Pagaya Technologies Is A Buy Despite The Rising Interest Rate Environment

Summary Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (PGY) demonstrates strong Q2/2026 revenue re-acceleration, profit growth, and robust partner network expansion. PGY's AI-driven lending model delivers stable performance and operating leverage, with over 45% of flow now from non-decline products. Despite exceptional profitability and resilience, PGY trades at a significant valuation discount to peers, with a forward P/E of 5.1 and PEG of 0.09.
