Green Dot Sees Strong Growth In First Earnings Report (GDOT)

Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT) just reported its first earnings report as a public company.  The prepaid financial services company reported a 48% jump up in Non-GAAP operating revenues to $92.8 million, followed by a 20% gain in non-GAAP income of $15.5 million.

The company has now issued well over 12 million general purpose reloadable card accounts since our founding.  Here were the remaining stats:

  • General purpose reloadable debit cards activated was 1.5 million, up 67%.
  • Cash transfers was 6.4 million, up 56%.
  • Active cards was 3.2 million, up 60%.
  • Gross dollar volume was $2.4 billion, up 77%.

Unfortunately, there are no estimates available yet as the quiet period is still ongoing.  Shares closed down 0.79% at $46.56 on only 59,000 shares.  Not bad considering the IPO priced at $36.00 just last month, above the range indicated of $32.00 to $35.00.

Is Your Money Earning the Best Possible Rate? (Sponsor)

Let’s face it: If your money is just sitting in a checking account, you’re losing value every single day. With most checking accounts offering little to no interest, the cash you worked so hard to save is gradually being eroded by inflation.

However, by moving that money into a high-yield savings account, you can put your cash to work, growing steadily with little to no effort on your part. In just a few clicks, you can set up a high-yield savings account and start earning interest immediately.

There are plenty of reputable banks and online platforms that offer competitive rates, and many of them come with zero fees and no minimum balance requirements. Click here to see if you’re earning the best possible rate on your money!
