Conviction Insights Report - February 2021
Tue 2nd February, 2021

Conviction Insights represents our highest conviction calls from across our coverage universe. This month we add Plenti Group (PLT) to our Conviction Insights lineup. A leading technology-focused non-bank lender focused on the personal, automotive and renewable energy sectors, its addition is driven by 3 key factors:

  1. Attractive loan origination growth in the significant consumer automotive and personal loan segments, while improving its average borrower credit score and reducing risk. 
  2. The establishment of warehouse facilities with established domestic institutional banks reduces funding costs and has positioned the company well for profitability medium-term.
  3. Attractive valuation, trading on 4.5x EV / revenue compared to peers at 5.7x.

The full report covers recent developments across Conviction insights, unpacks our attraction to each stock, and delves into potential risks and catalysts we have identified.
