Bread Financial Holdings Inc. faces significant business risks due to potential reductions in interchange fees or changes in the associated legal and regulatory framework. These fees, which are vital for their co-brand and general-purpose credit card transactions, are under scrutiny as merchants push for lower costs through alternative payment solutions and legislative advocacy. Recent legislative developments, such as the reintroduced U.S. bill and the Illinois law challenging interchange fees, could adversely affect Bread Financial’s revenue and operational dynamics. Additionally, changes in interchange fee structures may erode their competitive advantage with partners and expose them to penalties if compliance with evolving network regulations is not maintained.

Overall, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on BFH stock based on 5 Buys, 2 Sells and 5 Holds.
