It offers pawn loans secured by personal property and retails merchandise from collateral seizures and outright purchases, including jewelry, electronics, tools, and precious metals.
-
It generates income through interest on pawn loans, merchandise sales, and commodity sales of jewelry and precious metals.
-
It serves cash- and credit-constrained consumers in the United States and Latin America, with an extensive retail presence in several countries.
FirstCash Holdings, Inc. operates a large network of retail pawn shops in the United States and Latin America, offering short-term secured loans and selling confiscated collateral at retail. As of December 31, 2021, the company operated 2,825 stores in the United States and Latin America, supporting a diversified revenue base. Its focus on serving unbanked populations and leveraging retail operations for both lending and merchandise sales provides a defensible business model in the nonbank lending sector.
It can sometimes be difficult to discern the intent behind an institutional transaction. That’s certainly the case with this sale by Profit Investment, a Maryland-based investment manager. These are the key takeaways for investors.
First, Profit Investment completely closed its position in FirstCash Holdings shares, reducing its overall holdings from $2.6 million to zero. However, that wasn’t the only move the investment manager made during the quarter. In total, Profit Investment sold about 69% of its total shares, reducing its overall share position from $79.5 million to $24.7 million.
In light of this, Profit’s decision to sell its entire stake in FirstCash could be seen as part of a broader, portfolio-wide decision by investment managers to reduce risk and raise cash. Additionally, FirstCash stock’s recent performance also lends some weight to the theory, as FirstCash stock has advanced 57% over the past year, easily outpacing the S&P 500’s one-year return of 12%.
In any case, investors would do well to consider FirstCash stock, even after this recent sale. The company operates a network of nearly 3,000 pawn shops in the United States and Latin America. Over the past five years, FirstCash shares have generated a total return of 160%, which equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21%. In fact, the company’s long history of generating consistent growth combined with consistent profitability makes it a name investors should know.
