LC Stock Recent News

SAN FRANCISCO , Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LendingClub Corporation (NYSE: LC), the parent company of LendingClub Bank, America's leading digital marketplace bank, announced that it will report earnings for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 after market closes on Tuesday, January 28, 2025. LendingClub will host a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results at 2:00 p.m.

LendingClub remains an attractive investment due to significant growth opportunities, strong execution, and a valuation below historical norms, despite a strong 2024 performance. The company has evolved from a P2P lender to a mature financial institution, offering diverse loan products across personal, business, auto, and banking services. LendingClub's focus on consumer education and innovative solutions like DebtIQ and Tally positions it to capitalize on rising credit card debt and high interest rates.

LendingClub stock price recovered strongly after bottoming at $4.90 in 2023 as concerns about its viability continued. LC has soared to $17.50, its highest level since February 2022, bringing its market cap to over $1.97 billion.

LendingClub Corp. (LC) is strategically growing its customer base and profits.

I believe the 750 bps spread between credit card rates and personal loan rates will drive continued demand for debt consolidation loans, leading to double-digit origination fee growth in 2025. The 75 bps Fed's rate cuts have made the returns on LendingClub's loans significantly more attractive than US Treasuries, increasing demand from banks and asset managers. Despite a 73% rally, I find LendingClub's P/B ratio of 1.48 remains undervalued relative to its 2021 highs and industry peers.

LendingClub (LC) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

LendingClub was downgraded by an analyst after the stock had seen a big rally in the last few months. The fintech has built a larger business set to top the peak results from 2022 prior to the interest rate cuts reduced the capital for investing in personal loans. The stock is cheap at 10x normalized EPS with substantial upside from a larger market now.

LendingClub (LC) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

Americans Swipe for Rewards and Convenience, But 40% Find Credit Card Debt is Taking a Toll on Their Mental Health SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Most Americans are drawn to credit cards for convenience, credit building, or rewards with every intention to pay their balance in full every month. However, life happens and nearly half of cardholders end up carrying a balance, today paying historically high interest rates on a loan they have trouble understanding and that they never intended to take.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) made its public debut on June 1, 2021, through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Social Capital Hedsophia Holding Corp. V, led by Chamath Palihapitiya. Before the merger, the company was originally known as Social Finance, which started as a student loan financing firm before expanding into loans, and mortgage products among other finance products. After the SPAC acquisition, SoFi was equipped with substantial capital to enhance its technology stack to better scale its 2020 acquisition of Galileo. The Galileo platform was developed to deploy a wide range of financial services quickly, giving SoFi the tools to take numerous financial products to a mass market. SoFi IPO’d at $10 per share and quickly jumped 150%, but the stock has been lackluster since, now trading at $13.63 per share, down 47.13%. However, investors only care about what happens from this point on, particularly over the next 1, 3, and 5 years and beyond. Let’
