Turtle Creek Asset Management stated the following regarding Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BFH) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BFH) provides white-labeled credit cards (private label or co-branded) and ‘buy now, pay later’ lending as well as related loyalty program and marketing services for brand partners in North America including AAA, the NFL, Ulta Beauty, and numerous others. It also offers high yield deposit accounts to consumers under its own Bread Financial brand. It is neither the largest in its industry nor do we think of it as the leader. That acknowledgement goes to a company called Synchrony Financial which is five times larger than Bread. We know Synchrony well and in fact own it today, just not in our flagship fund. Bread’s management team is strong and the board is shareholder aligned. Once we introduce valuation, Bread is superior to Synchrony at current share prices such that today it is one of the largest holdings in the flagship fund.”
