Consumer health and behavior
Middle America consumers remain resilient, adjusting to post-pandemic inflation with wage growth outpacing inflation in recent quarters, supporting household budgets.
Consumers are making more deliberate spending choices, opting for value over premium brands, and credit sales remain strong into early November.
Divergence in consumer sentiment is noted, with higher-income groups less affected by inflation, while Middle America adapts and lower-income is less relevant to their portfolio.
Hard data such as employment and payment patterns remain stable, despite softening consumer sentiment.
No significant cracks are seen in payment behaviors, with improvements in delinquency and roll rates.
Credit trends and reserve rates
Delinquency and loss trends are gradually improving, with a target of 6% through the cycle; improvement pace depends on macro factors like tariffs and wage growth.
Reserve rates, currently around 11.7%, are expected to glide down as delinquency improves and risk overlays are rebalanced.
The reserve rate is projected to move toward 10% as credit normalizes, with no expectation of abrupt changes.
Loan growth has been slightly negative, influenced by elevated gross losses and improving payment rates, but is expected to inflect to low to mid-single digit growth by 2026.
New business signings and a robust pipeline, especially in the home vertical, are expected to support future loan growth.
Strategic initiatives and business mix
The company is focused on steady, disciplined underwriting, supporting brand partners without overly tightening or loosening credit.
Growth is expected to be gradual, driven by new partnerships and organic line increases for customers with improving credit.
The business mix is shifting gradually toward co-brand cards, which attract higher-end customers and offer differentiated returns based on risk profiles.
Installment lending and diversification into new verticals like home, electronics, and travel are key growth areas.
The tech platform is seen as a competitive strength, enabling wins with sophisticated partners and supporting ongoing efficiency and capability improvements.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
