Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Financials is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — loan origination volume between $6.75B and $7.75B: Comparison needs review.
View ThesisRevenue growth is slowing — up about 11% over the past year and decelerating.
View GrowthManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery, the balance sheet, market reaction to earnings.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is highly volatile — it swings about 3% on a typical day and fell roughly 85% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskLDI’s claim rests on expanding home-equity lending through broader HELOC eligibility. That growth case remains uncertain: revenue history lacks a growth figure, and Q2 FY2026 earnings missed. LDI trades at 0.4× P/B versus a 1.3× peer median and 0.5× its historical multiple. The price reflects less growth than our forecast, despite that discount. The next-quarter miss probability is 45%, and loan-origination volume comparisons need review. Peer multiples imply a price about 68% above where it trades; the thesis is on watch. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-10-30. LDI is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 1 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-30. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.
