This week, I’m changing things up a bit and reviewing an interesting non-credit PA trade idea in anticipation of the upcoming Fed easing cycle. This company is effectively a levered bet on US rates without the full downside risks of high leverage (I know this sounds a bit ridiculous).

Fundamentally, the stock trades at a significant discount to peers (>50%), offers an above-market dividend yield (>5%), and is poised for outsized earnings growth, potentially jumpstarting a flywheel effect for years to come. And before you ask, no, this is not an emerging market company.

I think the company has the potential to compound earnings double digits over the foreseeable future, which could re-rate it higher from its current “value stock” multiple. While there’s some risk that this could be a “value trap,” given the company’s size, it could also be a logical acquisition target in a sector experiencing significant consolidation.

I think the opportunity exists due to the company’s relatively small scale, niche (out-of-favor) focus, and limited trading history.
