Dear Benzinga Member, 
That long slamming sound you may have heard recently was insider-buying windows slamming shut all across America.
Regulators watch closely for signs of improper or illegal activity when insiders buy and trade shares in the companies they help run.
It is illegal to trade in your own shares if you have material nonpublic information (an impending takeover or catastrophic earnings miss).
I will go on record as saying this is a moronic rule, as insiders, by the very definition of the word, would always have material nonpublic information.
I could go on with a long rant about moronic federal laws, but we do not have the time or space.
Most companies have insider trading windows to keep the SEC at bay and the lawyers&#8217; fees to a minimum. When the window is open, officers and directors can execute buy and sell transactions after receiving the okay from the lawyers.
However, that window is closed during the period around earnings announcements.
It usually stays closed until a couple of days past the earnings release.
Earnings season is in full swing this week, so most windows are closed.
There is no window for institutional investors, however.
Topline Capital is a growth-oriented, research-driven investment management firm that focuses on delivering strong returns with an emphasis on risk management. The firm uses a growth-oriented, research-driven investment approach to take large positions in companies. Topline favors small and microcap companies in the software, payments, healthcare, business services, and gaming industries.
One of its most prominent positions right now is a company I am familiar with. Green Dot Corporation is a leading financial technology and bank holding company known for pioneering the prepaid debit card market. The company&#8217;s services cater to the underbanked and unbanked populations in the U.S., offering prepaid debit cards, checking accounts, and money transfer services.
Topline has been adding to its stake in the company.
In the month of September, the fund spent $2.3 million to increase its stake to over 6.1 million shares.
Topline is now the largest shareholder of Green Dot.

The company operates a neobank, GO2bank, and maintains one of the largest retail cash reload networks in the U.S. In addition, it partners with several high-profile companies, such as Apple, Amazon, Uber, and Walmart, providing their customers with tailored banking solutions.
Walmart and Green Dot have a long history of working together to serve the large unbanked populations in the United States.
Green Dot issues the Walmart MoneyCard, which provides users with access to many banking features such as direct deposit, money transfers, and ATM withdrawals.
This card is especially popular among the underbanked, offering an alternative to traditional banking services.
For Green Dot&#8217;s extensive retail cash reload network, Walmart locations act as significant cash reload points. Customers can easily reload their prepaid cards or accounts at any Walmart store.
It is also the provider of many of Walmart&#8217;s financial services kiosks, including many of the financial services offered through Walmart&#8217;s in-store kiosks. These services include bill payment, money transfers, and cash checking.
It is all done on a white-label basis under the Walmart brand with Green Dot, the faceless bank and services provider behind the scenes.
If you use Walmart prepaid cards or any of their financial apps and services, you are a Green Dot customer.
If you use Apple Cash to send money to friends or pesky relatives through Messenger or the Apple Wallet app, you are a Green Dot customer. Green Dot Bank, a subsidiary of Green Dot Corporation, serves as the bank behind the scenes for Apple Cash that facilitates these transactions.
Green Dot&#8217;s role in this partnership involves acting as the financial institution that holds the funds for Apple Cash, enabling users to store and use their money directly from their Apple devices. Users can spend their Apple Cash balances via Apple Pay at retail locations or online and transfer money to their bank accounts.
This collaboration positions Green Dot as a critical enabler of Apple&#8217;s growing suite of financial services, which also includes the Apple Card and Apple Pay. Apple benefits from Green Dot&#8217;s banking infrastructure, which has experience in handling digital banking products for large-scale companies. In turn, this partnership gives Green Dot exposure to millions of Apple users, boosting its brand visibility and reinforcing its position in the digital financial services industry.
Green Dot is also becoming a big player in Earned Wage Access (EWA). Companies use this service to pay workers faster. It can give workers instant access to funds via a debit card.
Amazon uses this service and offers its drivers and contractors the Amazon Flex Debit Card. This card allows drivers to get paid faster through instant access to their earnings via Green Dot&#8217;s systems. Green Dot is the bank behind this service, ensuring that funds can be transferred quickly and securely.
The demand for Earned Wage Access (EWA) solutions is growing, especially in sectors like staffing. Green Dot&#8217;s rapid! PayCard division is well-placed to capture this emerging opportunity.
Green Dot is very well positioned for the future of financial services. It has a bank charter, so it can offer services and access to payment technologies that smaller competitors cannot.
Green Dot has existing relationships with three of the companies that will play a major role in remaking financial services and is well positioned for what will happen in finance and payments.
Consumers and businesses increasingly seek digital banking solutions, pushing companies to embed financial services into their platforms. Green Dot is well-positioned to capitalize on this shift.
When a company&#8217;s largest shareholder keeps buying more shares, it indicates that they have spoken to management, examined the finances, discussed the future with competitors and customers, and feel good about it.
Green Dot could be a leader in the financial services sector of the future, and that would result in a stock price that is several multiples of the current quote

