Buy now, pay later stocks (BNPL) are still explosive, we said in early December.
For one, from a market valuation of about $156.58 billion in 2023, the BNPL market is expected to rally to more than $1 trillion by 2028.
Two, Americans are taking on substantial amounts of debt.
“All major loan categories tracked in the report saw increases as well. Credit card balances topped $1.2 trillion, rising 7.3% from the fourth quarter of last year and logging the smallest yearly increase since 2021,” reported CNN. “Higher levels of household debt are to be expected as they can reflect factors such as population growth, strong economic conditions, holiday-related spending and the rise of e-commerce.”
Three, more Americans are turning to buy now, pay later borrowing.
According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, “Among consumers with a credit record, 21.2 percent financed at least one purchase with a BNPL loan, up from 17.6 percent in 2021. About 20 percent of borrowers in 2022 were heavy users originating more than one BNPL loan on average each month, an increase from 18 percent in 2021. The average number of originations per borrower increased from 8.5 to 9.5.”
So, it comes as no surprise that BNPL stocks are still exploding higher. Keep reading for two of the top ways to invest in the BNPL boom.
