Transaction Capital | Paying a growth premium

Transaction Capital (TCP) reported 18% HEPS growth despite a challenging economy. SA Taxi and TCRS have generated a five-year CAGR of 21% and 29% respectively. We believe SA Taxi's vertically integrated business model supports high margins. Aggressive book buying (R1.2bn in FY '19) supported TCRS's growth. Despite the defensive nature of the operations, any improvement in SA economic growth would support an acceleration in TCRS's collections revenue. The Group has excess capital of R950m, which we expect to be invested into opportunities within SA and global debt collection. Despite the Group's growth prospects, we believe TCP trades at a premium rating. In our view, the share is fairly valued at current levels.
