SAN DIEGO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encore Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECPG) (“Encore” or the “Company”), an international specialty finance company, announced today that on July 22, 2026 (the “Redemption Notice Date”), it has issued a notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to holders of the Company's 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (CUSIP No. 292554 AP7) (the “Notes”), calling all $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for redemption on September 24, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”). The Company's redemption right in respect of the Notes arises pursuant to Section 14.07 of the Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Truist Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as a result of the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock having exceeded 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the Redemption Notice Date.

Earnings guidance of $13.00 per share, an increase of 19% YoY. I see two key secular tailwinds as being persistent, not temporary: high total consumer loan volume, along with elevated charge-off rates. This alone warrants a small position, in my opinion.

Encore Capital still looks inexpensive after its rally, with low earnings multiples and higher forecasts offset by leverage, legal costs and concentration risks.
