By -
LendingClub (LC) is up 10% in a tough tape, but the stock should be soaring 20% or 30% or 40% on the Q2 numbers.
  • Record loan originations of $3.1 billion
  • Record net revenue of $190.8 million
  • Record adjusted EBITDA of $33.2 million 
Even the guidance was strong:
  • Reaffirms 2019 net revenue forecast of $765M-$795M
  • 2019 adjusted net loss of $5M-$20M vs prior range of $9M-$29M.
  • Q3 net revenue of $200M-$210M; consensus estimate of $204.7M
  • Q3 adjusted net income of $0M-$5M
The fintech has $670 million in cash and financial assets with a market cap of only $1.2 billion. The stock should trade at multiples of the current stock price.

One of the best opportunities out there. P2P is the finance sector of tomorrow and keeps on growing robustly. LC is the biggest and only solely dedicated (excluding companies like Goldman Sachs) publicly traded U.S. company in the sector.

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals.
