The company reports a Total Revenue of $3.99B for the trailing twelve months, with a corresponding Net Income of $1.02B and an EBITDA of $6.01B. The substantial gap between the $3.99B revenue and the $1.02B net income reveals a cost structure where operating expenses, likely including high fixed costs associated with banking infrastructure and personnel, consume a significant portion of top-line earnings before reaching the bottom line. Regarding cash flow dynamics, Free Cash Flow is listed as N/A, suggesting that non-cash operating expenses such as loan loss provisions or deferred tax assets may be offsetting cash generation in the standard calculation, or that cash flow data is not currently disclosed for this reporting period. The company maintains a robust liquidity position with Cash reserves of $1.34B against Total Debt of $5.73B, resulting in a Debt to Equity ratio of 231.15 which indicates a highly leveraged balance sheet typical of the banking industry where debt funding is a primary source of capital. Despite the high leverage, the Current Ratio stands at 1.76, indicating that the company possesses sufficient liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities more than once and one-quarter over. The margins presented are Gross Margin at 76.0%, Operating Margin at 51.7%, and Profit Margin at 25.5%, showing that while gross efficiency is high, the operating and profit margins reflect the intense competitive pressures and regulatory costs inherent in regional banking. Return on Equity and Return on Assets are both listed as N/A, preventing a direct assessment of management effectiveness in generating returns on the capital base and assets held.
Valuation Assessment
Valuation multiples for AGI Inc show a Trailing P/E ratio of 6.75 compared to a Forward P/E of 4.17, implying that the market expects earnings to grow significantly in the future to justify the lower forward multiple. The Price to Book ratio is recorded at 11.59, which suggests the market values the company at a substantial premium over its book value, likely reflecting the perceived stability of its specialized lending portfolio and brand value in Brazil. Alternative valuation metrics include a Price to Sales ratio of 0.33 and an EV/EBITDA of 0.94, suggesting the stock is priced very cheaply relative to sales and enterprise earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. The stock price has fluctuated within a 52-week range with a High of $12.21 and a Low of $8.01, though the current trading price is not explicitly provided to calculate the exact percentage deviation, the valuation metrics suggest the market is pricing in significant upside potential from the low end of the range. The Beta value is listed as N/A, meaning there is no available data to quantify the stock's volatility relative to the broader market benchmark.
Growth & Income
Revenue Growth and Earnings Growth for the year-over-year period are both listed as N/A, which precludes a direct comparison of whether earnings are growing faster or slower than revenue in the most recent reporting period. The company does not pay dividends, as evidenced by a Dividend Yield of N/A and a Payout Ratio of 0.0%, indicating that the company retains all earnings to fund operations, pay down debt, or reinvest in its technology and lending platforms rather than distributing income to shareholders. This reinvestment strategy is common for regional banks seeking to expand market share and enhance capital adequacy ratios without relying on external equity issuance. Consequently, the overall growth and income profile for AGI Inc is currently characterized by a focus on capital retention and operational scaling rather than providing current income streams to investors.
