Episode Details

In the struggling financial sector, Bread Financial and Encore Capital Group are stocks to avoid due to declining revenue and high debt. Bread Financial, with a market cap of $3.24 billion, saw revenue drop 5.3% and EPS fall faster at 9.2% over two years. Encore Capital Group, valued at $1.52 billion, grew revenue by just 3.3% yearly over five years, has low returns on equity, and heavy debt at six times net debt to Ebitda.

Charles Schwab, however, is a bright spot with a market cap of $166.4 billion. Its revenue climbed 15.4% annually over five years, and EPS surged 24.9% in the last two years, boosted by smart share buybacks and a strong 14.4% return on equity. Trading around $95 per share, Schwab is a solid choice for growth in wealth management.
