Current Share Price Analysis

The share price at the time of analy­sis was $17.40. This price is above our intrin­sic val­ues (IV1 and IV2), sug­gest­ing that the stock might be over­val­ued at this time rel­a­tive to its fun­da­men­tal intrin­sic val­ue.

Average Daily Turnover

With an aver­age dai­ly trade of $1.968 mil­lion, Cred­it Corp Group Lim­it­ed is clas­si­fied as a Large-Cap stock. This clas­si­fi­ca­tion may present chal­lenges for poten­tial investors, par­tic­u­lar­ly regard­ing exit strate­gies. How­ev­er, the sub­stan­tial trad­ing vol­ume pro­vides good liq­uid­i­ty for most investors.

Yield vs. Bank Debt

The com­pa­ny’s yield is low­er than the mort­gage rate, which may deter cer­tain yield-focused investors who might seek returns that exceed typ­i­cal mort­gage rates.

Financial Health Assessment

The finan­cial health rat­ing is strong, and the trend is increas­ing. This indi­cates robust finan­cial sta­bil­i­ty, which is a pos­i­tive sign for long-term investors.

Price-to-Earnings Ratio

The cur­rent PE ratio is 14.76 which is not the low­est in the last three years, so it does­n’t score on that met­ric. The fore­cast EPS for year 1 is 141.7 cents, sug­gest­ing mod­er­ate growth expec­ta­tions.

Price to Operating Cash Flow Ratio

The Price to Oper­at­ing Cash Flow ratio stands at 3.02, which is below the thresh­old of 7. This indi­cates that it would take approx­i­mate­ly 3.02 years for the com­pa­ny’s oper­a­tions to gen­er­ate enough cash to cov­er the stock price, sug­gest­ing poten­tial under­val­u­a­tion.

Share Price in Relation to Book Value

The cur­rent share price is above the book price, which is a neg­a­tive indi­ca­tor. Addi­tion­al­ly, it does not pass the “book plus 30%” test, indi­cat­ing that investors might be pay­ing a pre­mi­um for the com­pa­ny’s equi­ty.

Ownership Structure

The direc­tors hold 0.11% of shares, which is not con­sid­ered sig­nif­i­cant (less than 10%). This lev­el of own­er­ship indi­cates some align­ment with share­hold­er inter­ests, though it could be stronger for bet­ter align­ment.

Recent Market Sentiment

The com­pa­ny has recent­ly expe­ri­enced a new 3‑point upturn, sig­nalling a poten­tial pos­i­tive shift in mar­ket sen­ti­ment.

Consistency of Equity Growth

The com­pa­ny does not have con­sis­tent­ly increas­ing equi­ty, which is a neg­a­tive indi­ca­tor of man­age­ment qual­i­ty and may raise con­cerns about the sus­tain­abil­i­ty of growth.
