Deep-value specialty lender at 5.7x earnings and ~0.58x book, with growing profits and a potential Bank-monetization kicker.

P/E 5.7 · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~568% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

Medallion Financial is a specialty consumer lender (95% of the book is RV, boat, collector-car and home-improvement paper originated by its FDIC-regulated Medallion Bank) trading at just 5.7x FY2025 diluted EPS of $1.78 and roughly 0.58x book — equity of $409M against 23.5M shares is ~$17.4/share versus a $10.12 price. FY2025 net income of $43.0M grew 20% YoY, EPS grew 17%, equity rose 10.4%, retained earnings jumped 24.7% and cash grew to $136M. Operating cash flow of $126M comfortably covers the $11.0M dividend. For a levered lender at 5.99x liabilities/equity, that combination of a double-digit ROE (10.5%), a shrinking long-term debt load (-7.0%), and a large discount to tangible book is a classic value setup.
