Analyst Expectations For LendingClub's Future

Price Target

Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on LendingClub, Raises Price Target to $20

Looking into the current session, LendingClub Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>) shares are trading at $16.15, after a 1.88% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.16%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 81.26%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734982208_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing LendingClub P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
LendingClub has a better P/E ratio of 35.78 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 34.53 of the Consumer Finance industry. Ideally, one might believe that LendingClub Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734982208_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: LendingClub

Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Timothy Switzer maintains LendingClub (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>) with a Outperform and raises the price target from $15 to $17.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Maintains Outperform on LendingClub, Raises Price Target to $17

JP Morgan analyst Reginald L. Smith noted that 2024 was a tale of two halves for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech" rel="noreferrer noopener">fintech stocks</a>. After a lagging start to the year, the aggregate market cap of the analyst&#8217;s fintech coverage universe has increased more than $65 billion since mid-September, fueled by cheerful calendar third-quarter 2024 results and management commentary, two rate cuts, and the U.S. Presidential Election.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In fiscal 2025, lower benchmark rates and an improved third-party funding environment should spur increased loan origination volume and healthier gain-on-sale (GOS) margins for fintech lenders.
However, Smith remains cautious about fintech lenders at current levels and noted investors will find a more attractive entry point following the calendar fourth-quarter earnings cycle.

Smith downgraded Upstart Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPST#NASDAQ">UPST</a>) from Neutral to Underweight and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPST/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$45&nbsp;to&nbsp;$57</a>.
Upstart Holdings benefits from a powerful flywheel effect that creates a virtuous cycle whereby more excellent repayment data leads to improved risk and fraud detection, which leads to higher approval rates and increased volume.
Smith noted the potential of Upstart Holdings&#8217; AI lending platform, especially in light of an improving consumer credit and loan funding environment, and is encouraged by the company&#8217;s increasingly durable capital base, but continues to struggle with valuation and noted shares are pricing in a snap-back to fiscal 2022-level of originations, which is at least a few quarters away.
The price target boost reflects improving funding conditions and stabilizing credit trends. The price target applies a ~5.5x multiple to Smith&#8217;s calendar year 2026 revenue estimate, a slight premium to its TTM P/S ratio, which he noted as fair given rates remain relatively high, and Upstart&#8217;s own UMI suggests the macro environment is causing default rates to be above 40% above historical levels. 
The rerating reflects Upstart Holdings&#8217; ~$13 billion annualized origination volume the last time the stock traded in the high $70 range. Smith projected a fourth quarter of $180 million and an adjusted EPS of $(0.04).
Smith downgraded LendingClub Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>) from Overweight to Neutral and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LC/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$14&nbsp;to&nbsp;$17</a>.
Smith noted LendingClub&#8217;s marketplace-bank model, which combines a marketplace&#8217;s fee income with a bank&#8217;s interest income, personal loan market opportunity, and competitive positioning.
Investor concern has shifted from the credit quality of their loan portfolio to the availability of third-party funding and the company&#8217;s ability to grow its balance sheet and improve ROTE.
The rerating reflects the company&#8217;s roadmap, but it could take several quarters to play out, and the analyst prefers names with more visible near-term growth and monetization opportunities. 
The analyst raised the price target to reflect tangible book multiple to 1.4x (from 1.2x) on improving credit trends and demand in the loan funding market, implying a modest discount to the SMID-cap bank average (1.7x), which he noted as fair until LC increases ROTCE (currently low single digits) to the SMID-Cap bank average through balance sheet growth and non-interest income.
Smith projected a fourth quarter of $210 million and an adjusted EPS of $0.10.
Smith maintained SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) with a Neutral and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SOFI/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$9&nbsp;to&nbsp;$16</a>.
Smith flagged SoFi&#8217;s positioning and go-to-market strategy and noted the company would ultimately be a winner in the neo/digital bank space and could eventually become the &#8220;American Express&#8221; of fintech. That said, SoFi&#8217;s accounting methodology, precisely its fair value discount rate assumptions, are meaningfully lower than peers&#8217; and remain a hot button for investors, likely limiting near-term stock upside.
SoFi currently trades at 3.8x tangible book. The price target reflects the promising outlook of non-interest income growth and improving GAAP profitability. Smith projected a fourth quarter of $679 million and an adjusted EPS of $0.04.
Price Actions: UPST stock is down 13.2% at $68.42 at last check Monday. LC is down 6.19%, and SOFI is down 2.47%.

Shares of banking and private equity stocks are trading higher after Donald Trump won the US presidential election.

In the current session, the stock is trading at $14.59, after a 0.27% spike. Over the past month, LendingClub Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>) stock increased by 29.08%, and in the past year, by 143.19%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730385009_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>LendingClub P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 27.46 in the Consumer Finance industry, LendingClub Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 38.29. Shareholders might be inclined to think that LendingClub Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730385009_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price.
