The Week In Review: Think ahead and avoid Provident Financial
Edited by Saeed Shah

Published: 08 July 2006

Provident Financial, the doorstep lender, has had a rough time over the past 12 months. With the UK consumer credit bubble finally reaching its inevitable climax in 2004, the group has not only struggled to grow its core domestic business over the past year, but has seen its second-hand car business, Yes Car Credit, collapse.

Add this to a Competition Commission inquiry into the UK home credit market - which at worst threatens to impose price caps on companies such as Provident - and it is not hard to see why its share price has been on a downward trend.

Since we advised investors to sell this stock 15 months ago, the shares have fallen by more than 13 per cent, and while Provident's international operations are in better shape, we believe there will still be better times to buy.

A healthy yield of more than 5 per cent is the one good reason why shareholders who have held on so far should stay put. But for new investors, avoid.
