AI Summary

5.0

WU is best viewed not as a cheap remittance turnaround, but as a leveraged cash generator whose stock case now hinges on stabilizing margins and cash flow fast enough to protect its high dividend while the digital/Intermex pivot slowly offsets pressure in the legacy Americas network.
