OppFi (OPFI) Cuts Guidance but Holds the Line on 2028 Targets
OppFi (OPFI) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $145M, up 1.9% YoY, but adjusted net income fell 27% to $29M. Management cut full-year guidance but maintained 2028 EPS targets. The company is pursuing a transformative bank acquisition, BNC National Bank, expected to close in Q4 2026, with projected returns of 10% on assets and 35% on equity by 2028. Originations declined 9% due to tighter underwriting, and charge-offs increased to 40% of revenue. The stock trades at a forward P/E of 4.93.
