« Second-Quarter GDP Growth | Main | The Eight Lean Years »

For the second quarter, Nicholas Financial (NICK) earned 15 cents a share. Since the stock is basically priced for Armageddon, I think this is good news.

Revenue increased by 8% and EPS dropped from 27 cents to 15 cents. The major culprit isn't hard to spot. The provision for credit losses nearly tripled from last year. Without that, pre-tax profit actually grew by about 4% over last year. The stock is now trading at less than 35 times this quarter's earnings.
