SoFi’s Recent 13% Upward Burst Means Execution Is Now a Must
SoFi Technologies (SOFI) rose 13.42% after Q3 earnings beat expectations, with revenue at $1.39B and EPS at $0.18. Management raised 2027 guidance to $6.40B revenue and $0.90 EPS. The stock trades at $17.14, down 34.53% YTD. Analysts see 19% upside, but past beats have not sustained gains. Key risks include shrinking earnings surprises and high credit card charge-offs.
