tradematesHQ

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.

How about WU with a 11.5% divi

BakedPotaTomato

Campbells or WU are two safe dividend machines at lows that at some point you will double and along the way have collected good divies.

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.

Better-Plastic970

Any thoughts on $WU, very interesting setup from both a fundamental and technical standpoint right now .

avatarfire

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.

Grouchy_Value7852

Yeah, my WU bags feel this way. From 18 to sub 10 in a year. Just glorious like WEN, KHC etc.

ZirElbowsDownClown

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

lalaland4711

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.

aronnax512

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.

lalaland4711

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.

IDrinkSulfuricAcid

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 🤣

salty0waldo

The valuation on PYPL just doesn't really matter. If the Block announcement shows anything, its this whole sector is about growth. If you own it, it might be worth looking to sell here. There really isn't much upside potential. If last earnings couldn't move the needle, I don't really see what will for it. It can easily be trading down into a ratio of 5. I mean, look at WU. It trades at a multiple of like 3-4 or something.

Yeah but it's a totally different company now. Which is part of my confusion here. Even WU is trading with better momentum the past month, and they have a declining top and bottom number lol. Not saying it deserves an 18 multiple, but 12-14 next years guidance would be nice lol.

Western union $WU, bought at 8.02$ now at 9.50$. potential for a buyout also. keep your eyes peeled

jubilantBeatbox

Is it really? I honestly have not yet figured out what the effect, if any, of this is. If WU can now remit payments using its own stablecoin, then that certainly eliminates the commission cost of the front-end cash dealers. But! Usually those remittances are to less tech-savvy places so I am not sure the utility of a stablecoin in the first place. THIS MAKES NO SENSE to me. Someone break it down if they can.

jubilantBeatbox

Uhh: DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- "The Western Union Company (“Western Union”) (NYSE: [WU](https://www.stocktitan.net/overview/WU)) today announced its plan to launch U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT), its new stablecoin, and an innovative Digital Asset Network designed to bridge the digital and fiat worlds, enabling real world utility for digital assets. Built on Solana and issued by Anchorage Digital Bank, Western Union aims to launch USDPT, expanding the ways to move money for customers, agents and partners, and to support the company’s treasury capabilities." I haven't used Western Union in my entire life but... doesn't this essentially make them THE Crypto play in basically ALL the emerging markets?! Correct me if I am wrong...

creemeeseason

I've heard the Bitcoin thesis, but I still believe that Bitcoin makes a terrible method of currency exchange because it's so volatile. There are theoretically block chain applications for transfer, but that's not owned by anyone. Anyway, I own DLO, not WU.

wavrdn

The Compound talked about WU a week ago I believe. Interesting take that it's likely the first financial company to have bitcoin take its market share, but also that there has been a lot of insider buying lately. Thought about taking a position while it's still under $10

MrNo_Balls

LMAO why did you guys invest in WU???

Exciting-Hornet7610

WU just missed earnings by $0.02 and came in below revenue expectations. Not huge on its own… but combine that with Trump and GOP pushing for stricter immigration/remittance policies? That’s a direct hit to WU’s core business. ~88% of WU’s revenue comes from immigrants sending money home (C2C remittances). If you tax/remit/limit transfers, you kill their main source of income.

murderbymodem

Sometimes basic knowledge is all you need to steer you in the right direction. I bought 6 shares of AMD back in February. I had just got home from waiting in a huge line at Microcenter to spend $600 on a 9070XT GPU, and figured I'd throw $600 into the stock as well. My $600 is $951 as of close earlier today. I'm not taking profit because I agree with the "DD" in this post that it has the potential to do even better. Anyone building a PC right now is buying AMD Ryzen, as there is zero trust in Intel CPUs (see: [Intel CPU instability issues](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/firefox-dev-says-intel-raptor-lake-crashes-are-increasing-with-rising-temperatures-in-record-european-heat-wave-mozilla-staffs-tracking-overwhelmed-by-intel-crash-reports-team-disables-the-function)), and on the GPU side of things, [gamers are frustrated with high Nvidia prices](https://youtu.be/2tJpe3Dk7Ko?si=r2WU9jdu9MduuL1I) and using AMD Radeon (or even Intel Arc) GPUs as an alternative. This knowledge could also easily steer me in the wrong direction, as the DIY PC market I know so well is a tiny fraction of these businesses, but hopefully investing in what I know works out.

