GOEASY LTD

CEO Patrick Ens presented a realignment at the Scotiabank summit: goeasy is tightening lending, reducing riskier dealer loans from LendCare and shifting capital toward easyfinancial. The company is strengthening risk, data and operating infrastructure, has suspended dividends and share buybacks, and used about CAD 400 million to pay down debt in Q2 2025. The annualized write-off rate fell to 16.7%; management expects 2026 to be a transition year focused on stabilization and cautious growth, dependent on better credit performance and a more stable macro environment. » Altro su de.investing.com
