Stephens initiated coverage of Enova International (ENVA) with an Overweight rating and $108 price target The firm initiated coverage on 13 alternative consumer finance names, saying COVID-19 and the corresponding $6 trillion of stimulus impacted nonprime finance companies across the board, in some positive and some negative lights. Some industries like auto and lenders with longer duration portfolios are still feeling some lingering impacts, including affordability and underperforming back-books, respectively, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

It sees challenging conditions persisting, but “solid companies emerging on the other side in a less competitive world.”
