Encore Capital Group raises 2026 EPS guidance, shares show potential 22-29% upside

Encore Capital Group raised its earnings per share (EPS) guidance for 2026 to $15.50–$16.00, with a fair value estimate of $140–$148 per share, suggesting a 22–29% upside from the current price of $114. The company’s strong collections and earnings have consistently exceeded forecasts, supported by elevated charge-offs, high credit card balances, and disciplined leverage. Key risks include dependence on recovery forecasts, rising legal costs, and sensitivity to interest rates due to $4.1 billion in net debt. Despite these risks, the stock remains a 'Buy' recommendation based on its growth and capital return potential.

Encore Capital Group's earnings outlook is notable as of Nov 09, 2026 16:11 WIB. For readers following the Financials sector, here is Pluang's market snapshot: out of 142 priced US Financials stocks, 83 rose and 22 fell today. Key movers include PURR at USD 8.45 with a -4.14% change, CRCL at USD 65.27 down 3.85%, and DB at USD 36.05 up 3.49%. The most notable figure is the 83 stocks that rose.
