📊 MIXED LendingClub Q1 2026: Record pre-tax earnings of $67M, originations up 31% to $2.7B
Revenue & Profitability
First quarter pre-tax net income was a record $67 million, more than quadrupling year-over-year. Diluted EPS was $0.44, above guidance. Net interest income rose 18% to $176 million; non-interest income was $76 million, up 12%. Provision for credit losses was under $1 million, and the net charge-off ratio improved to 3.5% from 6.1%.
Outlook
Management assumes a stable consumer and rate environment with no further Fed cuts in 2026 (versus three cuts assumed earlier). Marketplace demand remains strong with loan sales prices improving for eight of the last nine quarters. The $0.65-$0.80 full-year EPS guidance is maintained, incorporating headwinds from higher benchmark rates and reduced net interest margin expectations.
Growth Drivers
Key growth levers include the new home improvement vertical launched in April via a partnership with Wisetack, continued record issuance in major purchase finance, and expansion of marketing channels. The company also highlights AI-driven automation (90% of loans issued without human intervention) and the upcoming rebrand to Happen Bank as drivers of customer acquisition and efficiency.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Not discussed as a line-item; however, investments are being made in engineering for home improvement, the rebrand (operational costs for web, app, and communications), and AI initiatives across the organization. Marketing spend increased $10 million sequentially, with $7 million attributable to the accounting change to fair value option.
Margins
Pre-tax profit margin reached a new high of 27%. Net interest margin expanded 30 bps sequentially to 6.3% but is expected to return to around 6% as the year progresses due to the cessation of rate cuts. Operating leverage is improving through AI automation (record low production cost per issued personal loan) and lower deposit costs (down 31 bps year-over-year).
Key Risks
Risks flagged include macroeconomic uncertainty (Iran war, oil price increases, potential inflationary impact), the assumption of no further Fed cuts which pressures net interest margin and loan sales prices, potential normalization of net charge-offs toward 5%, and the need to actively manage credit underwriting in a changing environment.

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.

Data Sources & Limitations
Financial statements sourced from public filings. Prices updated daily. Forward assumptions are AI-generated. All monetary values in USD millions. Non-US ADR companies may have currency conversion inaccuracies. Models are point-in-time and do not update intra-quarter or account for M&A, macro shocks, or extraordinary items.
