The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Oct. 31, edition that National Bank analyst Jaeme Gloyn has reaffirmed his "outperform" recommendation for goeasy. The Globe's David Leeder writes that Mr. Gloyn tweaked his share target ahead by $5 to $240. Analysts on average target the shares at $225.29. Mr. Gloyn says in a note: "Shares of goeasy have dropped 7 per cent since releasing preliminary guidance on Oct. 21, and 14 per cent from its 2024 highs in July. We believe the recent decline in share price creates a compelling buying opportunity as we approach Q3 results. We believe the lower revenue yield guidance (33 to 34 per cent vs. 34 to 35 per cent previously) and concerns on credit have contributed to the recent sell-off, but we are not concerned with either. The revenue yield was driven by three factors: 1) a faster mix shift to lower-yielding secured loans (which is part of the long-term strategy and factored into goeasy's year guidance), 2) higher non-performing loans and more aggressive collections tactics that cause more loans not to accrue interest, and 3) management likely building in a degree of conservatism. [We see an] attractive opportunity to buy a midteens grower at a discounted multiple."
