Zacks on ADS

Zacks has good things to say about Alliance Data Systems (ADS). Here’s a sample:

Banking on the strength of segmental performance, Alliance Data estimates to deliver earnings per share of $18.10 on revenues of $7.8 billion in 2017 while 2018 earnings per share are projected at a higher value of $21.50 on greater revenues of $8.7 billion.

Management expects revenues and earnings per share growth of 10% at BrandLoyalty. Bottom line at Epsilon is projected to grow 4% in 2017 riding on growth in auto, CRM and data.

Alliance Data’s solid capital position helps it enhance shareholders’ value via dividends and share buybacks. The company has been authorized to buy back shares worth $1 billion through July 2018. It also initiated a quarterly dividend in fourth-quarter 2016, reflecting a major change in the shareholders’ return policy.
