  • LendingClub Stock Pullback Offers Rare Buying Opportunity in Fintech Sector
    February 1, 2026, 8:37 AM EST. LendingClub (LC) shares dropped nearly 16% after Q4 earnings report, despite beating revenue and profit estimates with a 22.7% revenue rise and 338% EPS growth to $0.35. The dip reflects investors' concerns over flat next-quarter loan originations and modest EPS guidance, influenced by seasonal loan activity. Yet, full-year forecasts project 26% originations growth and 48% EPS growth. The stock's decline seems an overreaction given its strong performance and a planned switch to a more favorable accounting method, moving from CECL to Fair Value, which should enhance future earnings. This creates a unique entry point for investors seeking exposure to fintech growth at a cheaper valuation amid sector gains.
