Can Loan Growth Aid Enova International (ENVA) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enova International (ENVA - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter and 2019 results on Jan 29, after market close. The company is expected to have witnessed year-over-year growth in revenues and earnings.
In the last reported quarter, the Chicago, IL-based online financial services provider displayed organic growth. Continued rise in revenues and loan growth were the key highlights. However, the positives were partially offset by higher expenses.
Enova boasts an impressive surprise history. It surpassed earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 15.3%.
The company’s activities in the fourth quarter were inadequate to impress analysts. As a result, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings of $1.03 has been stable over the past seven days. Nonetheless, the figure indicates surge of 98% from the year-ago reported number.
Moreover, the consensus estimate for revenues of $341.6 million suggests a rise of 9.3%.
Factors at Play
Growth in Loans: The company’s efforts to grow loan portfolio by increasing awareness of its products are likely to have attracted new customers, and thus resulted in higher loans originations in the fourth quarter. Also, it is likely to have benefited from decent consumer lending scenario.
Higher Revenues: Given the expectations of rise in loan, overall revenues are likely to have increased during the quarter. However, this is likely to have been partially offset by lower interest rates and the company’s planned exit from the U.K. market.
Notably, management expects total revenues in the range of $329-$344 million for the fourth quarter compared with $312 million generated in year-ago quarter.
Rise in Expenses: Enova’s expenses are likely to have escalated due to its efforts to attract new customers, and marketing of new and existing products.
