(TSE:GSY), it has a great history of performance and a buoyant future outlook not yet reflected in the share price. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in understanding where the figures come from and want to see the analysis, read the full report on goeasy here.
High growth potential established dividend payer
GSY is an attractive stock for growth-seeking investors, with an expected earnings growth of 23% in the upcoming year. Earnings growth is paired with an eye-catching top-line trajectory also doubling over the same period, which indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven by unsustainable cost-cutting activities. In the previous year, GSY has ramped up its bottom line by 71%, with its latest earnings level surpassing its average level over the last five years. Not only did GSY outperformed its past performance, its growth also surpassed the Consumer Finance industry expansion, which generated a 25% earnings growth. This paints a buoyant picture for the company.
GSY is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. According to my intrinsic value of the stock, which is driven by analyst consensus forecast of GSY's earnings, investors now have the opportunity to buy into the stock to reap capital gains. Also, relative to the rest of CA companies with similar levels of earnings, GSY's share price is trading below the group's average. This supports the theory that GSY is potentially underpriced.
