Importantly, after five consecutive quarters of YoY decline, Discover returned to growing its loan portfolio and total loans in 3Q21 were 1% higher than 3Q20. Furthermore, the company continues to attract new customers and new accounts are up 17% over 2019 levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the pandemic,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/07\/30\/covid-consumers-did-great-job-paying-credit-card-debt-it-cant-last.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consumers<\/a>&nbsp;paid down outstanding credit balances with the help of government stimulus payments and fewer opportunities for discretionary spending, which improves the quality of Discover\u2019s loan portfolio. The company\u2019s net charge-off rate fell from 3% in 3Q20 to 1.5% in 3Q21. Discover\u2019s 30+ day delinquency rate fell 43 basis points YoY in 3Q21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover operates an extensive payments network across 200+ countries that is rivaled only by other major credit card companies Visa (V), Mastercard (MA), and American Express (AXP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover increased its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wallethub.com\/edu\/cc\/market-share-by-credit-card-issuer\/25530\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share of outstanding balances<\/a>&nbsp;from 7.6% in 2019 to 8.2% in 2020. The company\u2019s high-level customer service, as proven by its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdpower.com\/business\/press-releases\/2021-us-credit-card-satisfaction-study\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">customer satisfaction<\/a>&nbsp;rankings, fosters strong customer relationships that create a competitive advantage. When coupled with Discover\u2019s payment network, the company has a large moat that enables it to take market share from incumbents while protecting its business from new decentralized finance (DeFi) entrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover\u2019s established network and deep customer relationships have also prevented perceived threats from buy now, pay later (BPNL) companies from materializing. Our recent report on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/no-innovation-just-overvaluation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Affirm Holdings<\/a>&nbsp;(AFRM) shows that BPNL companies don\u2019t replace credit cards, but rather just increase consumer debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover\u2019s integrated digital bank and payments model provides greater value than its direct peers as well. The company\u2019s trailing-twelve-months (TTM) return on invested capital (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newconstructs.com\/education-return-on-invested-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ROIC<\/a>) of 19% is well above card issuing peers\u2019 Capital One Financial (COP) and American Express (AXP) ROIC\u2019s of 8% and 9%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s Not Working:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While card and organic student loans grew in 3Q21, Discover saw personal loan balances fall 4% YoY in 3Q21 as customers quickly paid down outstanding balances during the period. However, personal loans accounted for just 8% of the company\u2019s total loan balance in 3Q21, and the company believes its return to pre-pandemic underwriting practices for this segment will lead to future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover felt the pressure of the low-interest rate environment in 3Q21, which caused yields on personal loans to fall quarter-over-quarter. However, the company\u2019s large credit card portfolio positions the company for consistent returns even if the current low-interest rate environment persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit cards traditionally have provided a convenient transaction method, which the proliferation of digital payment platforms and DeFi now challenges.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/press-release\/global-digital-payments-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grand View Research<\/a>&nbsp;expects the digital payment market to grow 19% compounded annually from 2021 to 2028. However, Discover\u2019s extensive, secure network and credit facilities can be easily integrated within digital payment platforms. For example, Discover already leverages agreements with digital payment platforms such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/us\/webapps\/mpp\/pay-with-rewards\/discover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PayPal<\/a>, which contributed to the company\u2019s strong 3Q21 sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a
