DKAM Donville Kent Asset Management Jason & Jesse | “Propel's quarter was impressive, especially considering the macro backdrop. Their story is different from GoEasy because most of the business is done in the US and the UK. They recently announced receiving their US banking license, which allows them to reach new customers and geographies they previously couldn't. Similar to GoEasy, Propel's valuation trades in a historical pattern. Earlier this year we trimmed our position as the multiple was at the high end. With this correction, we have significantly added back to our position as the stock traded down to a historically cheap valuation. Propel reported Q3 earnings: Revenue $152M +30%, Loans $435M +31%, Total Originations Funded $205M +37%, Annualized Revenue Yield 113%, Adj. EBITDA $32.3M +12%, EBITDA Margin 21%, Net Income $15M +16%, ROE 25%. The company increased its dividend by 8%, now yielding 3.2%. BSD Analysis: Propel runs an online lending platform model that can scale fast, but it also scales risk fast. The moat is underwriting tech, distribution, and product speed—not deep switching costs. The concentration risk is credit quality and funding access during stress. Growth looks great when liquidity is plentiful and losses are contained. The failure mode is a macro downturn where origination slows while delinquency rises. Regulation is a constant wildcard for fintech lenders. The bull case is continued share gain in underserved segments with controlled losses. The bear case is margin compression and dilution if capital gets expensive. Propel is a credit-cycle lever with a tech wrapper.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
