EVERTEC (EVTC) just locked in a new 150 million dollar term loan and immediately used it to pay down its revolving credit line, a balance sheet shuffle the market has welcomed.
See our latest analysis for EVERTEC.
The move comes after a choppy stretch, with a roughly 3.7% 1 month share price return but a weaker 1 year total shareholder return near 16% in the red, hinting that short term momentum is stabilising while longer term sentiment is still rebuilding.
If this kind of balance sheet reset has your attention, it could be a good moment to explore other fast growing stocks with high insider ownership that might be setting up for their next leg higher.
With shares still down over the past year despite steady revenue and profit growth, markets seem cautiously optimistic but unconvinced. Is EVERTEC quietly undervalued here, or already reflecting its next chapter of expansion?
With EVERTEC last closing at $29.59 against a narrative fair value of $32.80, the story implies room for upside if its expansion plays out.
Ongoing modernization of proprietary technology platforms (including Sinqia's integration and upgrades) and repricing legacy contracts are improving operational efficiencies and margins, with management indicating these benefits will continue into the next year, supporting higher EBITDA and free cash flow.
Curious how modest growth targets, rising margins and a re rated earnings multiple combine to justify a higher value? Want to see the full playbook?
Result: Fair Value of $32.80 (UNDERVALUED)
