John Hecht has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Jefferson Capital, Inc.’s strong market position and growth potential. The company is a tech-driven debt collector with a diversified asset class and geographic presence, operating in the US, Canada, the UK, and Latin America. This diversification allows JCAP to capitalize on favorable macroeconomic trends and expand into new markets, such as Mexico and several European countries, which presents significant growth opportunities.
JCAP’s financial performance stands out with superior revenue growth and return on equity compared to its peers, driven by its efficient operations and focus on asset diversification. The company benefits from a favorable collections environment, with an ample supply of charge-off portfolios and strong consumer payment rates. Additionally, JCAP’s strong regulatory and compliance record has enabled it to focus on expansion while its competitors face regulatory challenges. These factors contribute to the Buy rating, with a price target of $29.00, reflecting the company’s potential for sustained long-term growth.
