Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 30% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 23, 2025
Strong quarterly results pushed the stock up. Profit per share nearly tripled and sales rose 32%. The company expects to make $2.5B-$2.6B of new loans next quarter, showing solid demand. More buyers than usual are stepping in, and the recent average price is rising. Over the next 0-3 months, we look for gains on small pullbacks, while keeping an eye on borrowing costs and the risk that loan losses normalize.
Primary drivers
- Earnings nearly tripled and sales rose 32% in recent results.
- Next quarter loans expected at $2.5B-$2.6B, showing strong demand.
- More buyers than usual and the recent average price is trending up.
- Optimistic mood, but watch funding costs and normalizing loan losses.
