We saw a notable 35.5% YTD drop in SoFi's stock and the continuation of weak performance following the Q1 FY2024 earnings report. But I remain bullish. I believe the stock decline was primarily due to short-term guidance falling below analyst expectations, not fundamental issues within the company. SoFi's Lending segment faced slight revenue declines due to conservative strategies, but loan volumes grew significantly. Also, the Technology Platform and Financial Services segments performed exceptionally well.
SoFi is rapidly expanding as it captures market share and increases revenue. It posted its second straight quarter of net profit, and management is forecasting its first full-year profit as a public company.
SoFi Technologies' (SOFI) Financial Services and Tech Platform segments remain in great shape.
No SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI ) insider has been more bullish than CEO Anthony Noto. On Friday, Noto purchased 30,715 shares at an average price of $6.48 per share.
SoFi's bear arguments center on the competitive nature of the industry, as well as its exposure to personal loans. SoFi's revenue continues to rise as it adds customers, while the company has swung to profitability.
In my last article on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI ), I discussed how SOFI stock is misunderstood by the market. Nearly a month later, this unfortunately remains the case.
There is at least one legitimate reason SoFi stock is underperforming this year.

SoFi stock is down 30% this year, but there's some good news.
2024 hasn't been great for SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) so far, with its stock down over 30% year-to-date and plummeting more than 70% from its all-time high. This downturn has been exacerbated by a substantial short interest, accounting for over 18% of its float.
SoFi Technologies is a fast-growing online bank with 8 million customers. It is growing quickly and just generated its first profit, although with a big help from a one-time expense benefit.
