Oportun Financial's Strategic Group Map
Oportun Financial is shown in red; its closest peers by combined growth, margin and ROIC are labeled. See Methodology: Strategic Group Map for how this chart is built.
Oportun Financial's trailing-12-month revenue growth of -2.3% and operating margin of 74.0% compares with an average of 4.4% growth and 55.7% margin across its 8 closest peers by combined growth, margin and ROIC -- Oportun Financial sits below that peer average on growth and above it on margin.

Oportun Financial's BCG Growth-Share Matrix
See Methodology: BCG Growth-Share Matrix for how relative share and growth are calculated and thresholded.
Oportun Financial falls in the Dog quadrant: relative market share of 0.00x vs its largest competitor, in an industry growing revenue 3.5% (median, trailing 12 months).
Source: CSIMarket API (market-cap share and industry revenue growth). The 10% growth and 1.0x share lines are standard textbook thresholds, not derived from this industry's own distribution. A caveat worth reading alongside this chart: American Express Company alone holds 37% of this industry's market cap. In an industry this dominated by one leader, the framework will place nearly every OTHER company in "Dog" or "Question Mark" purely because relative share is measured against that leader, regardless of how strong those other companies actually are on their own fundamentals. Check the Profitability, Valuation and Financial Strength sections above before treating this quadrant label as a verdict.
