Kyle Peterson has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight SoFi’s strong financial performance and strategic initiatives. The company’s third-quarter results surpassed expectations, with both revenue and earnings exceeding analysts’ forecasts. This success is attributed to the robust performance of SoFi’s core lending operations and the rapid scaling of its capital-light loan platform business.
Additionally, SoFi’s credit performance remains solid, thanks to its disciplined underwriting approach that prioritizes applicant cash flow data. The announcement of a partnership with Southwest Airlines to launch a co-branded debit card is expected to bolster SoFi’s tech platform business growth in the coming years. These elements combined suggest that SoFi is poised for continued growth and improved profitability, justifying the Buy rating and an increased price target of $36.
