Yahoo Finance What's in the Cards for LexinFintech (LX) in Q2 Earnings?
LexinFintech Holdings Ltd. LX is slated to announce second-quarter 2019 results on Aug 30, before the market opens.
In the first quarter of 2019, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results benefited from an increase in total operating revenues, partly offset by higher expenses.
Factors to Influence Q2 Results
Given continued growth in LexinFintech’s business, its loan origination volume in the to-be-reported quarter is likely to increase.
Therefore, with higher loan origination volume, the company’s loan facilitation and servicing fees are likely to improve, thereby aiding total financial services income. However, a slowdown in the China economy may have a slight adverse impact on top-line growth.
On the cost front, the company’s operating expenses have remained elevated over the past few quarters. In fact, given the continued rise in share-based compensation costs, overall expenses are likely to increase this time as well.
