Company Report

Credit Costs Have Been a Headwind for Bread, but Credit Trends Point to Stabilization

High revenue concentration in Bread’s retail credit card business means the bank faces the persistent risk of losing major partners, with Wayfair and Meijer going to Citi in 2020 and BJ's Wholesale Club to Capital One in 2022. We see retail partner loss as an ongoing threat to Bread as the firm does not have a competitive advantage that would give it an edge in retaining partnerships during contract renewal negotiations.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Bread’s buy now, pay later offering could gain momentum as consumer adoption of the financing option increases.

Bears

Bread's portfolio has materially higher credit costs than its peers, if economic conditions deteriorate we expect the firm to be harder hit.
