LendingClub (LC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LendingClub Corp has demonstrated strong financial performance, with total noninterest income rising 21.4% quarter-over-quarter and 38.2% year-over-year in the third quarter, aided by improved fair value adjustments and sale pricing. The company reported an origination volume of $1.85 billion, reflecting a 13% year-over-year increase, and it maintains a clear strategy to enhance profitability by retaining more loan originations on its balance sheet. Furthermore, positive guidance for future origination growth, with expectations of over $2.3 billion and an annual increase of 25% by the end of 2025, signals robust momentum and improving revenue potential.
Bears say
LendingClub Corp's financial outlook appears negative due to a combination of declining growth metrics and an inability to meet market expectations, as demonstrated by a year-over-year reduction in growth of loan originations by 32%. The company's net charge-offs decreased to 4.50%, but the slight decline in net interest margin to 5.42% adds pressure on profitability amid higher cash balances stemming from an extended seasoning loan sale. Additionally, the company’s limited track record of profitability raises concerns about its ability to generate necessary capital, particularly in a competitive fintech landscape where competition from digitally native platforms is anticipated to intensify.
