LendingClub is a digital marketplace bank using data and analytics (over 150 billion data points collected) to improve its underwriting ability and overall profitability. Its growing customer base is comprised of high-income, high-credit-score consumers. And its business model, which focuses on loan fees and interest income, is proving to be resilient.

LC’s third-quarter earnings for fiscal 2024 showed 8% revenue growth to more than $200 million. The company grew its loan originations by 6%, to $1.9 billion. That helped drive total asset growth, which was 25%, to more than $11 billion. LendingClub has also seen encouraging uptake of a new savings product, with over $500 million in deposits already.

It’s no wonder LC shares are up 87% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
