goeasy (GSY) has garnered mixed sentiments from experts following the announcement of its CEO transition and strong recent earnings. While some analysts highlight the company's robust risk management and consistent growth in its non-prime lending space, others express concerns about the economic backdrop, particularly the potential impact on credit defaults and sub-prime borrowers amidst rising unemployment. Despite these challenges, many believe that the market may have overly punished the stock, viewing current valuations as attractive entry points. The consensus is clear that GSY has a strong operational performance and a well-developed management team, indicating it could thrive even during economic uncertainty. Overall, the outlook remains positive, suggesting that potential investors should consider the long-term growth trajectory of the company.
One of the largest holdings in the portfolio. Unexpected resignation of the CEO has been hard on the business. Recent Q3 earnings were strong. New CEO search are expected to be announced soon. Cheap valuation at current price. Will continue to own.
Recent results were quite strong. Overhangs include respected CEO retiring and concerns about economy. Some regulatory risk on maximum interest charged. Overall, great compounder. Don't focus on short-term stock moves.
Current valuation finally lets him present it as a Top Pick idea. Expanding into credit cards. Sold off last year on CEO stepping down, but former (and excellent) CEO is helping in the interim. Balance sheet in great shape. Grows 20% a year, year in and year out. Trades at 7x PE, almost a distressed multiple, great entry point. Yield is 2.7%.
(Analysts’ price target is $235.53)
Keep holding if you have it. It is performing at the operating level and should outperform in 2025. It has been going sideways and is ready to break out.
We do not really have a specific reason here. It has had no company news in more than a month. Investors may be shifting to other hotter sectors. Trump has made comments about capping interest rates. The last quarter was not a blow-out. It's been more than a year since the last dividend hike. There is a CEO transition. At less than 10X earnings, we are not particularly concerned here. The company has adapted and thrived in all sorts of challenges and economic backdrops. We think 'now' is attractive, and at $150 (close to its prior low) very attractive.

Our PAST TOP PICK with GSY has triggered its stop at $165. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. Combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment loss of 7%.
One of the best compounders in Canada. Tremendous management team, confident they'll find a capable CEO. Very strong operations. Organic growth rate has been good. Undemanding valuation. Well-developed risk management. Good hold for years to come.
Alternative lender. Headwind in Canada because of interest rate it's allowed to charge on loans, but those issues are mostly in the past. Instead, he's recently been buying PRL.
Following recently released earnings showing a 26% increase in operating earnings and a 16% increase in loan originations, we reiterate the leader in Canadian sub-prime loans as a TOP PICK. It currently trades at 11x earnings, 2.5x book value and supports a 25% ROE. We note that their debt is rising modestly, so we recommend trailing up the stop (from $150) to $165, looking to achieve $235 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 2.5%
(Analysts’ price target is $235.56)The banks lending Canadian lending, but forces like immigration favour companies like this. But their CEO left suddenly. It's been a nice bet for 15 as rates declined, but now now. Wait and see. Don't sell, but it could be a buy. It will be choppy.
Management issues a concern, but company very strong. Credit lending very good. Earnings expected to grow. Price to growth very good. Would recommend buying.
Long time investor. Has owned for over 10 years. Recent share price weakness a good time to buy. Market has oversold some of the recent announcements. Expecting loan book to grow to $6 billion. $30/share earnings not out of the question. A 6x earnings multiple would imply a ~$180 share price.
It is a non-bank credit company. If you're looking for a specialty finance company there are a number of larger more mature ones out there. This one has too much volatility for him.
As one of Canada's leading non-prime lenders to consumers, we reiterate GSY as a TOP PICK. We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired. It trades at 12x earnings, 2.6x book and supports a ROE of 25%. Recently reported Q2 earnings set a record for the company as credit applications rose 34%. It's dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend maintaining a stop at $150, looking to achieve $227 -- upside potential of 27%. Yield 2.4%

Wonderful company. Fantastic operator, very good risk manager. Delinquencies on credit cards, rising bankruptcies, and overall economy suggest more credit defaults. This will hit the non-prime customers of GSY more. But that could be your opportunity to enter the stock, as it'll benefit on the other side when the economy starts to expand.
