  1. Dear Van doesn't come around much anymore.

    RDDT it's been very bad down 45% in 3 months. So the problems are deeper than a general tech sell of. I think their expenses are out of control./

    They have $1.8 B in cash! Not too much debt but 12% short interest. So I would maybe follow that short interest and wait for it to shrink,

    RBLX would be the play now for this weird sub sector.

    They don't buy Bitcoing do they? That's another problem for these dip shit companies.

    On their balance sheet cash from ' investing " is minus $440 million. How is that possible unless you are blindly buying bitcoin. I don't know that I'm just guessing.

    This stk should be $113.

    From a TA look I would look to get long @$73--$79 //

    PE 85 = ridiculous right./

    Drops to PE 43 in 2026<------- So time it right and there's some good earn in the future. ~si

    Well, that's why I structured my initial response like I did. I think it was $104 then. If you didn't get any, I'd start today using the same formula.

    EZCORP, Inc. (EZPW)
    • Market Capitalization: $852.65M

    • Sector: Financials

    • Industry: Consumer Finance

    • Quant Sector Ranking (as of 4/2/25): 21 out of 687

    • Quant Industry Ranking (as of 4/2/25): 7 out of 39

    • Quant Rating: Strong Buy
    As a leading provider of pawn services across more than 1,200 stores in the U.S. and Latin America, EZCORP stands out as a resilient investment in uncertain economic environments. Historically, pawn shops perform very well during difficult economic periods or recessions. They have low-risk business models that are secured by collateral that is easy to recover. Gold prices tend to rise during periods of economic uncertainty, and pawn shops specialize in precious metals. The company benefits from a dual-revenue model combining pawn service charges and merchandise sales for cost-conscious consumers.

    EZPW demonstrated remarkable performance in Q1 FY2025, with total revenue increasing 10% Y/Y and Pawn Loans Outstanding (PLO) growing 16%. This was partly driven by digital transformation efforts that yielded impressive results, with a 17% increase in diluted EPS Y/Y and an overall‘B-’ Profitability Grade.

    Given EZPW’s dominant market position and counter-cyclical business model, coupled with strong fundamentals, this stock appears well-positioned to weather economic turbulence brought on by tariffs.

    • Quant Industry Ranking (as of 4/2/25): 1 out of 22

    • Quant Rating: Hold
    Casella Waste System stands out as a tariff-proof stock due to its exclusive focus on domestic waste management markets across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. Waste management is an essential service, inoculating the company in the event of a severe economic downturn. The company demonstrated exceptional performance in 2024, achieving over 20% growth in revenues, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow—marking three consecutive years of 20%+ EBITDA Growth. CWST’s strategy centers on smart acquisitions, with eight totaling $200M in 2024 alone and an expansive pipeline on the horizon.

    “As we look ahead, our M&A pipeline continues to be very active with over 100 opportunities and roughly $700 million of revenues in various stages of diligence and development. The strength of our balance sheet and our robust liquidity positions us very well for continued return-focused growth,” saidNed Coletta, President of Casella Waste Systems Inc.

    The success of Casella’s strategy is reflected in its ‘A’ Growth Grade. The company sports a FWD EBITDA Growth that is 131% above the sector median, coupled with a FWD Operating Cash Flow Growth of 17% vs. the sector’s 9%.

    This has carried over to strong profitability metrics, including a TTM EBITDA Margin that is more than 50% above the industrials sector and a whopping $5.66 in Cash Per Share. These strong fundamentals have helped propel the company’s price momentum; CWST has strongly outperformed the sector over the last year, returning nearly 16% compared with the sector median of -6.16%. With phenomenal financial results, strong pricing power, and a robust acquisition pipeline, Casella’s domestic waste management focus provides investors with a stable growth vehicle that operates independently of tariff policies.
