Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Synchrony Financial as a

hold

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in net income and growth in earnings per share. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including poor profit margins, weak operating cash flow and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • SYF's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 11.1%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
  • The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Consumer Finance industry average. The net income increased by 5.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $552.00 million to $582.00 million.
  • The gross profit margin for SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 31.04%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.11% trails that of the industry average.
  • Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $1,500.00 million or 9.90% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
