The sleeper story everyone is missing is LPB's expansion outside their credit box - they just opened a $100 billion TAM by originating near-prime loans they previously rejected, generating pure fee income with zero capital requirements. The 44% revenue acceleration looks impressive but masks management scrambling to catch up on crypto after years of regulatory uncertainty, evidenced by hedge language like 'if all goes as planned.' The real constraint isn't demand or capital - it's execution bandwidth as they try to launch crypto, expand LPB, and scale AI products simultaneously. As Noto admitted: 'Our biggest challenge beyond 2025 is deciding what not to do.' My view changes if they start missing product launch timelines or LPB growth stalls as they spread resources too thin across initiatives.
The 30-second version
- LPB near-prime expansion is the sleeper - they quietly opened a $100B TAM
- 44% revenue acceleration looks great but it's masking a crypto pivot scramble
- Revenue per product up 50%+ but they stopped breaking out cross-buy rates by segment
