Upstart Holdings (UPST) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Upstart Holdings Inc. has demonstrated significant growth in loan volumes, increasing 127.5% year-over-year to 428,056, largely driven by demand from near-prime borrowers and the expansion of emerging products such as auto loans and HELOCs. The company's revenue is forecasted to grow by 63% year-over-year in 2025, supported by high transaction volumes projected to reach $13 billion in 2026, while maintaining a cautious approach to credit performance and underwriting quality. Furthermore, the automation of more than 90% of originations is expected to enhance operational efficiency, leading to improved EBITDA margins, projected to increase from approximately 20% to 30% by 2026.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Upstart Holdings Inc. appears negative primarily due to lower-than-expected revenues for 3Q25 and a downgraded guidance for 4Q25, attributed to conservative responses from its AI-powered underwriting model amidst uncertain macroeconomic conditions. The company's conversion rate declined by over 300 basis points quarter-over-quarter, highlighting the impact of reduced approval rates and increased pricing, which could lead to higher loan loss rates and pressure on investor demand. Furthermore, while there was a notable rise in applications, the anticipated revenue for 4Q25 is forecasted at approximately $288 million, falling short of the consensus estimate of $303.6 million, reflecting a potential shortfall in earnings and margins.
