Here's Why Hold Strategy is Apt for WEX Stock Right Now
Read MoreHide Full Article
WEX Inc. (WEX - Free Report) is currently benefiting from strong organic revenue growth, driven by strong volume across its business.
The company’s revenues for 2022 and 2023 are expected to increase 22.8% and 6.2% year over year, respectively. Its 2022 and 2023 earnings are expected to grow 44.9% and 5.4% year over year, respectively.
WEX’s Tailwinds
WEX’s top line continues to grow organically, driven by its extensive network of fuel and service providers, transaction volume growth, product excellence and marketing capabilities. In the second quarter of 2022, organic revenue growth was 22%.
Product and service quality and a deep understanding of customers’ operational needs have enabled the company to achieve revenue stability with the help of long-standing strategic relationships, multi-year contracts and high contract renewal rates. Revenues grew 30% in the second quarter of 2022.
WEX has been actively acquiring and investing in companies in the United States as well as internationally to expand its product and service offerings, thereby boosting its revenue growth and enhancing scalability. The June 2021 acquisition of benefitexpress has expanded WEX’s offerings in benefits administration by bringing in a complementary suite of solutions to its Health offerings.
Some Risks
WEX’s current ratio at the end of the second quarter of 2022 was 1.16, lower than the current ratio of 1.21 reported at the end of the previous quarter. A decline in the current ratio is not desirable as it indicates that the company may have problems meeting its short-term debt obligations.
Zacks Rank and Stocks to Consider
WEX currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors interested in the broader Zacks Business Services sector can consider some better-ranked stocks like Avis Budget Group, Inc. (CAR - Free Report) , Genpact Limited (G - Free Report) and CRA International, Inc. (CRAI - Free Report) .
