SoFi Technologies (SOFI) - ★★★ - Ranked #47 in our Q2 2024 SMID Equity Rankings
SoFi Technologies (SOFI) saw its shares plummet 10% on Monday, despite reporting better-than-expected first quarter results. The catalyst for the double-digit decline appears to be concerns around the company's second quarter earnings guidance, which fell short of Wall Street's projections.
The digital financial services firm provided an adjusted revenue outlook of $555 million to $565 million for Q2. This missed analysts' consensus estimate of $585-$605 million.
The disappointing Q2 guidance overshadowed SoFi's Q1 earnings beat and seemed to renew investor worries around the company's ability to accelerate growth amid a conservative approach to loan originations. Year-to-date, SoFi stock has now declined 27% as it grapples with the broader challenges facing fintechs and lenders.
While the market reacted negatively to SoFi's latest quarterly report, our team at Thirty Excel maintains a neutral outlook on the stock from current levels. We see potential upside from here, especially if SoFi can execute on its profitability goals while positioning itself for an inevitable recovery in loan demand.
