EZCorp: A Stock That Is Likely To Benefit From A Recession

  • EZCorp's stock has surged 52.71% since my initial "hold" rating, outperforming the S&P 500, driven by strong financials and expansion in Latin America. The company benefits from economic slowdowns, as more consumers turn to pawn shops for instant cash, boosting loans and inventory sales. Despite a higher EV-to-EBITDA multiple, EZCorp remains attractive due to its solid financial performance and potential gains from economic uncertainty.
