This only matters if you invest in 1. Overvalued companies and 2. Indices. I promise you something cheap and boring like GIS or WU aren't dumping 40 percent from their already near low positions.
He’s honestly one of my favorites when it comes to this kind of stuff…WU TANG!
Update: my $WU $6.30 call was on the money; I wish I hadn’t sold so soon. I wanted to hold it long so I wanted to avoid a wash-sale but I missed out on serious gains.
WU will get bought. Already said no to PEquity. $9-$10 range
WU private equity buyout off near $10. At $7 it's interesting 🤔
Almost a “penny stock,” I mentioned $SBS on Friday. I’ll keep evaluating the valuation, but a lower “price” could mean discounted shares from people who don’t j ow what they’re selling. This is becoming a solid Brazilian/emerging market water resources/utilities dividend/growth pick. I’m not spiraling this weekend as I expected I would like I did with $WU. Check out this headline that isn’t showing up on the brokers, even Fidelity: [SABESP Partners with Vivo and IDEMIA Secure Transactions, to Power the World's Largest IoT Initiative for a Secure and More Sustainable Water Management in Brazil](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/articles/sabesp-partners-vivo-idemia-secure-132900898.html)
Well, it’s a dividend payer. More or less they’ve increased their dividend over that time period. It’s got a healthy options chain as well. It’s a similar thesis to $WU but no violent drop (yet). It’s pretty hard to get it to dip tbh. Thanks for your brutal honesty BTW; I love it!
Thank you for following up! I’ve gotta get that one; someone else recommended it to me too. Now I’m going to obsess over $SBS all weekend because I’ve bought too heavily on the way down like with $WU. I’m feeling good about it though.
I'm up 10% on WU and many others cause of their call outs and DD... consider me subscribed BRO
Alright, I gave you all an oversold earnings over-reaction with $WU; now I'm loading into $SSTK 🤙
Oh wow, apparently there are rumors of a $WU buyout, $10/share, right after a bunch of “analysts” downgraded their price targets. Who would’ve thought? I definitely didn’t call all of this…
I sold out of $WU earlier like a dummy; hold for the squeeze I guess. I told ya so - I can pick stocks better than I can trade 'em... 🤙
Glad I bought that $WU dip! I was a bit over-exposed so I'm trimming on strength, but it keeps rising!
# [Western Union - Western Union Launches Stablecard in Partnership with Rain](https://ir.westernunion.com/news/archived-press-releases/press-release-details/2026/Western-Union-Launches-Stablecard-in-Partnership-with-Rain/default.aspx) ($WU)
Both $CAPS & $WU are showing strength. I'm glad I'm still holding those 2 & loaded aggressively into $WU to get my average down; I should've doubled down @ $6.30...
It's interesting to me! It fits right into the "invest in companies whose products you use" approach I've ben honing. I wouldn't touch Wise or any of the other methods of transferring money honestly, & a lot of them aren't as good as people claim for international transfers (exchange rates, fees, etc.). If $WU can nail this digital integration, they'll be positioned to continue dominating the game into the future. That video does a great job highlighting how the stablecoin integration helps them cut costs, not only saving the customer money. I scaled out a *bit* on Friday because I felt over-exposed with 800 shares, but thinking more about the share structure & after watching this video, I'm back up to 750 shares. I'm starting a job today after not working for who knows how long, so I won't be able to watch this stuff like a hawk (\[part of the reason why I scaled out, but then thinking about it, it's freaking Western Union; I'm comfortable holding it). I'll probably just buy blocks of 50-100 at more round numbers if it drops, to get my average more responsibly down. The price target did drop but it's also a significant gain from today's prices, for a profitable, dividend-paying business (whose earnings are traditionally better in the second half of the year). Good to see you today & every day! 🤙
Man, you are passionate on WU, lol.

$WU, $CAPS, & chill… 🤙
And also don't forget crypto is also a competitor for WU and being used for transfers as well, today we use WISE, revolut, Ria, Remitly and such. I personally don't use crypto to move money, other people do it.
