TOP PICK
Propel Holdings
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

On the back of record earnings recently reported, we reiterate PRL as a TOP PICK.  Demand from consumers for credit is soaring, leading to a 40% increase in originations.  Management is operating prudently as cash reserves continue to grow, while debt is reduced.  It trades at 20x earnings and supports a 36% ROE.  The dividend was recently increased, but is still comfortably covered with cash flow.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $20) to $24, looking to achieve $33 -- upside potential of 20%.  Yield 1.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $32.95)

We again reiterate this direct lender to individuals, as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 20x earnings and supports a 33% ROE.   The company is prudently using some cash reserves to retire debt.   Recently reported earnings showed a 77% increase in net income and a record level loans that had grown by 39%.  We continue to recommend a tight stop at $20, looking to achieve $32 -- upside potential over 26%.  Yield 2.2%

BUY
Propel Holdings

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.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

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.

TOP PICK
Propel Holdings

Consistently profitable, raising dividend. No bricks and mortar, works with credit unions. Uses AI to follow your tracks to get a more enhanced credit score, so it's a better predictor of a borrower's credit worthiness. We'll need to get data from a credit cycle, but so far credit quality seems to be really strong. Yield is 2.3%.

Propel Holdings

He likes and knows it really well. Management is doing an excellent job. It has doubled its profits every year for the last 3 years. It is hard to keep up this pace but it should be able to continue to have healthy growth and profits. Has a high ROC, good dividend, single digit multiples. Management and insiders own lots.
