Bull Of The Day: Mogo (MOGO)

MOGO

Mogo (MOGO - Free Report) is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) that has a great growth divergence.  I see a strong an A for the Zacks Style Score for Growth and an F for the Zacks Style Score for Value.  Value investors and growth investors are looking for different things, so when I see a big divergence in the style scores I know I am on the right path.  Let’s take a deeper look at this stock as it is the Bull of the Day.

Monster Valuation

Over the weekend another player in the space (Stripe) raised $600M at a $95B valuation, and that will probably serve as a long term driver for this stock.  MOGO has a $350M valuation… but that should be moving higher here as the stocks looks like it is about to break out.

Earnings History

I always look at the earnings history as it tells me if management can effectively communicate with Wall Street.  In the case of MOGO, I see three beats in the last four quarters and the one time there wasn’t a beat it was an earnings meet.

These beats have been getting bigger and bigger, with the first one coming in 33% ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate.  The next was 71% and then 109%.

Bigger and bigger beats are just what we like to see.

Earnings Estimates

I see estimates for this quarter are holding still, but there was  a 1 cent improvement in the estimates for next quarter.

The full year is also holding still right now at a loss of 35 cents.

Next year is seeing some positive earnings estimate revisions.  I see that number moving from a loss of 34 cents to a loss of 30 cents.

This is the main reason this stock is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)

Valuation

Since there are no earnings, the PE is not there for us to lean on.  I don’t even see a price to book for this stock.  I see an 8x price to sales, which is a lot… but margins are moving in the right direction and should really move when the company becomes profitable.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.

This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
