Fundamental Analysis  

The pawnbroker business has some of the fattest margins out there: 25% on loans, 50% on items sold, and 25% on cash advances.  November and December are their busiest months due to the need to raise cash for holiday spending.  Legal hindrances have created significant barriers to entry for new competitors leaving those who are already in this space to further consolidate.
