The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

To those of you who remember this ticker from the old Fool boards you may recall that this is another potential value acorn that Jim uncovered.

BFH is a private label credit card isuer that acquired a BNPL business a few years ago in an effort to stay relevant to milennials and gen z

The 1 year (down 30%) and 5 year (down 80%) charts are terrible.

Some metrics
PE 3 (gapp and non gaap); P/B .5; ROE 19%; NIM 18%. Yield 3%

The latest investor presentation issued in May at the time of the last earnings announcement might lead a fella to believe that the business is doing just fine and moving in the right direction: s28.q4cdn.com - Investor Deck FINAL

Based on past performance I assume that this is the proverbial value trap, but would love to be convinced otherwise.

Jim, or anyone else?

PS - Have appreciated the discussion of DG both here and on the Falling Knives board. Have built up a 1.5% position over the last few days....

Thanks again to Manlobbi for creating this forum...
