The analyst cites higher expected balance sheet growth, potential to grow market share from a competitor exit, and expectations for higher gain on sale margins as interest rates fall from elevated levels for the upgrade. Citi sees a higher multiple for SLM as it moves away from selling the bulk of its loan production in the coming years.
