In other recent news, financial technology firm MoneyLion reported robust financial results for the third quarter. The company generated a record revenue of $135 million, marking a 23% increase from the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter also hit a record high at $24 million, reflecting an 18% margin. These strong results are attributed to a significant increase in the customer base, which has reached 18.7 million, and the expansion of its enterprise segment.

In addition, Needham maintained a Buy rating on MoneyLion shares and raised the price target to $100 from $70. The firm's decision was influenced by the company's third-quarter results that aligned with Wall Street expectations and an EBITDA that exceeded consensus. Moreover, MoneyLion's guidance for the fourth quarter surpassed expectations, which Needham attributed to the growing strength of the company's enterprise business.

MoneyLion also launched MoneyLion Checkout to improve conversion rates for enterprise partners, showing positive early indicators. Despite one-time legal expenses totaling $8 million affecting EBITDA adjustments, the company plans to continue its growth in consumer and enterprise revenue streams and invest in brand marketing to enhance its direct-to-consumer offerings. These recent developments indicate MoneyLion's strategic initiatives for continued growth in the financial services landscape.
