Credit Services, equal-weighted, based at 200 S&P 500, same base, same start trailing 12-month earnings per share rising falling

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 41 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?

Credit Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.2% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a shortfall of 2.9%. 10 of 28 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. Encore Capital Group, Inc. is the strongest against the sector itself at +39.2%.

The central tension: current leadership is concentrated, so durability matters more than rank.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

Bottom line

Credit Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.2% over 52 weeks and 2.9% over 13 weeks. 10 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 13 of 28 beat the sector itself. Capital One Financial Corporation leads with income of $48,110 million, based on 17 of 28 comparable companies through Jun 2026.

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%
Encore Capital Group, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 52.5% evidence confidence.
Synchrony Financial looks inexpensive relative to peers or its own history, but its earnings trajectory has not yet earned the valuation signal.
Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation 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

Encore Capital Group, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Credit Services at +121%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +33.5%. 10 of 28 covered companies are above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-09-16.

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.

Income Scale & Growth Durability

Capital One Financial Corporation has the highest Income among the 28 Credit Services companies compared here, at $48,110 million. Visa Inc. is next at $44,488 million. The same company also holds the highest Income growth, at the 100% top of the scoring scale. 17 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Capital One Financial Corporation is the scale leader at $48,110 million, 8.1% ahead of Visa Inc.. Capital One Financial Corporation's growth is stored at the ≥100% scoring cap; the uncapped TTM change is 102.4% from a $48,110 million base, with 20 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderCapital One Financial Corporation · $48,110 million
Gap8.1% versus #2 · Visa Inc.
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage17/28 companies · 482 observations

Investor read: Capital One Financial Corporation is the scale benchmark; Capital One Financial Corporation is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: Capital One Financial Corporation's growth falls below Capital One Financial 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.

Profit Scale & Acceleration

Visa Inc. has the highest Net profit among the 28 Credit Services companies compared here, at $22,399 million. Mastercard Incorporated is next at $16,257 million. EZCORP, Inc. has the highest Profit growth at 66.3%, so level and change sit with different companies. 19 of 28 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Visa Inc. leads with $22,399 million of TTM profit, 37.8% above Mastercard Incorporated. 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.

LeaderVisa Inc. · $22,399 million
Gap37.8% versus #2 · Mastercard Incorporated
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage19/28 companies · 522 observations

Investor read: Visa 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 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: Capital One Financial 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 borrowings signal.

For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

LeaderMastercard Incorporated · 214.7%
Gap231.8% versus #2 · Visa Inc.
Persistence6/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage28/28 companies · 524 observations

Investor read: Mastercard Incorporated 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 roe change signal.

ROE shows the return to shareholders, but should be read with asset quality and leverage.

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

Synchrony Financial has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 28 Credit Services companies compared here, at 0.08×. Encore Capital Group, Inc. is next at 0.16×. 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 Jun 2026.

What the numbers say: Synchrony Financial has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.08×, 50% below Encore Capital Group, Inc.. 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.

LeaderSynchrony Financial · 0.08×
Gap50% versus #2 · Encore Capital Group, Inc.
Persistence0/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage25/28 companies · 431 observations

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.

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 2026-09-16. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

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 2026-09-16. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Is the Credit Services sector outperforming S&P 500?

Credit Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.2% over 52 weeks and 2.9% over 13 weeks. 10 of 28 covered companies beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, while 13 of 28 beat the sector itself.

Which Credit Services company is largest by income?

Which Credit Services company is growing fastest?

Which Credit Services company has the strongest 4-Factor Sector Score?

Encore Capital Group, Inc. ranks first at 64.9/100 with 52.5% evidence confidence. The score prioritizes research; it is not a buy recommendation.

Which Credit Services company has the largest deposit base?

Capital One Financial Corporation has the largest reported deposit base at $484,257 million. Bank borrowings are operating funding, not industrial leverage.

Which Credit Services company has the lowest comparable P/BV-to-ROE?

Synchrony Financial has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.08, among 25 of 28 companies whose earnings and growth are steady enough for the ratio to mean anything.

How much history does this Credit Services comparison include?

The page compares up to 20 reported quarters per company for fundamentals, returns and valuation, ending Jun 2026. Missing observations remain blank rather than being estimated.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

The four visible contributions add directly: growth and earnings up to 35 points, capital efficiency up to 25, valuation up to 20, and relative strength up to 20. Missing or stale evidence moves only the affected contribution toward neutral.

Which Credit Services company is the biggest?

Capital One Financial Corporation is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of $48,110 million, ahead of Visa Inc. at $44,488 million. That covers 17 of 28 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.

Which Credit Services company makes the most profit?

Visa Inc. earns the most, at $22,399 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 19 of 28 comparable companies. EZCORP, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 66.3%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Credit Services company earns the highest return on capital?

Mastercard Incorporated leads on return on assets at 24%, across 16 of 28 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Credit Services stock is the cheapest?

On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Synchrony Financial screens cheapest at 0.08×. Only 25 of 28 companies have earnings and growth steady enough for the ratio to mean anything, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Which Credit Services lender has the largest funding base?

Capital One Financial Corporation has the largest reported deposit base at $484,257 million. For lenders, deposits and borrowings are operating inputs rather than leverage, so they are read against asset quality and returns instead of as debt.

Is the Credit Services sector beating the market?

Credit Services has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.2% over the last 52 weeks and 2.9% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 10 of 28 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Credit Services stock has the strongest price momentum?

Encore Capital Group, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Credit Services company scores highest for research priority?

Encore Capital Group, Inc. scores 64.9 out of 100 with 52.5% evidence confidence, from 21.1 points on growth and earnings, 13.1 on capital efficiency, 13.4 on valuation and 17.3 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Credit Services companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 28 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Credit Services sector?

The 28 Credit Services companies on this page carry $1,707,355 million of combined market value. Visa Inc. is the largest at $680,881 million, about 40% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-09-16.

What is the Credit Services sector's P/B ratio?

The median price-to-book ratio across the 28 Credit Services companies on this page is 2×, measured on the 28 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-09-16.

How is the Credit Services sector performing?

10 of the 28 covered Credit Services companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 16.2% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-09-16.

How many Credit Services stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 28 listed Credit Services companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
