Our Take on Credit Acceptance
Mounting expenses are expected to hurt Credit Acceptance’s bottom-line growth. Moreover, weak asset quality because of a tough operating backdrop might hamper financials. However, the company is well-positioned for revenue growth, given the gradual increase in demand for consumer loans.
Credit Acceptance Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

It reported earnings of 48 cents in the prior-year quarter. Results excluded regulatory and restructuring-related expenses of 1 cent per share.
Results were affected by a decrease in net interest income (NII) and other income along with higher provision for loan losses. However, lower expenses acted as a tailwind for NAVI.
