EPS of $0.31 beat estimates of $0.27 and revenues of $303.96M beat estimates of $282.22M. Net revenue grew by 16.5% for the quarter and it generated $0.37 of free cash flow per share for the quarter. Its capital-light business model expanded its ROE to 12.0%, and management raised its full-year 2023 guidance for net revenue, operating margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted EPS, free cash flow per share, and originations. It pays a yield close to 2%, has demonstrated strong margin expansion, forward estimates for growth are good, and it trades at a reasonable valuation. It does have a high net debt balance of $9.4B, but these were strong results and the market has reacted positively so far. We would consider the stock buyable at this time while being mindful of position sizing and the company's balance sheet risks.

Capital light, free cashflowing, cleaner story for investors. Valuation still reasonable. Supply chains easing allows them to deliver on backlog of contracts. Fix up cars, so it's downside protection and inflation-protected. Inflation does eat into some of their margins. Should perform well over the next few years, and valuation should expand. Focused on becoming data-centric to better serve its clients. Global. Yield is 2.27%.
(Analysts’ price target is $23.33)
James TelfserEFN pays a dividend yield of 2.2%, has shown decent growth over the past year, and has a strong profit margin.
Its valuation is reasonable (6.2X forward P/S and 15.9X forward P/E).
Its net debt of $8.9B relative to its equity position of $3.7B is somewhat concerning, although the company generates some positive free cash flows. Aside from its somewhat weak balance sheet, its margins and revenue growth look decent, and we would consider the stock buyable at this time while being mindful of position sizing and the company's balance sheet risks.

This is a way to have non-bank exposure in Canada and not have exposure to the housing market. Management has done an incredibly good job and have made 2 major acquisitions, including the GE fleet business. It’s very early days in terms of integration. Company is trading at around 10X forward earnings, which looks pretty cheap compared to the banks. It is growing faster than the banks. Expect the dividend will continue to grow. Dividend yield of 0.58%.
