SoFi Technologies (SOFI) reported impressive first-quarter results, showcasing a 41% year-over-year increase in adjusted net revenue and a 100% jump in adjusted diluted earnings per share. Despite these strong figures, the stock plummeted 15% post-announcement, trading around $16 and down 51% from its peak. This decline raises questions about market sentiment, particularly in light of a recent report questioning the company’s accounting practices.
The growth trajectory remains robust, with SoFi adding 1.1 million new customers, bringing the total to 14.7 million. The adjusted net income margin improved significantly to 15.3%, up from 9.2% a year ago. However, a notable loss of a key customer in its technology platform segment led to a 27% revenue decline in that area, although it represents less than 7% of total revenue.
For long-term investors, this dip presents a potential buying opportunity, especially given SoFi’s projected 40% annualized adjusted EPS growth over the next three years. The current valuation, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 35.4, appears attractive compared to its historical levels.
