Company Description
Credit Acceptence Corp provides auto and related loans in the United States. The company was founded in 1972 and has a market cap of $2.27 billion.
With consumers finding it difficult to secure credit at a big bank, specialty finance companies have been seeing strong demand. That showed up in early November when Credit Acceptence reported strong Q2 results that came in ahead of expectations.
Third-Quarter Results
Revenue for the period was up 20% from last year to $134 million. Earnings also came in strong at $1.88, 7.5% ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the company has an average earnings surprise of 9.5% over the last four quarters.
The good quarter was driven by a simple combination of higher lending volume and stable collections rates.
Estimates

Valuation
