Yes, of course -- borrowers could default.

LendingClub also sets aside a provision to cover potential losses each quarter.</p>\n<p><b>It's still undervalued</b></p>\n<p>Today, LendingClub has a market cap under $5 billion. Some of its competitors are popular fintech companies like<b>Upstart Holdings</b>&nbsp;and<b>SoFi Technologies</b>. All of their business models are slightly different, but in general, they're all in the business of using machine learning and big data to streamline online lending, and they all go after installment loans, particularly LendingClub and Upstart.

But based on results from the last two quarters and projections for next year, the undervaluation of LendingClub is fairly simple to understand. The company has less than a $5 billion market cap, while SoFi's market cap is roughly $18.4 billion and Upstart's is $25.7 billion. Yet the revenue and profitability figures of the three over the past two quarters are not terribly different, and LendingClub has ramped up its originations, revenue, and profitability incredibly fast. In my view, the significant gap between the market caps of these three companies is not justifiable.</p>\n<p><b>Why LendingClub can double from here</b></p>\n<p>I can understand that investors may not like the fact that LendingClub is retaining loans on its balance sheet and assuming the risk. They also might believe that its tech and data algorithms are inferior to Upstart's. I very much disagree with both points. But even an investor who does hold these beliefs could rationally see LendingClub as deserving a $10 billion market cap -- which would still be far below SoFi and Upstart.</p>\n<p>Yet at Wednesday's prices, LendingClub trades around $47 per share with a $4.7 billion market cap -- less than half that level. Also, consider that LendingClub trades at only 4.4 times projected forward revenue. All of this leads me to conclude that LendingClub isn't getting enough credit, and it could double its stock price if it keeps producing consistent quarterly results.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Growth Stock Is Up More Than 340% in 2021 --- and It Can Still Double From Here</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThis Growth Stock Is Up More Than 340% in 2021 --- and It Can Still Double From Here\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-11-04 17:56 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/11/04/lendingclub-is-up-340-in-2021-and-could-double/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nLendingClub has now put up two consecutive strong quarters of earnings results after transitioning to its new model.\nWith a market cap under $5 billion, it still trades very cheaply ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/11/04/lendingclub-is-up-340-in-2021-and-could-double/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/11/04/lendingclub-is-up-340-in-2021-and-could-double/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2180798634","content_text":"Key Points\n\nLendingClub has now put up two consecutive strong quarters of earnings results after transitioning to its new model.\nWith a market cap under $5 billion, it still trades very cheaply compared to rival fintech companies like Upstart and SoFi.\n\nLendingClub's (NYSE:LC) stock price has ballooned by almost 50% since the digital marketplace bank released its second consecutive terrific quarterly report last week.
