Where ENVA is headed

Enova in 2027 looks nothing like the CashNetUSA-led payday lender people still file it under. The mix has shifted hard toward small business (OnDeck, Headway) and near-prime consumer (NetCredit), and that shift is what drives the next leg. SMB originations are now the largest single contributor, and OnDeck has rebuilt itself as the default non-bank digital lender for the small businesses regional banks stopped serving after the 2023 deposit shock. Net result: a $4.2bn cap business compounding revenue at 25%, EPS at 19%, with 25% ROE and 82% gross margins, trading like a cyclical lender about to roll.
