On the stock market since 1982, it operates in the world of money and finance. It has 1,235 employees. Now — the numbers.
This is an established company with proven profits.
That much dependence is a risk in itself: if this one line weakens, the whole company feels it directly.
Executives buying with their own money is usually read as confidence in the company’s future.
We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.
A score of 50 means class average.
Profit power and business quality lead the class.
For a bank, strength is measured by capital buffers and reserves — not cash minus debt.
Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.
This grade is a blend: the profit side is strong, the sales tempo slow.
The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.
Financial Strength: The capital buffer looks thin next to its class; less room to absorb a rough stretch.
The stock trades below its recent peak — about 10% off the top. A pullback, not a collapse.
It met or beat analyst expectations in 8 of the last 8 quarters — consistency is a promise kept.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 41 buys and 25 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
It pays out $0.54 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.
Over the last 3 years, sales fell about 2% a year on average. Profit is holding up, but a shrinking business is a risk worth watching.
The balance sheet offers little cushion against a rough stretch. Report-card grade: 11/100.
On our five-subject report card, PRG sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”
The takeaway: PRG is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
