Goeasy Swings to Loss on LendCare Hit and Restatements Despite Loan Growth

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

goeasy ( (TSE:GSY) ) has issued an announcement.

Goeasy reported a 20% year‑end increase in its consumer loan portfolio to $5.51 billion and a 17% rise in quarterly loan originations to $951.5 million, but revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was essentially flat at $406.3 million as lower yields offset growth. The company swung to a steep quarterly loss, driven by $177.9 million in incremental charge‑offs and a $159.6 million goodwill impairment tied to its LendCare unit, a higher allowance for expected credit losses, and restatements of prior‑period financial statements that it said should replace previously filed results.

The deterioration in credit performance pushed the annualized net charge‑off rate to 23.8% from 9.2% a year earlier and led to a diluted loss per share of $20.49, versus earnings per share of $3.12 in the prior‑year quarter. Management said its long‑term outlook remains intact and pledged a focused six‑point plan centered on strengthening the direct‑to‑consumer business, underscoring efforts to stabilize asset quality and rebuild confidence among investors and other stakeholders after the accounting corrections and sharp rise in losses.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:GSY) stock is a Buy with a C$61.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on goeasy stock, see the TSE:GSY Stock Forecast page.
