Credit Acceptance's earnings rebounded 71% and ROE hit 27.8%, and big buybacks supercharge EPS — but it's a cyclical subprime auto lender.

Net income $424M · FY2025

The read

Middling fundamentals offset by an attractive price (~120% below fair value) — worth a look on the value angle.

Credit Acceptance is a highly profitable, idiosyncratic subprime auto lender, and FY2025 was a strong recovery year. Net income rose 71.0% to $424M and diluted EPS jumped 83.0% to $36.38 — the EPS outpacing net income because the company repurchased $725M of stock (+131.5%) and shrank its share count 10.7%. Revenue grew 7.2% to $2.32B, and the franchise's hallmark profitability reasserted itself: a 18.3% net margin and a 27.8% return on equity, the latter boosted by the leverage inherent in its lending model. After earnings troughed at $286M (FY2023) and $248M (FY2024) amid elevated loan-loss provisioning and funding costs, the rebound suggests credit and spreads are normalizing.
