Significant Improvement in June Data; Taking EPS Estimates Up to Inline w/ Consensus
Investment Thesis
We rate OMF Neutral. Non-prime lenders like OneMain are already underwriting for strong profitability even in recessionary
environments, and we think OneMain is poised to take share as traditional lenders cut customers out of their underwriting boxes.
Our key concern on OMF shares is the trajectory of losses through 2026, which depends on the rate of growth of new loans andSPECIALTY the credit quality of the existing portfolio written prior to August 2022. We also somewhat worry about competition from fintechs
in the personal lending sector.
