Investment Thesis — PRA Group, Inc.
The market is anchored to PRAA's recent losses and high leverage, overlooking that its distressed asset pipeline is set to improve as consumer delinquencies rise and European operations stabilize. Investors are mispricing the optionality in recoveries and the company's ability to reprice portfolios in a higher-rate environment.

- Improved collection rates on existing portfolios
- Stabilization or reduction in funding costs
- Short covering driven by positive earnings surprise
Risk Factors
