What Makes This SoFi Earnings Special?

The biggest takeaway from this SoFi earnings report is the continued momentum the company is showing. Not to mention the incredible numbers the company is putting up as a result.

Since going public, the company has grown its revenue by over 100% each quarter on a yearly basis. SoFi has shown it can continue growing despite losing over half of its student loan market.

More importantly, SoFi is now attracting the attention of Wall Street. Both Morgan Stanley and Jefferies started coverage recently with a price target of $25. The analysts noted SoFi’s growth ability.

What’s more, the company’s buying of Galileo earlier this year is already proving to be an advantage. The tech platform continues expanding with 13 new clients in the quarter. Also, client accounts grew 80% this year to 89 million.

Most people don’t know that Galileo powers some of the most popular finance companies. User favorites such as Robinhood and Chime both use the payment company’s services.

Does the Latest SoFi Earnings Report Show It’s Time to Buy?

Sofi stock is currently ripping, up over 13% today on the recent SoFi earnings growth. The company is doing everything it can to continue attracting new members. But, SoFi’s biggest advantage comes from its ability to sell its services to users.

With SoFi’s simple, effective app design, users can quickly sign up for another product. For example, if a user is interested in SoFi Invest and realizes they can earn a $100 welcome bonus by signing up for a money account. In that case, they may consider signing up for SoFi Money as well.

As you can see, SoFi is mastering its strategy in getting users to try its many products. The digital finance company is in a great position with its wide selection of services to continue breaking down barriers.

On the same note, when student loan payments continue, SoFi will be well connected with its user base about refinancing. Given that students currently owe $1.7 trillion in loans, SoFi has a massive opportunity ahead of it.

Even more, the company applied for a bank charter on July 8th, 2020. If the company does get it, it could be a game-changer for the company. Not only would SoFi be able to handle loans, but be able to offer best-in-class rates while improving its return.

All things considered, the latest SoFi earnings put the company in a great position. With engagement at an all-time high, look for SoFi to continue building on this momentum.
