Stonegate Capital Partners has updated its coverage of OppFi, Inc. following the company's strong fiscal year 2025 performance. OppFi exited FY25 with record revenue of $597.1 million, adjusted net income of $139.8 million, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.59, representing year-over-year increases of 13.5%, 69.1%, and $0.64 respectively. GAAP net income rose 74.4% to $146.2 million.
The financial technology company's results were driven by what management refers to as "Model 6," broader implementation of risk-based pricing, and solid operating discipline. These factors improved unit economics and margin conversion throughout the fiscal year. According to Stonegate's analysis, FY25 marked a meaningful step forward in profitability, underwriting capabilities, and capital return capacity for the company.
Management demonstrated confidence in the company's financial position by returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases totaling $15.5 million at an average price of $10.04. The company maintains $20.9 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorization. Stonegate's report highlights that capital flexibility improved meaningfully during the year, with strong free cash flow, ample liquidity, and lower funding costs contributing to enhanced financial flexibility.
For the full fiscal year 2026, management expects solid growth to continue, with recent credit pressure appearing temporary rather than structural according to the analysis.

The updated coverage emphasizes that FY25 represented a breakout year for OppFi, with record revenue, earnings, and margin expansion highlighting stronger scale, pricing discipline, and operating efficiency. The company's performance suggests it has successfully navigated recent market challenges while positioning itself for continued growth in the financial technology sector serving non-prime consumers. This development matters for Texas businesses as it demonstrates how financial technology companies can achieve significant growth through operational discipline and strategic pricing models, potentially influencing investment patterns and economic activity within the state's technology sector.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond OppFi's immediate financial results. The company's success with risk-based pricing and improved underwriting capabilities could serve as a model for other financial technology firms operating in Texas, particularly those serving underserved consumer segments. The record profitability and enhanced capital return capacity indicate that the company has reached a new level of maturity within the competitive financial services landscape.
For the broader Texas economy, OppFi's performance signals strength in the financial technology sector, which has become increasingly important to the state's business ecosystem. The company's ability to generate strong free cash flow and maintain ample liquidity suggests resilience that could attract further investment to Texas-based fintech companies. As Stonegate Capital Partners continues its coverage, the firm's analysis provides valuable insights into how Texas businesses can achieve sustainable growth through operational efficiency and strategic financial management.
