Gold's Rally Is A Boon For EZCorp
Tariffs and economic indicators suggest the US may face a recession, benefiting pawn shops like EZCORP due to increased demand for alternative financing. During economic downturns, pawn shops thrive as consumers avoid selling equity at a loss and turn to pawning valuable items, especially gold jewelry. EZCORP has a strong financial profile, with 68% of its inventory in jewelry, positioning it well to capitalize on rising gold prices and tighter credit markets.

EZCORP: Load Up On This Tariff Winner
EZCORP is poised to benefit from Trump's tariffs, as its pawn brokerage business thrives when lower-income consumers face economic hardships. Tariffs act as regressive taxes, disproportionately affecting lower-income households, potentially driving more consumers to utilize EZCORP's pawn loan services. EZCORP's valuation remains attractive at 11.8x FWD P/E, with its business model being relatively immune to traditional credit risks.
