First Advantage: Larger Scale Doesn't Mean Much If Growth Is Poor

Maintain a hold rating on First Advantage due to ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and increased leverage post-merger with STER. Despite the larger scale of the merger, the growth outlook remains unchanged, with continued poor base revenue and hiring demand. The combined entity's balance sheet is now highly leveraged, raising concerns about liquidity if the negative macro backdrop persists.

First Advantage: Sterling Acquisition Leads To Leveraged Balance Sheet, Poor Returns

First Advantage Corporation's acquisition of Sterling Check led to a leveraged balance sheet and overvalued shares, impacting capital returns negatively. The company aims to integrate Sterling, achieve cost synergies, and focus on deleveraging to improve financial stability and future growth prospects. Despite strong industry positioning, high leverage and limited capital returns make First Advantage less attractive for long-term investors.
