Top 15 Fastest-Growing Profitable Financial Services Stocks
Marvin's rules found 15 profitable Financial Services companies with fast last-year revenue growth and solid Overall scores. Gold.com, Washington Trust and Abacus Global Management lead on growth, but margins and debt vary widely.
Fast-growing, profitable financial companies are a mixed group. This list covers banks, insurers, lenders, asset managers and trading or payments platforms. Each had strong revenue growth in its last fiscal year and a Marvin Overall score high enough to pass the profitability and quality screen.
Growth is only one piece of the picture. A single year of fast revenue growth does not show how steady a company is, and in financial firms a high operating margin or return on equity can mean very different things depending on the business. Debt-to-equity is also read differently for banks and insurers than for other industries.
Some figures are missing for some companies, and the blurbs below say so. Treat this list as a starting point for your own research, not a recommendation.
The list
How Marvin ranked these stocks
Marvin included companies above about $300 million in size from the Financial Services sector that are profitable and have an Overall score of at least 55, with at most four per industry. They are ranked by last-fiscal-year revenue growth, fastest first. Marvin's scores run from 0 to 100 and are relative to each company's own industry, so a high score means a company compares well with its industry peers, not with every stock.

The stocks, one by one
Gold.com, Inc. GOLD
Gold.com, a capital markets company, posted revenue growth of 132.4% last fiscal year and has an Overall score of 97. Its gross margin of 1.8% is thin, so it keeps little of each sales dollar. Operating margin and debt data are missing, so the profit picture is incomplete.
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. WASH
Washington Trust, a regional bank, grew revenue 127.6% with an operating margin of 30.3%, a healthy share of sales kept as operating profit. Return on equity of 10.0% is respectable. Caution: debt-to-equity data is not available, so its leverage can't be judged here.
Abacus Global Management, Inc. ABX
Abacus Global Management, a life insurer, grew revenue 110.2% and has an operating margin of 31.8%, with debt-to-equity of 0.79. Caution: return on equity is only 6.5% and its Quality score is 24, which is weak compared with industry peers.
Financial Institutions, Inc. FISI
Financial Institutions, a regional bank, grew revenue 109.5% and earns a strong operating margin of 39.1%. Return on equity of 12.8% is solid and debt-to-equity of 0.45 is low. Caution: one year of very fast growth says little about how steady it will be.
Jackson Financial Inc. JXN
Jackson Financial, a life insurer, grew revenue 104.3% and has a Quality score of 78. Caution: its operating margin of -0.3% is slightly below zero and return on equity is just 1.0%, so the profit behind the growth looks thin. Debt-to-equity is 0.28.
Norwood Financial Corp. NWFL
Norwood Financial, a regional bank, grew revenue 72.3% with an operating margin of 35.3%, a strong profit share of sales. Return on equity of 10.0% is moderate. Caution: no debt-to-equity figure is available, so balance-sheet leverage is unclear.
Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation AUB
Atlantic Union Bankshares, a regional bank, grew revenue 68.1% and has the highest Quality score on this list at 93. Its operating margin of 40.1% is strong and debt-to-equity of 0.39 is low. Caution: return on equity of 9.5% is only moderate.
Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. OTF
Blue Owl Technology Finance, an asset manager, grew revenue 67.5% and keeps an operating margin of 43.6%, which is high. Caution: return on equity is a modest 5.0%, and debt-to-equity of 0.95 is higher than most banks and insurers on this list.
Sezzle Inc. SEZL
Sezzle, a credit services company, grew revenue 66.1% with an operating margin of 40.4%. Return on equity of 69.3% is the highest here. Caution: debt-to-equity data is missing, so it is hard to tell how much borrowing sits behind that return.
Circle Internet Group CRCL
Circle Internet Group, a capital markets company, grew revenue 63.9% and has return on equity of 12.9%. Caution: its operating margin of 7.4% is thin, and its Opportunity score of 38 and Overall score of 58 are among the weakest on this list.
Exzeo Group, Inc. XZO
Exzeo Group, a diversified insurer, grew revenue 62.0% and posts a very high operating margin of 48.5%, with return on equity of 30.1%. Its gross margin is 62.3%. Caution: debt-to-equity data is not available, so leverage can't be checked.
Palomar Holdings, Inc. PLMR
Palomar Holdings, a property and casualty insurer, grew revenue 58.2% and has an operating margin of 24.1% and return on equity of 20.7%. Debt-to-equity of 0.30 is low. Caution: its operating margin is lower than many banks here.
Robinhood Markets, Inc. HOOD
Robinhood Markets, a capital markets company, grew revenue 51.6% and has return on equity of 21.7%, with an Overall score of 69. Caution: operating margin and debt data are missing, and its Opportunity score of 48 is modest, so the picture is incomplete.
Atlanticus Holdings Corporation ATLC
Atlanticus Holdings, a credit services company, grew revenue 50.1% and has a gross margin of 92.6% and return on equity of 21.9%. Caution: its operating margin of 7.7% is thin, so little of each sales dollar remains after operating costs.
Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. Class A Common Stock FIGR
Figure Technology Solutions, a capital markets company, grew revenue 48.7% with an operating margin of 28.4% and return on equity of 16.8%. Debt-to-equity is 0.68. Caution: it has the slowest growth on this list, and its Overall score of 71 trails most peers.
Common questions
Why do some companies have very high revenue growth?
Revenue growth compares the last fiscal year with the year before. Financial firms can see large jumps for many reasons, such as business expansion, acquisitions or changes in how revenue is reported. One year of growth does not show whether it can last, so check several years of results.
Does a high Overall score mean a stock will perform well?
No. Marvin's scores only describe how a company compares with other companies in its own industry today. They are not forecasts or advice, and they say nothing about future share price moves.
Why are some figures like debt-to-equity or free cash flow margin missing?
Marvin only shows a figure when the data is available for that company. Banks and insurers also report their finances differently from other businesses, so some standard measures do not apply neatly. Where a figure is missing, look at the company's own filings.
