Altienrückkaufprogramm dazu, auch fein
Ausblick eher mau, kein Wachstum zu Q4?
Dafür wurde LC mit 30% abgestraft vor kurzem
Letztes Jahr gab es zudem Akquisitionen, daher das Mega Wachstum. Aber schon jetzt ersichtlich, was für eine Cashmaschine das ist.
Der CEO gefällt mir! Zum Buyback
„ Dies ist keine Entscheidung zur Kapitalstrukturierung, sondern wirtschaftlicher Opportunismus“
Antwort war, dass die Profitabilität bei den auto-loans noch niedriger als bei den consumer loans ist. In 2022 und 2023 wird in die ai für weitere loan-Kategorien (zum Beispiel mortgaged loans) investiert.
Es dauert dann, bis diese die Profitabilität der etablierten consumer loans erreichen. Eine klare Aussage, ob die Marge aus 2021 in 2023 wieder errciht wird; es hörte sich vor dem geschilderten Hintergrund eher nicht so an (aber das ist meine Interpretation).
"UPST's Dave G stated very plainly that all Upstart auto loans (and other pipeline products!) are retained wholly on the books until the design team feels the AI/ML algos are tuned properly and the funnel is fully developed to the desired state."
Ansonsten bin ich schwer begeistert. Ich picke mal folgende Zitate raus:
CEO Girouard saying Upstart reminds him of the early days of Google, lots of concrete steer on Upstart becoming a multi product organisation and importantly the breakout of the Auto loans business: "In fact, one of the points we made is that our auto funnel today looks much like what the personal loan funnel look like in 2019".
“With the volatility in the trading of our stock, we have seen what we believe to be attractive buying conditions at various times over the past year, and our profitability puts us in a position to be able to initiate this program and take advantage of those situations on behalf of our shareholders," said Sanjay Datta, CFO of Upstart.
Sowas höre ich sehr gerne als Aktionär :)
1. All of those loans are not accreting fee revenue to the bottom line immediately (no upfront payment and a longer lag for periodic payments to arrive)
2. The loans are net outflows, requiring retained capital to be an outflow for each incremental loan fund.
With auto loans being larger in nature, that development process cuts twice on margins.
It is temporary and indicated that this impact will be 6 months to 12 months in term for auto products. (1/2 half improvements as guidance implies)
Das Gap ist auch zu beachten.
We will see
Schönes Gefühl für mich mit Upstart mal im Plus zu sein, hatte ich bei der Aktie bisher noch kaum, fallendes Messer und so ;-)
Keine Handelsempfehlung!
