Upstart Holdings (UPST) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Upstart Holdings (UPST) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Upstart Holdings is poised for continued growth, as they have successfully pivoted their funding model to rely on committed capital partners and reduce exposure to credit risk. Their use of AI in underwriting and efficiency initiatives should further improve profitability in the long-term, and their pursuit of a bank charter will increase EPS and boost transaction volume. With a strong balance sheet and the potential for more committed capital partners, Upstart has a positive outlook going forward.
Bears say
Upstart Holdings is currently overvalued and should be avoided due to several key factors. First, the company's 2025 EBITDA margin outlook is not in line with market expectations, causing concern about profitability. Second, the company's ambitious top-line CAGR target of 35% from FY25-FY28 may be unrealistic and could lead to aggressive lending practices, potentially resulting in higher loss rates. Lastly, while the company's AI-based underwriting model may give it a competitive advantage in the near-prime personal loan market, there is no guarantee it will be successful in other adjacent asset classes such as HELOCs and auto loans.
