Western Union to Acquire International Money Express, Inc.
DENVER & MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Western Union Company ('Western Union') (NYSE: WU) and International Money Express, Inc. ('Intermex') (NASDAQ: IMXI) today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Western Union will acquire Intermex in an all-cash transaction at $16.00 per IMXI share, representing a total equity and enterprise value of approximately $500 million. This acquisition strengthens Western Union's retail offering in the U.S., expands market coverage in high potential geographies, and is expected to accelerate digital new customer acquisition. Intermex's deep market knowledge, strong agent relationships, and operational expertise further positions Western Union to capture growth in the Americas. 'This acquisition is a disciplined, strategic step that strengthens our North America operations and expands our presence with key consumer segments across the U.S.' said Devin McGranahan, President and CEO of Western Union. 'Intermex has built a well-recognized brand, as well as strong agent and customer relationships. Together, we will expand our retail footprint, unlock operational efficiencies, and accelerate digital engagement.' 'This agreement represents an exciting opportunity to provide Intermex's shareholders with significant and certain value, accelerating our omni-channel strategy, while continuing to deliver for our customers' said Bob Lisy, Chairman and CEO of Intermex. 'This combination with Western Union brings together two complementary businesses that are well positioned to drive growth across North America.' Strategic Rationale and Benefits: Strategic Alignment Unique opportunity for Western Union to acquire a well-positioned remittance business, adding scale in historically high-growth Latin America geographies. Opportunity to serve Intermex's 6 million customers, giving them access to Western Union's robust digital platforms and capabilities. Strengthened U.S. Retail Platform Expands and stabilizes Western Union's U.S. retail footprint, enhancing resilience and improving customer access across the Americas. Creates an opportunity to leverage Intermex's decades of operational and cultural expertise to drive targeted, sustainable retail growth. Meaningful Synergy Potential Expect $30 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within 24 months. Potential for additional revenue synergies through broader distribution and product offerings, enhancing speed, reliability, and customer value. Transaction Details: Under the terms of the agreement, Western Union will acquire Intermex for $16.00 per share in cash, representing approximately $500 million in equity and enterprise value. This reflects a roughly 50% premium to its 90-day volume-weighted average price. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Western Union's adjusted EPS by more than $0.10 in the first full year post close and to generate approximately $30 million in annual run-rate cost synergies within the first 24 months, with potential further upside from revenue synergies by integrating Intermex's capabilities into Western Union's partner and customer network. The transaction has been unanimously approved by Western Union's Board of Directors. Intermex's Board of Directors – acting on the unanimous recommendation of its independent Strategic Alternatives Committee – has also unanimously approved the transaction and recommends that Intermex stockholders vote in favor of the merger. The transaction, expected to close in mid-2026, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and approvals from financial regulators, as well as approval by Intermex's stockholders. Following completion, the companies expect to implement a coordinated integration plan designed to provide a smooth transition for all customers, agents, and partners.

Financial Technology Partners LP is serving as financial advisor and Holland & Knight LLP as legal advisor to Intermex. Lazard Frères & Co.

