Executive summary

Synchrony Financial is a consumer financial services company that provides private label and co-branded credit cards, along with installment loans and savings products. It partners with retailers, healthcare providers and online platforms to offer financing at the point of sale. It earns money mainly from interest and fees on loans, so its results depend on credit performance and borrowing costs.

Return on invested capital is 21%. It pays a dividend with a yield of 1.7%. Return on invested capital describes how much profit the business earns relative to the money put into it.

StocksXray gives Synchrony Financial an X-Ray Score of 70 out of 100 (low confidence), ahead of 99% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is valuation (91) and its weakest is dividends (25).

Our fair value blend is $98.47. At $73.68 the stock trades 25% below that blend, so the label is "Fair" with high model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
