Dimensional Fund Advisors LP grew its position in Synchrony Financial (NYSE: SYF) by 6.4% in the first quarter, according to the company in its most recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The firm owned 6,039,753 shares of the financial services provider's stock after purchasing an additional 365,353 shares
Synchrony Financial shares have declined despite solid purchase volume growth and improving loan balances. Loan growth is expected to drive higher net interest income in 2H 2026, with Net Interest Margin for the year forecasted at 15.5%, an improvement from 2025. Synchrony's aggressive buybacks and a 13.3% dividend provide attractive shareholder returns. The forward P/E is now a compelling 7.8.
The prevailing narrative says the consumer, squeezed by inflation, higher gas prices and a steady sense of uncertainty, is ready to pull back. Synchrony's second-quarter results point in a more optimistic direction.
