LTD/Equity is a bit high. I suspect bad credit will increase at greater rate than normal d/t US and worldwide economic conditions. I suspect this company will have a more difficult time collecting on bad debts.
Great stock, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the mid-teens in coming months.

I can't imagine that rate cuts coming down the pipeline will help PRAA in any way. The business of selling debt short is also not the most effective way to increase capital.

score of 4 on my 12 point scale. 60% of stocks scoring 6 or less have underperformed the S&P500

Bottom line is that this company is buying debt hand over fist, but they will have major problems collecting in the near term. I see earnings dropping over the year. I love this stock in the 3-5 year timeframe. Underperforming for the year.

I was astonished to find out how many outperform votes go to this stock. Obviously, nobody read the balance sheet.

This one still has plenty of room on the down side.

CEO just sold 10,000 shares.

I'm out, plus read the rip off report on this company at ripoffreport.com.

This company is not for me.

Better ways to make money than how these guys go about it.

This kind of stock is so hard to peg. PRAA is all about collecting debt. In an ideal world, PRAA and companies like it would have no trouble re-acquiring monies for their clients, but it is a difficult process that no one denies. Still, this company's income is derived from 1) increased debt and 2) increased ability to collect.

Yet, the housing market is down and banks are getting more and more stingy with who gets loans (especially house loans). Too, cars are getting cheaper and cheaper. Let's face it, it is the home and auto market that drives the big dollars to the collectors, not Blockbuster late fees.

Overheated, overpriced. Buy moderately priced competitors instead.
