UPBD

Upbound Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPBD) is an omni-channel platform company that provides lease-to-own and alternative financing solutions to underserved consumers across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Founded in 1960 as Rent-A-Center, the company rebranded to Upbound Group in February 2023 to reflect its evolution from a traditional rent-to-own retailer into a technology-enabled financial services platform. The company operates through multiple brands including Rent-A-Center, Acima, and recently acquired Brigit, serving customers who typically lack access to traditional credit and financing options.
