Synchrony Financial (SYF) has been performing well, with its stock outperforming competitors on several strong trading days. Institutional investors have been increasing their holdings; Assetmark Inc., BNP Paribas Asset Management, and the Swiss National Bank are some notable names. Moreover, investment firms like Foundry Partners, Natixis Advisors, and Factorial Partners have also raised their stakes in SYF. There are speculations that SYF is still undervalued with a 'Moderate Buy' consensus from brokerages. Despite a rise in unemployment potentially affecting consumer lending, the company's strong revenue growth, quarterly common stock dividend, and 29% profit growth in Q3 2024 have driven positive momentum. However, concerns persist due to an increase in delinquency rates and charge-off rates, even as SYF stocks continue to soar. While some analysts indicate a potential meltdown in consumer lending should unemployment rise, SYF's long-term outlook remains strong, boosted by a renewed financing partnership with JCPenney and the successful implementation of a secondary financing program with Atlanticus.
