LendingClub (LC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LendingClub Corp is operating in a burgeoning personal loan market, which has expanded at an approximate 14% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past 15 years, positioning the company for substantial growth and market share gains. The company is forecasted to achieve a 32% year-over-year increase in loan originations for 2025, with expected earnings per share (EPS) growth of around 150% for the current year and notable margin expansion projected for 2026 and 2027. Additionally, LendingClub's strategic focus on credit card debt consolidation positions it to capture significant market share, complemented by advantages from its StructuredCertificates, which contribute to volume growth and interest income while maintaining a capital-light profile.
Bears say
LendingClub faces a negative outlook primarily due to constraints in marketplace lending, which could lead to underperformance in earnings per share (EPS). The company's origination volume remains substantially lower than two years ago, forcing a conservative approach to credit underwriting amidst ongoing macroeconomic disruptions. Additionally, the 2026 EPS guidance of $1.65-$1.80 falls short of the medium-term guidance for a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 18-20%, highlighting concerns around profitability and potential credit losses.