Thanks for following up, taking my post seriously, & being kind! It's nice to get the perspective of someone who's used their services first-hand. What service do you use now if you have to transfer money? I've got a few fintechs on my radar ($NU, $KSPI, $XP, $DLO), but they're all so regional. Don't you think that $WU has that overarching, global presence that has value to someone even if just in terms of a buyout? From the ER conference call, I think they're definitely moving/planning to move in the right direction with all of this; they just haven't been aggressive right out the gate. They mentioned digital currency/transfers & cost-cutting, among other things. They've recently announced several partnerships as well. It's wild that a profitable company is trading at such a low valuation IMO; I saw the same in $NOMD & it's been in a reversal for a while now; you could argue that $NOMD is similar in that they aren't the most competitive against their peers & yet they still have a business that's running, paying a dividend, etc.
Problem with WU is they were ahead the competition, and everyone has caught up to the business of transfering money cheaper than WU, from Fintech and even from third world countries like Kenya , Nigeria or developed like Brazil that created their own app/system to move the money cheaper than WU. I stopped using WU like 5 years ago, never looked back.
At [\~132% institutional ownership](https://fintel.io/so/us/wu), $WU isn’t “low-float,” it’s “no float.” 🤙 Earnings always causes exaggerated movements; a 17.4% drop on Friday wasn’t appropriate for the result of earnings & the guidance given in the conference call IMO.
Sure go ahead & pump $RUBI that’s literally been scamming people for years. $WU’s float is literally negative, nonexistent 😉 I haven’t had this much conviction in something since I was calling out $CAPS @ $.18…
Wanging on… 🧐 that’s one I haven’t heard before! For real though, thanks for stopping by, thanks for taking my post seriously & for your feedback, & I definitely support your “buy a share” idea. If everyone on this planet bought one share, $WU would be a whole different stock… 🥲 
I don't frequent this sub much. WU's been on my radar for a few weeks so I'm not that deep into it, but it's getting interesting. I still view this as too speculative to buy in now. They're locked in a race against time to scale their USDPT stablecoin and network before the decay of their legacy physical business overtakes the balance sheet. It's the very definition of a value trap unless you have conviction in their turnaround strategy. Management hasn't broken out how this is going to benefit the business other than that they expect a $50m cost reduction in 2026 and $200m in 2027, and additional interest yield income from depositing reserves at Anchorage Digital Bank rather than at local market banks. Still no real growth in the underlying business though until macro conditions change so this is likely a cigar butt play at best.
I knew posting this on this sub would be fun 😏 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks little alarms should be going off over this one. Regardless of the business, regardless of the ER, a 17.4% drop in a day is a cause for a stock being oversold. Chinese P&Ds have been popping off after being oversold like crazy with way less substance recently. I’m not comparing $WU to a Chinese P&D, but rather saying that there’s way more substance & opportunity to make money here. The institutions holding 130% shows they’re already all up in this making their money. Retail piling into this too & possibly catching the institutions a bit over-leveraged could turn into something. $XRX is a perfect example of this, & I think $WU is a better play than $XRX was…
[$WU](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/wu?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=WU&utm_content=template_1785616335199_v9vxiv) showing up on my scans again. The run into earnings is usually where it gets interesting. Still deciding for.
Haven't things been selling off despite good ERs recently? I've got no skin in the game, just commenting to comment. Then again, I haven't really touched tech recently. I'm over here scheming about $WU today; if $WEN & even $XR can get Reddit momentum behind it, a cash cow like $WU is a no-brainer IMO...
