Citizens JMP upgraded LendingClub (LC) to Outperform from Market Perform with a $23 price target following last week’s investor day. Management’s commentary provided more confidence in the company’s “significant” origination growth outlook and the corresponding better scale in the business in the coming years, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says LendingClub highlighted its “robust” buildout of funding channels with both marketplace investors and customer deposits. It cites LendingClub’s “stable” credit performance, favorable funding channels, and entry into a new asset class for the upgrade.
