full-year forecast. Problem is they leant people with bad credit, but also people are flush with cash, so don't need PRG's services. It's cheap, though, at under 11x 2022's PE.