Thanks for following up, taking my post seriously, & responding in a kind way! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees some interesting details here. How long have you been watching it? Do you have a target entry price or do you want to see a more concrete catalyst? Running the FCF detail through Google (as I was more focused on buying shares than listening to the ER conference call), $WU leadership detailed that the dividend is covered & that the second half of the year is typically seasonally stronger. It's like you said, there are definitely a lot of speculative situations that have to play put for a clearer picture, but I wanted to dip my toes in just in case this dip doesn't last & the yield goes down. I'm glad you see the Reddit angle too, although the "save Wendy's" movement & the "squeeze $XRX" movement were both a bit misguided IMO; the difference with $WU is that I believe the value pro\[position is a lot higher than with $WEN, $XRX, or even $GME; between buying shares & earning a dividend, potential capital appreciation, & running an options strategy as well, there's money to be made here off of the institutions that're clearly hedging their bets. Somehow my posts never seem to make a difference on here; I always get called out for "shilling." I'm now banned on various email addresses from posting on ST, even though my approach was never "pumping" a stock while P&Ds run rampant on there. Perhaps my ideas just don't have an army of people mirroring my posts with their own just to keep the idea in people's minds...
Thanks for following up! I'm glad I'm not alone in not wanting to part with the position I worked hard to build. Who knows where the bottom is, but if retail ends up thinking that something like $WU is undervalued & starts to re-rate it, the deep-value yield can be gone for good. I've yet to get assigned on a CSP & run the full options wheel, but I recently started a position with $CIG (\~11% yield). I then instantly sold CCs on the \[position, & even though they're far-ish OTM, they also won't expire til December. Not wanting to be left without shares, I went ahead & doubled down. If it dips, I'll keep adding to this one; I think selling CCs on 50% of the position is the limit for me, which is also hard/a bit prohibitive since options are contracts for 100 shares. I'll get a strategy that works for me figured out soon enough; thanks for your feedback!
Watching this one. The near 15% dividend has a \~98% FCF payout ratio, so not sustainable. Their turnaround narrative hinges on the Intermex acquisition getting approved (NY is the last holdout; if it goes through it'll likely be with concessions), digitalization improvements, and cost reductions. WU's "Branded Digital" ecosystem is gaining traction; up 25% YOY in Q2, accounting for 43% of all corporate transfers. BUT, digitalization is less expensive and less profitable than face-to-face retail transfers, so even with digital transaction volumes going up, total revenue and margins are shrinking because digital users pay much lower fees (due to intense competition from fintech apps like Wise and Remitly). I can see this getting squeezed with a positive catalyst and sufficient retail hype like when Reddit was like "Let's save Wendy's!" lol.
WU has been on a consistent down trend for 7 years. It looks awful to me.
Scheming about how $WU is the next $GME 🤣 I need to go touch grass... What about you?
# Is $WU the next $GME? 🤔 [$WU shares available to short are dwindling](https://fintel.io/ss/us/wu) & [institutional ownership is 132%](https://fintel.io/so/us/wu) with positions continuing to roll in. Further, look at how [$WU's FINRA-exempt short volume absolutely skyrocketed yesterday, from single digit thousands to > 1.1M](https://fintel.io/ss/us/wu)\*... They had to pull some strings just to fill all of the orders for shares that weren't available. ***As the price drops, the dividend yield increases which is indirectly a cost of borrowing a stock.*** This (14.8%) dividend-paying stock dropped 17.3%, borderline pricing it for bankruptcy, even when the ER guidance was bullish & potential catalysts (Intramex acquisition, digital migration, cost-cutting) are clearly in the pipeline. They're navigating a volatile macroeconomic environment as many other companies are, still turning a profit & paying a dividend. This is textbook “be greedy when others are fearful” IMO, with institutional positioning telling all. They’ve got cash optionality to buy when things look bad; retail doesn’t. (I didn't know if I could even make a post about this since it isn't technically a penny stock) https://preview.redd.it/8rvgulb2wqgh1.png?width=1512&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc933c79ab509c154607337983801413163741d0 *\*These volumes typically reflect routine liquidity, hedging, or customer order facilitation rather than bearish speculation.*

I feel you; I'm taking a break from chasing runners. I just went hard loading in $WU today as it dipped an insane amount...
