Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Synchrony Financial stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Synchrony Financial’s continuous efforts in forging alliances and effecting consolidations are likely to boost business growth, enhance digital capabilities and diversify its business. It has been witnessing revenue growth since its inception on rising interest income and inorganic growth strategies. Its Retail Card and CareCredit platforms continue to boost its top-line results. We remain positive about its steady capital position as well. Shares of the company have underperformed its industry in a year’s time. The company has been witnessing a steep rise in expenses due to constant investments in digitization, which has been weighing on its bottom line. Its high allowance for loan loss also bothers."

(CTO) ahead of CTO’s 2Q19 earnings after CTO closed on a number of dispositions (both of land and multi- tenanted buildings) in late 2Q19 in addition to executing a number of new acquisitions.
