How has Credit Services moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 23% ahead of S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 14% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of S&P 500 on a rolling three-month view for 9 weeks running.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 44 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks
Is Credit Services outperforming S&P 500?

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.
Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
Sezzle Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 76% evidence confidence.
Sezzle Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
Enova International, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Credit Services at +150%. Sezzle Inc. leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +75.2%. 11 of 27 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Credit Services itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

Atlanticus Holdings Corporation has the highest Income growth at 68.7%, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Dec 2025.
What the numbers say: Lufax Holding Ltd is the scale leader at $10,570 million, 268.7% ahead of Affirm Holdings, Inc.. Atlanticus Holdings Corporation's growth is 68.7% from a $2,303 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

Gap268.7% versus #2 · Affirm Holdings, Inc.
Persistence1/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage12/28 companies · 515 observations
Investor read: Lufax Holding Ltd is the scale benchmark; Atlanticus Holdings Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.
This conclusion weakens if: Lufax Holding Ltd's growth falls below Atlanticus Holdings Corporation's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Credit Acceptance Corporation has the highest Net profit among the 28 Credit Services companies compared here, at $453 million. Affirm Holdings, Inc. is next at $383 million. EZCORP, Inc. has the highest Profit growth at 66.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 12 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Credit Acceptance Corporation leads with $453 million of TTM profit, 18.3% above Affirm Holdings, Inc.. EZCORP, Inc. shows 66.3% growth from a $148 million profit base. Compare the size of the base and persistence before ranking acceleration above profit scale.
LeaderCredit Acceptance Corporation · $453 million
Gap18.3% versus #2 · Affirm Holdings, Inc.
Persistence5/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage12/28 companies · 515 observations
Investor read: Credit Acceptance Corporation sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.
Net profit is ranked only where the comparison base is economically meaningful. Loss-to-profit flips are shown but do not win the growth table.

Investor read: Sezzle Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roa change signal.
ROA is the cleanest first comparison for lenders because the balance sheet is the operating asset.

Gross NPA — Leaders & Improvers
No company in this Credit Services comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 28 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out. Filings were read through Jun 2026.
Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality
Encore Capital Group, Inc. has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 28 Credit Services companies compared here, at 0.16×. Atlanticus Holdings Corporation is next at 0.17×. Lufax Holding Ltd has the lowest P/BV at 0.19×, so level and change sit with different companies. 25 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Encore Capital Group, Inc. has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.16×, 5.9% below Atlanticus Holdings Corporation. Only 25 of 28 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.
This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.
Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. Lower is better only if asset quality and return durability hold; cheap book value with weakening NPAs is not automatically attractive.

12 · before the conclusion, check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Credit Services comparison names 7 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 1 of the 28 companies reports on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so its rank is marked stale. 1 of the 7 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
- A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
- A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
- The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
- An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
- 1 company has an older fundamental reporting date than the sector’s freshest reporters; its rank carries a stale marker.
- Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
- Thin comparisons: Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings.

How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 28 Credit Services companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-08-04. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

Derived metricsGrowth, changes and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.

Credit Services company comparison FAQs
These 23 answers restate the Credit Services comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 28 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-08-04. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Is the Credit Services sector outperforming S&P 500?
