Wasatch Micro-Cap Fund stated the following regarding EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:

“Another contributor to performance was EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW), a provider of pawn services and loans in the U.S. and Latin America. As a defensive stock, EZCORP was one that investors gravitated toward given its counter cyclical demand. As discretionary income shrinks, EZCORP can be source of consumer credit. Additionally, the company recently announced the issuance of convertible senior notes in order to more favorably restructure its balance sheet.”
