EZPW: Buy Now Before The Market Reprices This Undervalued Cash Machine

Summary

• I rate EZCORP a Strong Buy due to its resilient, efficient business model, consistent profitability, and undervaluation within the pawn lending sector.
• EZCORP's strong financials, expanding margins, and robust liquidity highlight its ability to perform across economic cycles and support future growth.
• DCF valuation and peer comparisons reveal significant upside potential for the industry, with the current share price reflecting only conservative growth assumptions.
• Aggressive expansion in Mexico, a new Moody’s rating, and solid fundamentals reinforce my conviction in EZCORP’s long-term investment appeal.
