Read MoreHide Full Article

Enova International (ENVA - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 3, after market close. While revenues are expected to have improved year over year, earnings are anticipated to have declined.

In the last reported quarter, the Chicago, IL-based online financial services provider’s results were adversely impacted by lower revenues and elevated expenses.

Enova has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed earnings estimates in all of the trailing four quarters, the surprise being 48.6%, on average.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings of $1.55 for the first quarter has been unchanged over the past 30 days. Also, the figure indicates a 30% decline from the year-ago reported number.

The consensus estimate for revenues of $389.5 million suggests a year-over-year rise of 50.1%.

Factors at Play

Muted Loan Growth: Decent lending scenario during the quarter is likely to have aided the company’s efforts to grow the loan portfolio by increasing awareness of its products. Thus, loan originations are likely to have improved in the first quarter.

Lower Revenues: Given the expectations of improvement in loan demand and its diversified product offerings, overall revenues are likely to have improved in the quarter. However, the top line is anticipated to have been affected by low interest rates.

Rise in Expenses: Enova’s expenses are likely to have escalated due to its efforts to attract customers, and marketing of new and existing products.
