LendingClub (LC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LendingClub Corp has demonstrated a strong growth trajectory in the personal loan market, which has experienced an approximate 14% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past 15 years, leading to a projected 32% year-over-year growth in loan originations by 2025. The company is expected to achieve notable earnings per share (EPS) growth of around 150% this year, with further estimates indicating a significant increase to approximately $2.26 per share by 2027, driven by operational efficiencies and margin expansion. Additionally, LendingClub's strategic positioning, particularly in credit card debt consolidation, offers substantial market share opportunities as tighter underwriting standards in this area create favorable conditions for the company's loan origination volumes.
Bears say
LendingClub Corp faces a negative outlook primarily due to ongoing constraints in the marketplace lending sector, which have adversely impacted earnings per share (EPS) performance. The company's origination volume remains significantly lower than two years ago, necessitating a cautious approach to credit underwriting, which may hinder potential growth. Furthermore, the 2026 EPS guidance of $1.65-$1.80 is below the medium-term guidance of 18-20% return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), combined with pronounced annual losses of 4.5-5.0%, indicates underlying challenges in sustaining profitability and investor confidence.
