Propel Holdings (PRL-T) is exhibiting a mix of strengths and challenges as highlighted by various experts. While several analysts recognize its potential for strong growth and appreciate its solid management, there are concerns related to the economic environment and the inherent risks of sub-prime lending. The company's use of AI in credit assessments and its focus on the US market have been noted as positive factors. However, rising delinquencies and credit loss provisions are causing caution among investors. Despite recent sell-offs, many believe the stock is undervalued relative to its growth potential, attributing its decline to broader industry pressures rather than a fundamental weakness in its business model.
One of the largest holdings in the fund. One of the best small cap growth stocks in Canada. Doubling of profits every single year. Expecting ~20% growth going forward. ~30% ROE, with minimum leverage. Lending in the US market with small base (able to grow). Highly aligned management that is top notch. Non-prime lender - but accounting for this with higher rates. Ability to underwrite without a human - tech very strong. 2% dividend yield is safe.
PRL's dividend has increased by 30% compared to the same quarter for the previous year, and much of this increase is in relation to its rising stock price. From 2021 to the end of 2023, its quarterly dividend payment was between $0.095 and $0.105, and its yield was between 5% and 6%. In late 2023 when its share price began to appreciate rapidly, its dividend yield dropped as a result, and to maintain an attractive yield PRL has been raising its dividend payment. Its yield now stands at 2.3% and has been fairly stable since early this year.
