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.

-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

    ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

    By -

      ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one? Members of Out Fox The Street get exclusive access to our model portfolio.  Learn More » After  solid FQ2'22 earnings ,  ChargePoint Holdings  ( CHPT ) has seen a nice bump in the stock. Now investors have to confront the valuation divide and deal with the past insider sales likely leading to future sales on any stock rallies. My  investment thesis  remains very Bearish on the EV charging station stock on any rallies into the mid-$20s. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha.  Disclosure: No position mentioned.

    Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

    By -
    Image
    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. 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.
