<h3>Valuation Highlights</h3>
<p>The stock is trading below the stock market’s historic average P/E ratio of 15- 17x, whereas in terms of P/BV multiple the stock is quite expensive compared to the average industry ratio of 2.4x. This coupled with the company’s low credit rating could imply that GOEASY is not an undervalued stock.</p>
<h3>View</h3>
<p>The company’s business by its nature is risky. Short-term momentum should remain in favor for the company and the stock though, given the continued growth and strong profit margins observed in the first three quarters of 2021 along with the management’s positive guidance for years 2022–2023. The company looks fundamentally in quite strong position but underlying strength when it comes to its status as credit provider is not equally healthy. Its low credit rating is a major issue of concern and does not justify its valuation when the P/BV ratio is being considered. GOEASY is a combination of a growth stock and speculative stock.</p>
