DBRS 2019 Outlook: Credit Card Industry Charges Ahead with Healthy Consumer Fundamentals

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS) published a commentary titled “DBRS 2019 Outlook: Credit Card Industry Charges Ahead with Healthy Consumer Fundamentals”.

DBRS’s 2019 outlook for U.S. credit card companies is stable. Card issuers are likely to benefit from sound consumer spending anchored by the healthy labor market, growing wages, and solid household balance sheets. Secular trends that favor credit card issuers are likely to continue. Credit losses are expected to rise at a gradual pace, but remain very manageable. Continued healthy consumer confidence is a key underpinning for these favorable trends.
