What To Expect From Upstart’s Q2 Results?

According to data from Fiscal.ai, analysts expect the company to post $0.55 in earnings per share on revenue of $352.23 million for the quarter, implying increases of about 37% and nearly 53%, respectively, from the previous comparable quarter. 

Upstart’s July Numbers Offer An Early Read, But Macro Picture Remains Challenging

In July 2026, Upstart said that it had facilitated about $1.4 billion in total preliminary loan originations across 27.4 effective origination days, averaging $51.0 million per day. 

However, the company said that its Upstart Macro Index (UMI), which estimates how changing economic conditions affect loan defaults within its ecosystem, registered at 1.50, the highest level since January. 

The company said that a UMI of 1.50 is about 50% above what Upstart would expect in a normal economy and had increased from about 49% above normal in the prior reading. 

“UMI has remained above 1.0 since early 2022, reflecting a sustained period of elevated default risk relative to Upstart's long-run baseline, but remains below the series' peak of 1.68, reached in 2024,” the company said in a statement.
