UP Fintech Holding Limited (TIGR) is an Incredible Growth Stock: 3 Reasons Why
Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all. In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end. However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects. UP Fintech Holding Limited (TIGR) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank. Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And returns are even better for stocks that possess the combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy). While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below: Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration. While the historical EPS growth rate for UP Fintech Holding Limited is 28.6%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 38.1% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 9.1%. While cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds. Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for UP Fintech Holding Limited is 78.9%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of 14.4%. While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 70.6% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 8.9%. Superiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. The current-year earnings estimates for UP Fintech Holding Limited have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 18.4% over the past month. While the overall earnings estimate revisions have made UP Fintech Holding Limited a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. This combination indicates that UP Fintech Holding Limited is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

Total revenue for the first quarter reached USD122.6 million, marking a 55.3% increase year over year. Trading volume hit USD217 billion, driving commission income to a record high of USD58.3 million, more than doubling year over year. Non-GAAP net income increased to USD36 million, reflecting an 18.3% sequential increase and a 145% increase year over year. The company added 60,900 new funded accounts in Q1, achieving over 40% of its full-year target. Client assets reached a record high of USD45.9 billion, marking the 10th consecutive quarter of growth. Interest income slightly decreased by 4% quarter over quarter due to the maturity of US treasury holdings. Cash equities take rate decreased slightly from 6.9 bps to 6.7 bps quarter over quarter. Execution and carrying expenses increased by 139% year over year, in line with increased trading volumes. Marketing expenses rose by 148% year over year, reflecting higher costs for user acquisition. The average customer acquisition cost (CAC) is expected to rise to USD250 to USD300, up from USD150 to USD180. Q: With markets remaining volatile in the second quarter, how has this affected the company's run rate so far? Could you share any early trends around trading volume, client assets, and newly funded accounts? A: (Tianhua Wu, CEO) We are pleased with the second quarter's progress. Trading volume hit a record high in April, surpassing USD100 billion. Client assets have also reached a new high, increasing by double digits compared to the first quarter. However, due to market volatility, we expect a decrease in new funded accounts compared to Q1, but user quality remains strong, and we are confident in meeting our annual target of 150,000 new funded users. Q: Looking ahead, how should we think about the cost, particularly headcount and customer acquisition? Can you provide guidance on customer acquisition costs? A: (Fei Zeng, CFO) We will continue investing in product and R&D, with headcount growth remaining disciplined. Compensation expenses are expected to grow 10% to 20% annually. Marketing spending will increase, especially in the second half of the year, with customer acquisition costs rising to USD250-300 due to investments in high-value markets and brand awareness. Q: Could you elaborate on the breakdown of asset inflows in terms of regions and account types? A: (Tianhua Wu, CEO) In Q1, we recorded USD3.2 billion in net asset inflows, with 60% from Greater China, 30% from Singapore, and 10% from the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Retail clients contributed 60% of these inflows. Q: Your margin financing and security lending balances grew, yet net interest income remained flat. Was this due to declining interest rates? What impact would a Fed rate cut have? A: (Fei Zeng, CFO) The flat net interest income was due to matured US treasury investments, impacting income by USD1.5 million. A 25 bps Fed rate cut would negatively impact quarterly net interest income by USD1-1.5 million, about 1% of quarterly revenue. Q: Could you provide a regional breakdown of newly funded accounts in Q1? How do you view the Hong Kong market opportunity, especially with increased competition? A: (Tianhua Wu, CEO) In Q1, 45% of new accounts were from Singapore and Southeast Asia, 35% from Greater China, and 10% each from Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Hong Kong remains a key market despite competition, with strong client assets growth and high ARPU. We plan to continue investing in talent and marketing to secure a meaningful market share.