If it was still good on that dip (was NVDA the one that tanked and you sold low?), BUY MORE is the answer. Hold only good stocks and usually you can hold through dips and even buy more. That's what I recommend. Here are my current holdings at 4 and 5 star buys at Morningstar: 4: CCI GOOG MCD ET VZ BMY 5: PFE GSK O WU

mvpjsand

I don't think the point is free money. Its more of $WU's core business having a glitch for 3 weeks that gave away millions in overpayments and they don't say a word about it

Limp-Weekend9775

$WU had a glitch over the last month when sending P2P payments they double sent them. Happened for almost a month. I know personally a few people who have over a million dollars personally from this. WU just figured it out Wednesday last week and attempted clawbacks Thursday and SD accounts Friday. While it's only semi public because obviously people have somewhere in the 50-100 million in over payments from them. I have heard a few individuals who have 3-10 million alone. I have seen the bank account statements and have many friends this happened to.

chopsui101

No. I deleted the part where I put what I thought WU should be doing and what they are not. Basically I don't think the management team is executing particularly well

chopsui101

I like to think I'm an expert on WU....as I once wrote a finals paper about them for finance class. The regardless what investors tell you the business is not dying, they just fail to understand the business. The business is based on remittance, money that foreign workers from poor countries send home. This can be from the US back to India or the Philippines. From the wealthy gulf states back to poorer SE asian countries or Africa. From Russia back to western asian countries. **Strengths** The world remittance is growing steadily and is expected to growth at a consistent rate. During growth years it tends to grow more or when oil prices are high. They also have a strong monopoly on countries that don't have good banking sectors or other fintechs can't break into due to lack of technology. In countries like India and Philippines they cut their prices to complete with fintechs. Countries that the fintechs don't operate either because phones are not wide spread or the banking sector isn't developed they raise prices. They charge a fee to send the money and they give the mid conversion rate thus they profit twice on each transaction. They have done better in recent years in building out their mobile app to get repeat customers, adding buttons to have the ability to instantly send money to contacts which is driving repeat business. **Weaknesses** The world is getting smaller so even countries in Africa mobile phones are getting more popular, which means other fintechs are able to service countries that previously they could not. They have rolled out their products in a sloppy manner, execution imo has been poor. They have multiple mobile apps for different products they offer like their money transfer and their prepaid debit card. If you listen to their earning calls they always talk about being a one stop shop but the product lineup has not reflected that. Thus imo they are not monetizing their customers as efficiently as they could or should be. They keep saying their are spending on technology but I reviewed their technology spending has been more or less flat for a while. **Overall** They seem content with riding out their high margin business, taking a higher percentage of a smaller and smaller pie.

Spezza

And that has prompted record remittances from American migrants to their home countries. Not sure how much of that WU handles though. Or what that would mean to their bottom line.

Opportunist_Ad3972

WU business is to take your money and send it away, for you never to see it again.

MaxwellSmart07

WM would be better than WU. (Matter of fact, almost anything would )

Rav_3d

It's a terrible move. Western Union, which is a horrific stock in a steep downtrend while the broader market has been on fire. It is DOWN 12% since liberation day while the market and most other stocks are up significantly, such as NVDA which is up 100% in the same time. Even if you had said NVDA I'd still say it's a horrible idea to put your entire portfolio into any single stock. But WU is a death sentence. For your own good, put it in VOO instead. Your future self will thank you.

McKnuckle_Brewery

Thanks for prompting me to research WU on Seeking Alpha and elsewhere. Looks like a slowly dying value trap with a big dividend that could (and arguably should) be cut soon. Personally I think you're nuts to risk it all on this. Buy index funds and sit back.

Lucid_Chemist

WU trading at 3 times earnings. I get the outlook isn’t great but wow.

Lucid_Chemist

So WU is trading at 3 times earnings and 4 times future PE, yes it’s bad that they are expected to make less money next year. But isn’t that PE a little insane?
