What are Wall Street analysts saying about Lendingtree stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Lendingtree stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of LendingTree have outperformed the industry over the past three months. Earnings estimates have been revised downward prior to the first quarter earnings release. Further, the company has a disappointing earnings surprise history, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the trailing four quarters. The company’s expansion strategies are likely to drive the top line further. Moreover, its commitment to boost revenues by diversifying non-mortgage product offerings and steady capital-deployment activities remain commendable. However, the company has been witnessing escalating expenses on enhancement of products and advertising-related costs, which restricts the company’s bottom-line expansion. Moreover, its mortgage-related product revenues are affected by lower supplies of homes. Stretched valuation also remains a concern." (4/20/2020)
2. SunTrust Banks, Inc. analysts commented, "We will review our model and valuation following the conference call." (7/25/2019)
