The main question: results are strong, and the P/BV is higher than 98% of its own history. ## What is the Encore Capital Group share price today? Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s share price was $99.83 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been rising for 41 weeks. That is 19.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $47 and $104, and at that close it sat 93% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 57 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +327% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Encore Capital Group pay? Encore Capital Group, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Encore Capital Group on? Encore Capital Group is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Encore Capital Group profitable? Encore Capital Group, Inc. earned $64.0 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +9.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $257 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −7.5% a year on average. That is 13.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $58.7 M. 2 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. Why profit moved: revenue changed +11.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.3 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +79.0% and revenue +34.0%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Encore Capital Group make, and is it growing? Encore Capital Group, Inc. reported $492 M of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +11.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 6th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 2.3% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $1.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $1.9 B. FY25 revenue was $1.8 B, +34.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +34.0% on average, against 2.3% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +29.5%, against +22.3% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating). ## How much does Encore Capital Group keep from what it earns? Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s net margin was 13.0% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 0.3 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −16.9% and 21.8%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Encore Capital Group's loans have gone bad? Encore Capital Group, Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Encore Capital Group's loan book growing? Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s revenue was $1.8 B in FY25, +34.4% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +11.3% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 13.0%, −0.3 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Encore Capital Group's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s P/BV is 2.0×, about the highest it has ever been. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.1×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +10.8% a year; about +1.5% a year came from book-value growth and about +9.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Encore Capital Group business getting better or worse? Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. Revenue growth is rising at +29.5% while profit growth is slowing from its peak at +9.0% (from single-quarter figures), so the lines disagree and each one tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does Encore Capital Group earn on its equity and assets? Encore Capital Group, Inc. earned a return on equity of 26% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −22% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $8.34, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why ROE moved: profit grew −7.5% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Encore Capital Group have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Encore Capital Group shareholding pattern? 4.6% of Encore Capital Group, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Encore Capital Group from balance-sheet trouble? For Encore Capital Group, Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Encore Capital Group rank in its industry? 72.1 out of 100, rank 1 of 29 in Credit Services, with 67% of the evidence available. Encore Capital Group, Inc. scores 72.1 out of 100 against the 29 companies it is compared with in Credit Services, ranking 1. Earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength all agree. The open questions are about management, upcoming events and risks. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 23.3 + 18.4 + 16 + 14.4 = 72.1. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Encore Capital Group compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
