Big jumps: Significant volatility is expected to hinder revenue growth

The industry's performance often behaves countercyclically to the overall economy. Despite this, revenue fell during COVID-19 as massive government aid pushed up savings. These savings kept consumers financially stable, so demand credit repair services declined in 2020. As economic restrictions were lifted, many households went on a spending spree and ruined their credit, so revenue for the industry rose in 2021. While interest rates have been volatile, they've risen over time as the Federal Reserve has increased borrowing costs to cool the economy.
