CEO
Mr. Vinayak R. Hegde
Credit Acceptance Corporation is an auto finance company that provides specialized financing programs enabling automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of credit history. It operates through a nationwide network of independent and franchised dealers, offering two primary programs: the Portfolio Program, where it advances money to dealers in exchange for the right to service underlying consumer loans, and the Purchase Program, where it buys consumer loans outright from dealers and retains collections. The company also reinsures coverage under vehicle service contracts sold by dealers on financed vehicles. Targeting subprime and non-prime borrowers, Credit Acceptance Corporation plays a key role in expanding access to auto financing in the U.S. consumer finance sector, supporting dealers in moving inventory while managing loan servicing and collections. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, it focuses on dealer-partner relationships and loan portfolio management within the finance and rental/leasing industry.

Normal free float
— 55.7% of shares trade freely, ~44.3% held by insiders/institutions
Healthy float typical of established companies. Good liquidity for entering and exiting positions without major price impact.
Small absolute float (5.8M shares) — even with a decent free float %, volume can be thin. Check average daily volume before sizing a position.
Price History (1 Year)
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
