Propel Holdings (TSX:PRL) Valuation Check After Regulatory Approval for New Puerto Rico Banking Subsidiary

Propel Holdings (TSX:PRL) just cleared a key hurdle in its long term strategy, securing regulatory approval in Puerto Rico to launch Propel International Bank, a new hub for its consumer lending platform.

See our latest analysis for Propel Holdings.

The regulatory green light for Propel International Bank comes as investors reassess the story, with a recent 5.14% 1 day share price return standing in contrast to a weak year to date share price performance and a still impressive three year total shareholder return of 202.62 percent. This suggests that long term momentum has not fully broken.
