Company Report

Increasing Our Fair Value Estimate to $90 on Lower Net Charge-Offs

Synchrony Financial partners with retailers and medical providers to offer promotional financing as well as private-label and co-branded general-purpose credit cards. While the company’s CareCredit cards and installment loans have consistently performed well, its private-label and co-branded credit cards, co-marketed through partnerships with retailers, can often face material headwinds when retail sales suffer.
