Considering that Q2 was pretty strong, and that the underlying metrics have improved, I wouldn't be surprised to see the share price trend back towards $6.
Net income from operations (operating income minus income taxes) was about $5.3M, or $0.33 per share. That's $1.1M more than last year, $0.07 more per share.
Provision for credit losses was $5.4M compared to $6.2M last year.
On the qualitative side, the overall quality of the credit issued is at its highest in proportion (66%). Deferrals were reduced further in July compared to June (at 33% deferrals left vs 50% in June). They already have very high provisions set aside (over 15% of loans).
If Q2 was the new run-rate, we'd be looking at $1.30 forward EPS. I don't think that will be the case because lower of originations which will affect the top line and their financial margin may see higher provisions. If you lower top line by $1M on average and use 25% of revenue as provision for credit losses (was 18% last quarter and 21% last year), you would get $0.80 forward EPS. I think that's a decent expectation for the next 4 quarters. As to the dividend, well it will depend on banks willingness to fund originations. As long as the banks don't, they won't resume a dividend as they need that cash to generate new revenues.
