Image

SoFi: Another Irrational Beatdown

Image
  SoFi Technologies, Inc. has consistently collapsed following strong earnings reports, leaving the stock trading below the $10 SPAC deal price. The digital bank's expansion into the mortgage loan market could be a major. The stock only trades at 14.5x '24 adjusted EBITDA targets despite growth of nearly 60% doesn't add up.

SoFi: Rising Above The Noise

SoFi continues to refute all claims the digital bank has a loan accounting issue. The student debt moratorium is set to expire within months leading to another loan growth catalyst. The stock trades at close to just 10x '24 adjusted EBITDA targets. Despite  SoFi Technologies  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) CEO making the rounds with the media and investment conferences, the market still appears to misunderstand the investment story. The fintech clearly doesn't face an issue with how the company handles  the accounting on their loan originations, yet the market constantly pushes this false narrative causing the stock to trade $5. My  investment thesis  remains ultra Bullish as the digital bank isn't valued based on the growth of the business and the strong adjusted profits.

SoFi: Irrational Hit Again

Image
  Update - May 9 The dip in SoFi following Q1 earnings was insane. The stock has shown a nice bounce back to $5.50 already. SoFi should trade back to yearly highs with blowout growth and profits.  Original article posted on May 1 SoFi Technologies, Inc. dipped again following strong Q1 quarterly results. The fintech reported another quarter with strong adjusted EBITDA profits of $76 million, which equate very close to adjusted profits. SoFi Technologies, Inc. stock is now very cheap, trading at only 10x '24 adjusted EBITDA targets. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   The market doesn't like companies reporting losses right now, and  SoFi Technologies, Inc.  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) is probably making a mistake pointing to a GAAP profit goal.

SoFi: Leading In A Crisis

Update - May 1, 2023 SoFi reported a great quarter. The market is extrapolating too much on full year guidance. The fintech beat Q1'23 EBITDA targets by over $30 million. An investor shouldn't sell just b/c the company provided conservative guidance for the full-year by just hiking guidance for 2023 by $8 million.  SoFi Technologies ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) stock  dropped 9.1%  in Monday midday trading after the fintech bank issued full-year guidance indicating some metrics could trail Wall Street expectations. The company, known for refinancing student loans, now expects  2023 adjusted net revenue of $1.955B-$2.02B  vs. $1.97B consensus  and up from its prior range of $1.925B-$2.0B. That indicates that at its worst, SOFI's annual revenue could still fall below the average analyst estimate. The company also increased its outlook for adjusted EBITDA to $268M-$288M, up from its prior guidance of $260M-$280M, and bracketing the Visible Alpha consen...

SoFi: Supreme Court Bump

Image
SoFi will benefit from a positive ruling by the Supreme Court against the student debt forgiveness plan. The bank sector came under undue pressure this week due to the sudden collapse of SVB. SOFI stock only trades at ~10x 2024 adjusted EBITDA targets. Anyone following our research over the last few months knows that  SoFi Technologies  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) doesn't need a change in the Biden Administrations stance on student debt forgiveness to reward shareholders. The good news for  shareholders is that the Supreme Court appears set to block the debt forgiveness plan by June. My  investment thesis  remains ultra Bullish on the stock after the dip back below $6 following contagion fears due to the  SVB Financial Group  ( SIVB ) collapse.

SoFi: Cheaper Than You Think

Image
Update - Feb. 2 SoFi is probably due for a pause here near $8 after the strong 2023 guidance propelled the stock higher. The short attack actually had investors selling in the $4s while CEO Noto was buying. The fintech still has more upside after a congestion period.  Original article posed on Jan. 30 SoFi reported another strong quarter with revenue growth surging to 58%. The fintech guided to another strong year with adjusted EBITDA nearly doubling to $270 million in '23. The stock is cheap at only 23x '23 adjusted EBITDA targets despite much faster growth rates.

This level was previous support for the fintech and could quickly signal a breakout once the stock reclaims the levels.  Original article published on Jan. 4 SoFi is constantly dumped on for not being profitable, yet the company is very profitable when excluding non-cash charges. The fintech should be valued based on adjusted EBITDA due to the metric approximating adjusted profits.

SoFi: No Cockroaches Here

Image
 Original article published on Nov. 28 SoFi has fallen to new lows due to irrational fears surrounding the immaterial crypto business. The Biden Admin. extending the student debt moratorium by up to 6 months isn't problematic to the long-term business prospects. The stock trades at just 2x '23 sales estimates despite strong forecasts for 34% revenue growth next year following a year with 50% growth. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   Over the last few weeks,  SoFi Technologies  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) has been hit with attack after attack to the stock.

SoFi Technologies: Irrational Hit

Image
  SoFi Technologies oddly fell hard following an initial big rally on the strong Q3'22 earnings report. The fintech expects to benefit from the student loan moratorium ending January 1, along with a potential blocking of the loan forgiveness plan. Investors appear irrationally fearful the digital bank isn't taking enough loan provisions due to loans being held longer before being sold. The stock is cheap at 15x conservative 2023 adjusted EBITDA targets. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   After an odd selloff following strong Q3'22 earnings,  SoFi Technologies  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) is poised to finish the rally the stock started.

SoFi: Gap Closed, SoftBank Out, Load Up

Image
  SoFi Tech. closed the gap at $6.63 after trading above $8 following earnings. The fintech could benefit from an end to the student debt moratorium on August 31, but the business model no longer relies on refinancing student debt to prosper. The stock trades at just 3x '23 revenue targets which is incredibly cheap for a business growing at a 50% clip. This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, Out Fox The Street.  Learn More »   In an amazing and surprising move,  SoftBank  ( OTCPK:SFTBY ) has followed through with unloading shares of  SoFi Tech.  ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) pressuring shares lower.

My  investment thesis  is ultra-Bullish on an investor being able to load on the stock of SoFi with the gap from the strong...

SoFi's SoftBank Gift

Image
  SoftBank has started selling sizable amounts of SoFi to raise funds. The investment fund still owns 83 million shares or 9% of the outstanding shares of SoFi. The stock has a gap down to $6.63, providing the ideal point to purchase SoFi. The business continues to improve with a shift away from lending products, while digital bank deposits provide the funding source unavailable at the likes of Upstart.

SoFi Technologies: Strong Prospects Ignored

Image
SoFi continues to defy the stock market by reporting 50% revenue growth.
