LendingClub (LC) Stock Forecast & Price Target
LendingClub (LC) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
LendingClub Corp's positive outlook is supported by robust growth in the personal loan market, which has experienced a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 14% over the past 15 years, along with projected loan originations increasing by 32% year-over-year in 2025. Additionally, the company anticipates margin expansion of around 260 to 390 basis points between 2026 and 2027, contributing to a forecast of over $2 in per-share earnings by 2027, indicating healthy profitability growth. The company's capital adequacy, with a CET1 capital ratio of 18.0%, along with a strong focus on credit card debt consolidation, positions it well to capture market share and generate excess capital, reinforcing its financial stability and growth potential.
Bears say
The analysis identifies several fundamental concerns contributing to a negative outlook on LendingClub's stock. The company reported credit provisions that were 4% below consensus projections, along with losses of 2.85% that fall significantly short of the long-term net charge-off (NCO) underwriting levels, indicating potential vulnerabilities in its lending practices. Furthermore, the persistent constraints in Marketplace lending and a notable decline in origination volume from two years ago raise concerns regarding the company's ability to maintain customer acquisition and ultimately deliver positive earnings per share (EPS) performance.
