PRA Group (PRAA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PRA Group Inc. has demonstrated remarkable growth in legal cash collections, which rose 27% year-over-year to $125 million during the third quarter, contributing to an overall cash collection figure of $542 million, up 14% compared to the previous year. The company's portfolio income reached $259 million in the same quarter, marking a 20% increase, solidly aligning with the firm's projections and reflecting robust performance across both the Americas and Europe. Furthermore, operational improvements over the past two years, characterized by expanding margins and increased cash collection efficiency, underscore a favorable financial outlook for the company.
Bears say
PRA Group Inc. experienced a significant earnings shortfall in the first quarter, reporting earnings of $0.09 compared to a high estimate of $0.54, primarily driven by a 4% decrease in collections, despite adjusted EBITDA being relatively close to expectations. The company has adjusted its full-year guidance for Return on Average Tangible Equity from 12% to “below” that, reflecting caution post-tariff and a disappointing operational performance, which also resulted in a revenue miss of $270 million against an estimate of $296 million. Additionally, while the portfolio yield was reported at 23.3%, it fell short of forecasts, compounded by a decrease in expected recoveries, further exacerbating negative sentiment towards the stock's outlook.