Wedbush Keeps Tesla (TSLA) Outperform, Expects a Huge Upside
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the best battery tech stocks to buy right now. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is very positive about Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and thinks the company has a strong future ahead. He gave Tesla stock an Outperform rating on August 4, and kept his price target at $500. With the stock trading at $322.50, this means there is a possible upside of around 55%. That shows Ives believes Tesla can grow a lot more. Copyright: wolandmaster / 123RF Stock Photo A big reason for this belief is the upcoming refresh of the Model Y. Many people are waiting for the new version, and it could help Tesla sell more cars. Also, Tesla is working hard on self-driving technology, and the planned robotaxi is expected to be a big step forward. If that project does well, it could open up a new area of business for Tesla. Wedbush also said that the current political climate under a Trump administration could make things easier for Tesla when it comes to rules and regulations. That might help the company move faster and focus more on its new products. Ives sees many reasons to stay confident in Tesla. Between the new cars, the robotaxi, and support from the government, the company could keep growing. With a stock price much lower than the $500 target, some investors may see this as a good opportunity. Tesla is a battery technology company because it designs and manufactures advanced lithium-ion battery cells, energy storage products like Powerwall and Megapack, and integrates these technologies into its electric vehicles and energy grid solutions, driving innovation in sustainable energy storage and usage. While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Dirt Cheap Stocks to Buy With $3,000 Right Now
Key Points Carnival's cruise lines are attracting lots of travelers again. Lyft continues to grow in Uber's shadow. Peloton might recover once it right-sizes its business. 10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. › Over the past 12 months, the S&P 500 rallied more than 20%. It is hovering near its all-time high and looks historically expensive at 29 times its trailing earnings -- so this might not be the best time to hunt for bargain stocks. But digging a bit deeper, investors will notice that plenty of stocks are still trading at discount valuations. Let's examine three of those unloved and undervalued stocks -- Carnival (NYSE: CCL), Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT), and Peloton (NASDAQ: PTON) -- and see how they might churn a modest $3,000 investment into a lot more money over the next few years. 1. Carnival Carnival, the world's top cruise line operator, suffered a severe slowdown in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021 (which ended in November 2021) as the pandemic disrupted global travel. To stay solvent during that crisis, it idled its ships, reined in its spending, and nearly tripled its year-end debt from $11.5 billion in fiscal 2019 to $33.2 billion in fiscal 2021. But over the following three years, Carnival's business stabilized and recovered, it attracted more passengers, and its occupancy percentage exceeded 100% again. It also returned to profitability on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis in fiscal 2024 -- thanks to its higher fares, more onboard spending per customer, and lower fuel costs -- as it reduced its net debt to $27.5 billion by the end of the year. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect its revenue and EPS to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% and 22%, respectively. Those are solid growth rates for a stock that trades at just 13 times next year's earnings. If you expect Carnival to match or exceed those estimates as global travel warms up again, this could be a great time to buy its stock, which still trades more than 55% below its all-time high from January 2018. 2. Lyft Lyft, the second largest ride-sharing and mobility services provider in the U.S. and Canada, also struggled during the pandemic as more people stayed at home. It also grappled with driver shortages and intense competition from Uber. But as those headwinds dissipated, Lyft bounced back by offering more competitive rates, increasing its driver availability, and expanding its ecosystem with fresh features -- including Lyft Pass service for businesses, Lyft Pink membership program, Lyft Silver service for older riders, Price Lock subscriptions for set prices, and Lyft Media platform for in-app and in-car ads. In its latest quarter, the company's number of active riders grew 10% year over year to 26.1 million as its total number of rides rose 14% to 234.8 million. Both figures were record highs, yet Lyft stock still trades more than 80% below its record high posted in March 2019. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect Lyft's revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at a CAGR of 12% and 28%, respectively. It's also expected to grow its GAAP net income, which turned positive in 2024, at a CAGR of 134% over the following three years. That's an impressive growth trajectory for a stock that trades at less than one times this year's adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, I believe Lyft's stock could attract a lot more attention once more investors realize it's holding its own and won't be rendered obsolete by Uber. 3. Peloton Unlike Carnival and Lyft, Peloton thrived during the pandemic. Its sales of connected bikes and treadmills soared as gyms closed and more people stayed home. But after the pandemic lockdowns passed, its sales tumbled. It also faced fierce competition from cheaper brands like Echelon and stand-alone workout apps that didn't require any equipment. As Peloton's top-line growth stalled, the company focused on stabilizing its margins and free cash flow by expanding its stickier subscriptions, reining in markdowns, outsourcing production overseas, selling products through more third-party retailers, as well as pruning its workforce. So even though Peloton's revenue is still declining as it sells less equipment and loses more paid subscribers, its gross margins are expanding as the company narrows net losses. Peloton is still on shaky ground, it's being led by its third CEO since its IPO in 2019, and analysts expect its revenue to decline until at least 2026 as it remains unprofitable. Pelton stock also trades more than 95% below its record high reached in January 2021. But with an enterprise value of $3.3 billion, shares looks dirt cheap at 1.3 times next year's sales. So if it finds fresh ways to expand its base of 2.98 million paid connected fitness subscribers and 0.62 million paid app subscribers, the stock might command a higher valuation and bounce back.