It's not a penny stock, but, it gives me serious $GME vibes... Bought $WU all the way down to $6.30, missed the $6.29s, $6.28s, & $6.27s dammit; someone else can have them. I'm at 800 shares for now, average considerably lower than yesterday's close; today seemed like a good buying day. I may add more to the position over time but I'll definitely be more conservative. I think I've played this one well so far around the ER; get a starter position going & then add in heavily since it dipped so hard. Looks like most of he dividends won't count as qualified dividends this time around but I'll definitely get them qualified the next time around... We're talking a cash cow of a business with a stable dividend whose yield only gets better as the price drops. This isn't a shitty REIT or something; its freaking Western Union... 
Do you have a minute to talk about our lord & savior $WU?  These are the same types of setups that go absolutely nuts after they sell off. [Insiders](https://fintel.io/sn/us/wu)/[institutions](https://fintel.io/so/us/wu) own > 130% of the company, it pays a way larger dividend than $XRX & that was all the hype with people shouting "sHoRt SqUeEzE!!!" from the tops of buildings. The dividend is safe, the earnings guidance was bullish going forward, transitioning to a more digital & cost-effective business model in many ways, & this is starting to be one of the cheapest valuations on NASDAQ IMO. Just give me 10 more shares @ $6.35 & I'll shut up & go away (for now)...
# $WU is going to squeeze so hard 🤣 The dividend yield is now sitting at 12.22%, they said it was safe in the call yesterday, [Fintel shows \~131% institutional ownership](https://fintel.io/so/us/wu) (how's that even possible?) & [6.68 days to cover](https://fintel.io/ss/us/wu). This a 175 year-old cash cow of a business that's like McDonald's or Starbucks, on every corner. It's a share grab, a liquidity sweep, that's all this is, & I, for one, am being greedy when others are fearful. I don't care if you buy it or not, I just know that as it gets closer to $6.50 again & I start picking off lots of 10 shares at a time, it all of a sudden bounces back... NFA, happy Friday!
WU is my new dividend farm, fuck your volatility fuck your options
Loaded the fuck out of the boat on $WU all the way down, that's an insane dividend yield on a cash cow that's 1 of 103 companies in the $SCHD dividend growth ETF.
Boom no $WU dividend cut, with a "line of sight to improve cash flow!" Get it while it's hot 🤙
We're bottom-feeders here in the penny stocks sub... Y'all $WU is about to gear up their AI/digital currency usage. The lower it goes the higher the dividend yield; get it while it's hot 🤙
Not a penny stock but $WU is dipping hard. It yields > 11%, is included in the esteemed $SCHD, & earnings are out in a half hour. I bought a bit in the morning but I'm glad I opened up my computer again because these last little dips have been great loading times. [Fintel shows institutional ownership as being >100%, closer to 130%](https://fintel.io/so/us/wu), & [days to cover as above 9](https://fintel.io/ss/us/wu).

If you all wanted to go ahead & squeeze $WU next, that'd be great 😘
Also, although not necessarily a penny stock, let the record show I called out **$WU** as a deep value play & it absolutely took off yesterday. I hope to keep building a position here over time as it's freaking Western Union...
Should have invested in WU instead
I just came across $WU; it kinda looks wrong how undervalued it looks...
WU STOCK 20% short interest 12% dividend 4x earnings short squeeze candidate
There are still intelligent sounding people promoting crypto. I guess they are now switching to stablecoins which makes no sense to me either. I did try using crypto to transfer money to bank in a country with capital controls and it is expensive, complicated, and you can lose your money if you are not careful. WU was a better option. Unbelievable. Plus when I had to do my taxes, I had to pay to get a report. Every transaction is a taxable event.
Trademates rates this HOLD with HIGH risk. Net Debt/EBITDA over 7x and negative organic growth. The 27% single-day burst was pure retail squeeze, not fundamentals. The action plan has entries at $7.30 and $6.80 with a stop at $6.00. I'd rather watch the frosty video than buy at these levels. 
I’m buying 1000 shares. Will go nicely with my WU hodl. 12.98 percent dividend and 5ish P/E.

So I'm looking at WU, and it claims the float is 17% short and the institutional ownership is 108%. That looks bad, Egon. Crossing-the-streams bad. I just can't figure out for whom...
