Oportun Financial Corporation's OPRT shares have soared 80.7% this year, significantly outperforming the Zacks Finance sector. Additionally, the stock has performed extremely well compared with its close peers — Enova International, Inc. ENVA and Regional Management Corp. RM.
Opportun Financial has struggled since its 2019 IPO, with shares down 30% over five years. Q1 results show a vastly improved loan book and return to profitability.

With very little collateral behind their loans, there is risk here, combined with OPRT's own debt.
The mean of analysts' price targets for Oportun Financial (OPRT) points to a 31% upside in the stock. While this highly sought-after metric has not proven reasonably effective, strong agreement among analysts in raising earnings estimates does indicate an upside in the stock.
