Investors need to pay close attention to LC stock based on the movements in the options market lately.
LendingClub: Lowering Price Target But Reiterating Buy
LendingClub delivered solid 1Q25 results, beating revenue estimates but missing EPS due to higher-than-expected credit provisioning, resulting from the ongoing tariff saga. Despite some broader concerns about a looming recession/stagflation, the capital markets appear to be on solid footing. I am lowering earnings estimates, but still expect strong EPS growth this year and in 2026.
LendingClub: Already Pricing In Major Economic Weakness
LendingClub Corporation beat Q1 '25 revenue estimates, but extra provision charges for potential macroeconomic weakness led to a slight EPS miss. The fintech plans to grow loan originations, aiming for up to $2.3 billion in Q2, with the potential to double quarterly originations based on TAM growth. LC stock, trading at $10, is undervalued trading below TBV and at only 7x '26 EPS targets.

LendingClub: Cheap For A Reason Or A Mispriced FinTech?
LendingClub is one of the oldest publicly traded FinTechs around, with a banking charter to boot, lowering deposit costs in comparison to its FinTech peers. The company and its peers have seen significant volatility since the COVID and stimulus years, with the macro and rate environment looking equally unpredictable today. LendingClub is trading at 0.86x book value, but at a rather meagre 2.9% ROE in the last quarter, with unimpressive growth in originations and stiff competition in the lending space.
Down 75% From 2021 Highs, History Says This Fintech Could Rocket Again
Financial stocks are particularly interesting right now. In the span of just five years, the sector has been battered by the COVID-19 downturn, rising interest rates, and the bankruptcies of several regional banks.
LendingClub: Lowering 2026 Estimates And Reiterating Buy
LendingClub reported solid 4Q24 earnings, but guidance came in below expectations, causing the stock to sell off after earnings. Management recently announced it received an investment grade rating on the senior note of its structured certificates, enabling the company to sell these notes to insurance companies. Selling the senior notes to insurance companies should lead to better pricing on loan sales.

LendingClub: Remaining Bullish After Mixed Update
LendingClub's stock fell 20% post-earnings due to mixed results and guidance, presenting a buying opportunity for long-term investors. Despite concerns over loan origination growth, LC focuses on high credit quality and prudent growth, aiming for >$2.3 billion in 2025. Valuation remains low, and if 2025 guidance is conservative, the stock could see significant upside, currently trading at ~1.2x book value.
