CompuCredit Corp (CCRT)

CAPS Rating:
**

A provider of various credit and related financial services and products to or associated with the underserved, or sub-prime, consumer credit market, and to 'un-banked' consumers.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I wish I would have waited a day to red thumb this again, but the announcement that they are spinning off the micro-loan business is just admitting that they are worried about government regulation. The stock will just have that much further to drop.

Currently priced for less than its cash on the balance sheet and at a fraction of book value CCRT offers investors the opportunity for outstanding risk-adjusted return s over the next few years. Expect returns of a few hundred percent as the market comes to its senses and assigns a much more appropriate valuation (BV at minimum).

Liquidity is not a concern here as the company will not need to renew the majority of its facilities until 2010. Between the cash generated from operations and its large cash position ccrt should have the liquidity to not only whether the storm but to opportunistically take advantage of todays environment for the benefit of shareholders.

Underwriting has held up well so asset value should remain intact. At today's price investors have a gigantic margin of safety supposing it does not.

Opportunistic debt repurchases (which should meaningfully reduce interest expense, therefore growing ccrt's cash generation capabilities in the near term) and stock buybacks (which should be enormously accretive considering shares are presently trading hands at a fraction of book) should provide tremendous value longer term for shareholders.