No, not MU, buy WU (also know as Wu Tang financial). The squares call it western union.
Any thoughts on $WU, very interesting setup from both a fundamental and technical standpoint right now .
unfortunately WU has too much pride to allow itself to be bought out like Moneygram a couple of years ago. I'll buy WU after it kills its 10% dividend. Ridiculous waste of money.
Yeah, my WU bags feel this way. From 18 to sub 10 in a year. Just glorious like WEN, KHC etc.
No worries here where the $WU Tang regards at?
$WU Western Union is going to switch to a stable coin system of wiring money between countries which will be instant and cost at least 5 times less than the way they do it now. Down to around $8 per share from a high of $25 back in 2021, pays a 10% dividend too. Or one of $KRKNF $SATL or $VPN.TO

$WU Western Union Baby!
I'm not claiming actual experience with DPRK specifically, but I see a lot of people asserting how impossible it is, or at the very least expensive, to transfer money internationally. My experience between western countries is that it's reliable and free[1], and the supposedly impossible countries are even on the lists as possible and not that bad. The people who say it's so hard and expensive are trying to pump up BTC because they have a vested interest. Approximately nobody who says "BTC fixes international money transfers" has any interest whatsoever in sending money to someone unbanked in Eritrea. The transfers they would do are already extremely likely free. And even for the unbanked Eritrean on a day where WU would be more expensive, you have to admit that WU is probably **safer** than the guy down the street who runs a BTC-to-cash exchange. The unbanked should become banked. Not continue to be exploited by WU and BTC-clearing-houses. [1] 25 years ago I would not have said "reliable and free", but that was a long time ago.
Cross border transfer fees are typically lower with Crypto than WU or PP. You could argue it isn't worth the technical hassle, but it is faster and cheaper.
WU is just for the unbanked. You can just do a bank transfer to almost everyone. Even into DPRK, despite sanctions.
Puts on $WU expiring circa 2.5/3 months from the date of this comment with a 10$ strike price. Expected returns around 80-130% with the premium that the option collects. Who knows though? I'm just any other redditor.

i think the markets are forever like this. back in 2008 when i started study of "Volkswirtschaft ud Sozioökonomie" (macroscience and socialeconomics) at WU Vienna i read Alan Greenspans "Age of Turbulence". He there projects a future where commodities, equity, fiats all are very volatile and "fast" on a routine basis, where uncertainty is the driving force. i think this vision came true. We now have complete uncertain very fast markets everywhere. That itself would not be a problem if we would not have such a devastating distribution of wealth. We should not have individuals with anything close to 100B in equity.

WU. Solid fundamentals, long standing business, making loads of cash, large dividend, and have all the foundation laid to utilize crypto to reduce operating margins. Some people think crypto and other fintechs will make them obsolete, but I really think it’s a very strong value play. I also think GRAB is a solid play.
Oh boy, there's much better dividend stocks! You could go with Verizon (VZ) which has a 6.82% dividend. Altria (MO) has a 7.36% dividend. 6.86% on Pfizer (PFE). Western Union (WU) offers a 10% dividend. Obviously the drawback is that a lot of these stocks don't grow or some are actively going down. Chevron has a relatively lower dividend compared to these, but it's stable. From these, I would choose VZ.
Ignoring anything with ai and semiconductors: RKLB, ASTS and FRHC (i like it more than NU, albeit they are on different continents 😂) And maybe WU? Might as well be a trap since it faces so many headwinds (no strong leadership, and kinda botched transformation and the global anti immigration sentiment picking up and the rise of neobanks ) but i want to believe 🤣

Riding CAN and FLY. Short NVDA at $181-$182, buy NVD for the ride down to $176 > $173.5 > $169, sell NVD and buy NVDA. NVD calls ~2 days -2 weeks expiration. NVDA gonna dump after dividends? 🤔 Long term still good. But an ABC correction C-wave roller coaster incoming. Cheap WU calls for early next year.
