Interim divi just arrived , I had forgotten what a good yield this now pays. 6.7% at today's price. If the business model is now solid , this may be undervalued still.

IPF use the name Provident outside of the UK (since they split from Provvies)

I just did a tour; couldn't find a specific Mexican one. Surprised to see the use of the Provident name there.

"Our customer representatives make up around 80% of the IPF workforce. The vast majority are women, with an average age of 46. Around two thirds work part-time, and their average length of service is four years.

They feel a strong sense of pride in working for Provident, and value the position of respect it gives them in their community. For millions of customers, they represent everything they love about our Company. That’s why we’re so proud of them. And why we’re working hard to show them just how valued they are."

I was thinking the vulnerability is more at a higher level; who licences IPF , who regulates them, who agrees the interest rate limits?
Obviously better to have an IPF loan than “gota a gota”.

Does look a strong chart. Guess I worry about the level of corruption in Mexico for a foreign company trying to do financial business there , having seen IPF/Prov shafted by various Eastern European financial regulators in the past but I am ignorant of Mexican financial regulation.
I suppose it is the nature of IPF that , apart from Australia , it is doing business in countries that have bigger corruption problems than Western Europe so is inherently risky.

Stocko summary:

International Personal Finance (LON:IPF) - up 2% to 108p (£243m) - Q1 2024 Trading Update - Graham - GREEN

A pleasing update from subprime lender IPF with the company growing well, excluding Poland. Importantly, the impairment rate is below the level expected at this point. At a PE Ratio of only 5x and a dividend yield of 10%+, the risk/reward for IPF’s equity could be even better than its 12% retail bond.

There you have it in a nutshell. They carried out a UT at 8am this morning to set the share price. The share price was set at 98.20p. That's 4.20p higher than last nights close. This being the third time a UT has been carried out at 8am to set the share price and on each occasion the share price has gone up. Is it a coincidence a UT was done this morning after I pointed out an anomaly yesterday, no as it has happened three times now. IMO the market makers are sometimes setting the spread prices out of line with the actual share price.

The last trade price of the day is not the closing price of the shares. After 4.30 they balance the books and the code is UT. That is the closing price for the shares on the day. UT: Uncrossing Trade - This is used for the single uncrossing trade detailing the total executed volume and uncrossing price as a result of a SETS auction. VW: Volume Weighted Average Price - A transaction that was effected at a price based on a volume weighted average price over a given period.
The market makers determine the spread price at which you can buy and sell. Yesterday is a prime example of how the share price was out of line as they had to increase them at the close of trading by over 3.5p a share by UT. Today the UT adjustment was 00.10p. This is the point I'm trying to make. If the market makers keep putting the spread price less than the share price it drives the share price down even though buys could out weigh sells by two to one. This keep happening with these shares.
Today there was no chance the shares could go up as the spread was less than the share price on the first 4 trades of the day and these happen to be buys and on each occasion the price went down.
Between 16:10:49 to 16:11:49 today, ten trades took place, eight buys and two sells, each one for 147 shares.
