Giverny Capital Asset Management David M. Poppe | “Credit Acceptance endured a challenging period as credit losses normalized following unusually favorable post-pandemic conditions. The market has questioned the sustainability of its underwriting model and long-term returns. We believe these concerns are overstated, as Credit Acceptance has successfully navigated multiple credit cycles over decades. Its data-driven risk pricing, dealer alignment, and conservative balance sheet support attractive long-term returns once loss rates stabilize. BSD Analysis: Credit Acceptance is subprime auto lending run with ruthless data discipline. Loss curves look ugly until you realize they're priced in from day one. Investors fear recessions and regulation, but underwriting adjusts faster than sentiment. Dealer relationships and proprietary models create barriers competitors underestimate. Returns hinge on vintage performance, not quarterly growth. The model thrives when others pull back. This is high-risk lending engineered to survive stress, not chase volume.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Oct 24, 2025 | View Pitch |
Curreen Capital Christian Ryther | “Credit Acceptance is a subprime auto lender, enabling subprime borrowers to buy vehicles from used car dealerships. The business has profitably gained share in a large and difficult market for more than two decades. Management allocates free cash flow to growing the business and repurchasing shares at attractive prices. Credit Acceptance currently trades at an attractive upside-to-downside ratio. BSD Analysis: CACC's decades-long track record of disciplined underwriting, countercyclical profitability, and aggressive share repurchases make it a uniquely resilient subprime auto lender. Its dealer-centric model generates robust returns even in tightening credit environments. Long-term EPS compounding is supported by consistent buybacks and strong cash generation. While regulatory scrutiny is an ongoing risk, CACC's conservative loss provisioning and pricing power help mitigate downside. At current valuation levels, shares appear materially discounted relative to normalized earnings power.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
Curreen Capital Christian Ryther | “This subprime auto lender has demonstrated a long track record of profitable market share gains in a challenging industry. Management effectively deploys free cash flow toward business expansion and opportunistic share repurchases, and the stock currently trades at an appealing valuation relative to its downside risk.” | BULL | Q4 2024 Dec 31, 2024 | View Pitch |
