What the filing says
Credit Acceptance reported Q3 2026 GAAP net loss of $56.6M ($5.43/diluted share) vs. Q3 2025 net income of $108.2M ($9.43/share), driven by $410.9M total provision for credit losses (vs. $152.0M prior year). The company downwardly adjusted forecasting methodology for 2022–2026 loan vintages, reducing forecasted net cash flows by $291.2M (-2.5%). However, adjusted net income was $135.5M ($13.01/share), up 14.9% YoY; economic profit reached $50.7M (+17.9% YoY). Consumer loan volume surged 37.7% in units (110,010) and 51.0% in dollars ($1.4B); active dealers hit record 12,093. The company completed a $600M asset-backed financing at lowest spreads since late 2021.
Why this rating
Large forecast downgrade ($291.2M) relative to $2.8B market cap (~10% of equity value) is material, offsetting strong volume growth. Negative GAAP result masks adjusted profitability and dealer momentum.