Barclays Maintains Underweight on Green Dot, Raises Price Target to $10

Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gdot#NYSE">GDOT</a>) is currently focusing on long-term growth through prepaid cards, BaaS partnerships, and a strong balance sheet amid some challenges, including a decrease in customers and the end of partnerships in its traditional consumer division and its Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) sector.
<h2>Factors That Bode Well</h2>
Green Dot remains focused on ensuring the&nbsp;long-term growth of its businesses. The company&#39;s efforts are toward the acquisition of long-term users by issuing prepaid cards both under its brand, sold in stores, and through co-branded cards like the Walmart Money Card.
<div class="chart_embed">
<h2>Green Dot Corporation Revenue</h2>
<h2><img alt="greendotcorprevenue.jpg" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u1593113/greendotcorprevenue.jpg" style="height:307px; width:636px" /></h2>
Green Dot Corporation revenue-ttm | Green Dot Corporation Quote
In addition to its core offerings like prepaid cards and tax processing services, Green Dot utilizes its technology and FDIC-insured banking license to provide &quot;Banking-as-a-Service.&quot; This essentially involves Green Dot offering white-label banking products to large corporations such as Walmart, Uber, and Apple.
</div>
In return for delivering these financial products, the company gains access to a substantial customer base from these global firms, many of which have large and loyal customer followings. Once these customers adopt banking products powered by Green Dot, the company can generate revenues through interchange fees when customers use their debit cards and by retaining deposits, which generate additional interest income. Green Dot has a unique position among banks offering Banking-as-a-Service.
This uniqueness stems from its asset-light balance sheet, which allows for higher interchange rates and reduces its reliance on interest income as a revenue source. This approach keeps the company&#39;s balance sheet efficient and allows Banking-as-a-Service to remain significant and profitable.
Green Dot has a strong balance sheet with&nbsp;no debt obligations.Cash and equivalents were $1.38 billion as of June 30, 2024. During 2023, the company generated an operating cash flow of $98 million. In the second quarter of 2024, it generated an operating cash flow of $31 million. Since the company carries no debt, the cash is available for investments in growth initiatives and distribution to shareholders.
<h2>Some Risks</h2>
The company is facing some challenges. A decrease in customers, coupled with the&nbsp;end of key partnerships&nbsp;in its traditional consumer division and its Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) sector, directly affected its revenue streams. As customer numbers dwindle, so does the transactional activity that contributes to GDOT&#39;s income. Additionally, the loss of partnerships, particularly in BaaS, undermines their business model, which depends on collaborating with other firms to offer integrated banking services.
Green Dot has never declared and currently&nbsp;does not have any plan to pay cash dividends&nbsp;on common stock. The Federal Reserve Board&#39;s risk-based and leverage capital requirements and other federal laws restrict the company&#39;s ability to pay cash dividends. Investors seeking cash dividends may avoid buying Green Dot&#39;s shares.
<h2>Zacks Rank and Stocks to Consider</h2>
Green Dot currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors interested in the Zacks&nbsp;Business Services&nbsp;sector may also look at Docusign (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/docu#NASDAQ">DOCU</a>) and AppLovin (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/app#NASDAQ">APP</a>).
Docusign flaunts a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 9.3%.
DOCU delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 18.3%, on average.
AppLovin sports a Zacks Rank #1 at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 20%.APP delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 21.1%, on average.

<h3>Segmental Revenues</h3>
B2B Services revenues increased 39.5% from the second quarter of 2024 to $252.1 million. Growth in PayCard channels and other vast partnerships are anticipated to have led to a rise in this segment&#39;s revenues.

The Consumer Services segment&#39;s revenues amounted to $96.6 million, down 25.1% on a year-over-year basis. The impacts of continued headwinds in the retail channel on several active accounts on the company&#39;s platform resulted in this segment&#39;s downfall.

Investors in Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gdot#NYSE">GDOT</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jul 19, 2024 $17.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
<h3>What is Implied Volatility?</h3>
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
<h3>What do the Analysts Think?</h3>
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Green Dot shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Green Dot is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Financial Transaction Services&nbsp; industry that ranks in the Top 26 % of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, no analyst has increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one has dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 30 cents per share to 20 cents in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Green Dot right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.
