OppFi reported a 3.8% year-over-year revenue decline to $149.23 million for the third quarter and lowered its 2026 revenue forecast ceiling. The fintech firm now projects 2026 revenue between $600 million and $610 million, reflecting tighter performance expectations.
Why it matters
The downward revision in profitability and revenue targets comes as the firm grapples with rising credit losses, with net charge-offs reaching 40.1% of revenue. For operators, this serves as a signal of tighter credit conditions and the potential impact of deteriorating loan portfolio quality on bottom-line earnings.
OppFi reported third-quarter revenue of $149.23 million, a 3.8% decrease compared to $155.09 million in the prior year, while total net originations declined 6.8% to $229.35 million. The company has reduced its 2026 revenue ceiling to $610 million from the previously stated $625 million.
The players
OppFi
A financial technology company that provides credit access to non-prime consumers through its digital platform.
The details
OppFi adjusted its 2026 outlook downward, cutting its expected adjusted net income ceiling from $130 million to $120 million and its adjusted EPS ceiling from $1.51 to $1.40. These projections rely on a weighted-average diluted share count of approximately 86 million. The financial results, which remain unaudited, also show a 54.6% decline in GAAP net income to $34.48 million, highlighting the pressure placed on margins by the 40.1% net charge-off rate.
Timeline

October 28, 2026, the date the company released its third-quarter financial results.
Market Landscape
OppFi's performance reflects a broader industry challenge where lenders face pressure from rising credit delinquency rates. The company's results align with documented trends of tightening credit portfolios among non-prime lenders navigating current macroeconomic conditions.
Business owners should monitor their own credit risk metrics and cash flow sensitivities to similar increases in loan defaults or charge-offs. Assessing exposure to non-prime lending products remains critical for operators managing financial risk in the current environment.
The takeaway
The decline in originations and surge in charge-offs underscore the difficulty of maintaining growth while credit quality erodes. Operators should maintain a close eye on their own accounts receivable aging reports and tighten credit standards to mitigate potential revenue leakage.
