IPOE - LendingClub: Now A Fintech Bank With The Possibility For A Massive Squeeze Higher
- LendingClub's business model is transforming into one with recurring revenue, the type that receives outsized multiples across industries.
- With LendingClub's recent earnings presentation, we can develop a near and long term earnings model, which shows substantially more revenue and earnings than the current valuation implies.
- LendingClub trades at an $800M Enterprise Value. Peer companies Upstart (public) and SoFi (Going public via SPAC) command $4.3B and $8.5B valuations respectively. The valuation gap is not warranted.
- 2021 will be the year of Fintech. The outsized attention placed on this industry will be warranted. As investors see exposure to growth at a reasonable valuation, LendingClub will be attractive as the most undervalued opportunity.
- Value re-ratings happen fast in today's market. I would not be surprised to wake up and see LendingClub shares double in weeks versus months.
