OneMain Holdings, Inc. is a financial service holding company engaged in consumer finance, personal lending, and related financial products. The company operates through approximately 1,400 branch offices in 44 states in the United States, as well as through its website, to provide consumer loans and related products.

Foolish Take

This move is interesting because OneMain is doing exactly what long-term shareholders might usually want consumer lenders to do late in a cycle: generate capital, tighten credit performance, and return cash aggressively. In the third quarter, OneMain posted diluted EPS of $1.67, up from $1.31 a year earlier, while managed receivables climbed 6% to $25.9 billion. Net charge-offs fell year over year, and capital generation reached $272 million, reflecting improved credit trends and portfolio yield.

Just as important, management leaned into shareholder returns. The company raised its quarterly dividend to $1.05 per share and authorized a new $1 billion buyback program through 2028, replacing the prior authorization. During the quarter alone, it repurchased roughly $32 million of stock.

Against that backdrop, the full exit looks less like a fundamental call on OneMain and more like portfolio concentration management. The position had grown to roughly 13.5% of assets, and trimming risk after a strong run can be prudent. For long-term investors, however, OneMain remains a cash-generating machine whose returns increasingly hinge on disciplined credit and capital allocation, not just loan growth.
