BofA unpacks potential impact of US election on Consumer Finance stocks

Bank of America analysts recently examined the potential impact of the upcoming U.S. election on Consumer Finance stocks. They emphasized that while policy differences between candidates exist, the overall health of the U.S. economy will play a more significant role in driving sector fundamentals, especially concerning unemployment and consumer financial well-being.

One area of concern highlighted by the bank is the regulatory environment surrounding mergers and acquisitions, particularly the anticipated Capital One and Discover Financial Services merger. Despite Capital One’s confidence in closing the deal in early 2025, Bank of America pointed out that the current administration is generally perceived as anti-large M&A. A change in administration could lead to a more favorable environment for such mergers, potentially reducing anti-trust scrutiny.

The issue of student loan forgiveness policies also holds importance in shaping the consumer finance landscape. Bank of America stated that the Biden administration’s forgiveness programs have had a positive impact on consumer credit but posed challenges for student loan originators. They anticipate that under a potential Harris administration, similar relief efforts will continue. Conversely, a Trump administration might halt discussions on forgiveness, potentially increasing origination volumes for refinancing lenders like Navient and SoFi.

Another significant issue discussed is the proposed reduction of late fees by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Bank of America suggested that a Republican administration could overturn this rule, which aims to decrease late fees to $8 from the current $30-$41. This move would benefit all issuers, especially Synchrony and Bread, which generate over 10% of their revenue from late fees.

Historically, stock reactions in the consumer finance sector following elections have shown resilience, according to Bank of America. They reported that while initial market reactions may vary, stocks were up around 11-12% by the 1-week mark in both scenarios. This indicates that investors prioritize post-election certainty over short-term policy-driven news.
