JMP Securities analyst David Scharf raised the firm’s price target on Enova International to $49 from $42 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares.

Scharf adds that near-term drivers for the group may not change in the first half of the year, but he believes it is time for investors to dive into where they want to be "early."
