LendingClub (NYSE:LC) stock rises 1.0% in premarket trading after Seaport
Research analyst Bill Ryan initiates coverage with a Buy rating as the
company's valuation resets to "that of a growth financial stock."
Sets price target of $35, based on 13x Seaport's 2023 EPS estimate of $2.70.
LendingClub's (LC) acquisition of Radius Bank in January 2021 transformed the
company's economics with lower cost/stable funding sources, the elimination of
origination fees to third parties and the steady interest income it gets from
keeping ~20% of its originated loans, Ryan explains in a note to clients.
"We see significant growth opportunity as the company reopens its installment
lending channels and builds off a very small portfolio base, which will be
complemented through growth in new areas like auto finance and planned larger
ticket purchases such as elective medical procedures," the analyst said.
Ryan's recommendation is more bullish than the Neutral Quant rating and aligns
with the average Wall Street rating of Bullish.
