Our Take on Credit Acceptance

CACC is well-positioned for revenue growth, given strengthening origination trends and continued momentum across its dealer network. Growth in active dealers is another positive. However, elevated expenses are a concern.

Performance of CACC’s Peers

OneMain Holdings’ (OMF - Free Report) second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.31 per share in the consumer and insurance (C&I) segment matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the bottom line declined 9.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Results were primarily driven by an increase in net interest income (NII) and other revenues. A sequential increase in net finance receivables was another positive for the company. However, higher total other expenses and provisions hurt OMF’s results to an extent. 

Enova International, Inc. (ENVA - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $4.31, which increased from $3.23 in the prior-year quarter. The metric surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.99.

ENVA’s results benefited from increased revenues and improving credit quality. However, higher expenses were a headwind.
