Corpay: Prominent On GARP Screens And To Benefit From An America First Policy
Summary Corpay is trading at a discount despite a 37% rise in share price, outperforming the S&P 500's 20% increase. CPAY's fundamentals and growth projections suggest further upside, maintaining a BUY rating with a target price of $431 to $475. Q3 highlights include 6% YOY revenue growth, improved EBITDA margins, and strong cash generation, with significant share repurchases and a robust balance sheet. President Trump's America First policy is expected to boost domestic economic activity, potentially revising CPAY's revenue and earnings growth higher.

Corpay: Fairly Valued At Best
Summary Corpay has a diversified revenue model with significant contributions from its Vehicle Payments and Corporate Payments segments. The company's growth prospects are supported by the increasing adoption of AP automation and the recent acquisitions of Paymerang and GPS Capital Markets. Key risks include reliance on technology, credit risk, and potential profit reduction from very low fuel prices despite increased transaction volumes. Corpay's strong performance is evident with 18% YoY growth in Corporate Payments and a 14% YoY increase in EPS. The valuation is, however, subject to debate as CPAY seems overvalued compared to a relevant peer and the sector but fairly valued historically.

Corpay: On The Cusp Of A Watershed Moment
Summary This quarter we added to Corpay (formerly FLEETCOR), a position we initiated in the fourth quarter of 2023. Over the last five years, CPAY has seen market sentiment toward the company's core fuel card business sour. In the next couple years, we believe B2B Payments will overtake the fuel card segment to become Corpay's biggest business. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

High Quality Corpay Drops Almost 20% And Is Now A Bargain
Summary Corpay's earnings per share are projected to grow at an average rate of 13-15% annually, despite interest rate pressures. We consider the stock to be undervalued at 13.6x forward earnings, with potential for re-rating to the 15-20x range. CPAY reported inline first quarter results, with slight misses in revenue and a 2% cut to EPS guidance due to interest rates and currency weakness. With the stock down 20% since its highs in April, we view the correction as overdone and the buy thesis intact. We target a range of $220 to $440 on the shares, implying solid risk-reward at current levels. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • May 23
Corpay: Short-Term Concerns And A Predictable Business
Summary Corpay is a highly predictable business that seeks to unify payments for clients who require frequent work trips or who operate fleets of vehicles. The company has EBITDA margins of more than 50%, leaving clues to the high added value of Corpay's services. Management reduced its guidance during Q1 2024 and now expects to grow around 7% only, but made it clear that this should be temporary. Thanks to this short-term fear, the company is currently trading at a P/E of 20, which is a multiple below its historical average of 25. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Apr 18
Corpay: Good Growth Company Trading At A Discount
Summary Corpay (formerly Fleetcor Technologies) reported lower than expected revenues and EPS, causing a drop in share price. The company's high returns on capital are driven by a strong brand and technological innovation. Corpay's ability to leverage its brand and add new services to its product suite creates a competitive advantage. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 17
Fleetcor Technologies: Rating Upgrade As Valuation Is Cheap
Summary I upgraded my recommendation to buy, as I believe the market has overreacted to the 4Q23 miss and the current valuation offers attractive upside. The 4Q23 miss was primarily due to timing issues and weather-related factors, not a structural impairment to FLT's growth outlook. FLT's transition to a broader Vehicle Payments business aligns with the growing EV industry and the company's innovative product offerings contribute to a positive outlook.
