Summary

  • Potential risks include regulatory changes and economic volatility.
  • Continued stock price appreciation reflecting increased fundamental business value.
  • Outlook remains positive with strategic positioning in a favorable regulatory environment.

In Blue Tower Asset Management’s Q4 2024 letter, Enova International (ENVA, Financial) was highlighted as a significant contributor to the fund’s performance. The election of President Trump and the subsequent rally in financial stocks provided a substantial boost to Enova, driven by expectations of reduced regulations and lower corporate tax rates. This political shift has created a favorable environment for financial companies, enhancing Enova's market positioning.

"This election-related rally in financial stocks buoyed our investment in Enova, which was the biggest contributor to our performance in Q4 (and was a major benefit for the previous quarters in 2024). Although Enova’s stock price has rallied considerably, the fundamental value of the business has also increased, such that it is still an attractive investment for us." — Andrew Oskoui, CFA, Blue Tower Asset Management, Q4 2024 Fund Letter
