Here's Why You Should Hold on to Green Dot (GDOT) Stock for Now

Green Dot is expanding its addressable market with the help of its banking-as-a-service (BaaS) account programs. The company partners with some top consumer and technology companies, including Amazon and Apple, to design and develop their fintech banking solutions through its BaaS platform. These solutions are then made available by these companies to their consumers and partners again through integration with the BaaS program, eventually expanding Green Dot’s spectrum of consumers.

Some Risks

Green Dot's current ratio at the end of the March quarter was pegged at 0.49, lower than the current ratio of 0.50 reported at the end of the December quarter and the prior-year quarter’s 0.82. Decreasing the current ratio is not desirable, as it indicates that the company may have problems meeting its short-term debt obligations.

Green Dot's shares have lost 45% over the past year compared with a 32.3% loss in the industry it belongs to.
