AI Summary

7.0
Positive

DAVE has shifted from a growth-at-all-costs fintech into an earnings/quality-growth story where sustaining ARPU-driven margin expansion and stable credit performance—not user growth—will determine valuation upside; investors should conditionally overweight only if management proves durable margin capture and tight provisioning as originations scale. The biggest immediate risk/opportunity is execution on receivables de-risking (Coastal bank migration) and maintaining loss rates—monitor 28-day DPD trends, provision volatility, and migration milestones as go/no-go signals.
