AI CONVICTION THESIS

Dave Inc. provides small cash-advance and banking services to US consumers, and while it has reached profitability with strong momentum, its model depends on tip and express-fee revenue that has drawn regulatory action, and its credit exposure to subprime consumers is untested through a downturn. The value score is the most expensive in this batch (V36). Nothing is finally determined, so this is a flag.
