Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Credit Performance ImprovementAnalyst reports lower provisions, falling net charge-offs and improved roll and recovery rates in recent trusts, which together ease credit concerns and signal better-than-expected credit trends.
Share RepurchasesAnalyst notes the announced sizable share repurchase program should bolster shareholder returns and improve per-share metrics as performance normalizes.
Strategic PartnershipsAnalyst highlights that the company’s strategic partnership with private credit funds such as KKR will enable capital-light, fee-based income and help scale originations, supporting sustainable earnings growth.
Bears Say
Earnings And Expense RiskAnalyst warns that the transition to a partnership model and the associated expense ramp is expected to create initial EPS headwinds and increases execution risk for forward earnings.
Elevated Delinquencies And Loan ModificationsAnalyst flags elevated delinquency levels and a high level of loan modifications in on-balance-sheet trusts as indicators of ongoing borrower stress and potential for future credit losses.
Net Interest Income PressureAnalyst cautions that uncertainty around credit stabilization and slower balance-sheet expansion is likely to pressure net interest income and limit origination growth.

SLM Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Balanced result: the company delivered strong 2025 operating results (notably EPS growth, originations expansion, improving NIM, a strategic partnership launch, and robust capital returns) and laid out an ambitious growth opportunity from federal Plus reform. However, the near-term outlook includes deliberate but sizable investments that pressure 2026 EPS and expenses, some upticks in early-stage delinquencies and quarter NCO rates, and increased complexity from a changed loan-sale strategy. Management emphasizes long-term upside (EPS acceleration beginning in 2027 if the Plus TAM materializes) while accepting short-term trade-offs.View all SLM earnings summariesSLM Stock 12 Month Forecast
