Synchrony Financial stock (NYSE: SYF) has lost 10% in the last week, underperforming the S&P 500 (up 0.5%). Further, the same trend was observed over the last ten days (-11% vs -3.5%) and one month period (-12% vs -8.6%). 

SYF, a premier consumer financial services company, outperformed the consensus estimates in the first-quarter results. It was because of a 17% rise in the purchase volume and a 10% growth in the new accounts. Also, the net interest income improved 10% y-o-y in the quarter. The recent stock decline was due to a record high inflation figure, aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, and geopolitical tensions, which are feared by investors to hurt consumer spending levels. Further, the current scenario is likely to increase the credit risk, leading to an increase in the provisions of credit losses.

Now, is Synchrony Financial stock set to drop further, or could we expect some improvement? We believe that there is a 75% chance of a rise in Synchrony Financial stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine-learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last eight years.
