LendingClub: Big Upside Ahead

By -

 

  • LendingClub has fallen back to mid-2021 levels despite boosting expectations dramatically in the last year.
  • The fintech is only now working on expanding beyond a digital marketplace focused mostly on credit card refinancing.
  • The stock is cheap with an EV of $1 billion while conservative net income is targeted at $140 million.
  • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street. Learn More »
Despite great earnings reports, LendingClub (NYSE:LC) has pulled back to mid-2021 levels before some big earnings beats. The fintech is a far different business now with the digital banking license creating the opportunity for an expanding banking marketplace. My investment thesis remains ultra-Bullish on the stock with the dip back below $20.

Update - Apr. 27

The market didn't want to listen, but LendingClub reported the results warranting a much higher stock price. 

-Q1 GAAP EPS of $0.39 beats by $0.15.
-Revenue of $289.5M (+173.6% Y/Y) beats by $27.07M.
-Recurring stream of net interest income grew 20% sequentially to $99.7 million and increased 439% year-over-year.
-LendingClub Bank's net interest margin increased sequentially to 8.6% from 8.3% and was up from 3.3% a year earlier, primarily reflecting growth in personal loans which generate a higher yield.

  • Outlook:
  • Q2: Total revenue $295M to $305M
  • 2022 Total revenue $1.15B to $1.25B

    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. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.

The Deutsche Bank analyst call on the meeting suggests the company still isn't ready to produce actual numbers from the generative AI demand.  C3.ai ( NYSE: AI ) shares  fell more than 8%  on Friday after investment firm Deutsche Bank reiterated its sell rating on the enterprise software company after it held its investor meeting. Analyst Brad Zelnick said the event "left a lot to be desired" as there were  no details on financials, "limited" updates on the company's operations and investors did not really attend the event, despite it being positioned as for them. "While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the company's platform, its traction with custome
