SoFi stock jumps into 2026 as Jan. 30 earnings date lands on calendar — what to watch next

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 18:43 ET — Market closed

  • SoFi set Jan. 30 for fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, with a morning earnings release and conference call
  • Shares last closed up 4.9% at $27.46 after a wide intraday range and heavy volume
  • Traders eye U.S. jobs data and the Fed’s late-January meeting ahead of the report

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) set Jan. 30 for its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, giving investors a fresh catalyst after the stock ended the first session of 2026 up 4.9% at $27.46. SoFi Investors

The timing matters because SoFi has become a high-beta read on how markets are pricing consumer credit, growth stocks and the path of U.S. interest rates. The stock’s big daily swings can draw short-term traders, while long-only investors tend to anchor to the next earnings print.

The run into late January also overlaps with market-moving macro events, including the U.S. employment report on Jan. 9 and the Federal Reserve’s Jan. 27–28 policy meeting. Both can shift rate expectations that ripple into fintech valuations and funding costs. Bureau of Labor Statistics

SoFi said it plans to release results at about 7 a.m. ET on Jan. 30, followed by an 8 a.m. conference call. The company straddles lending, consumer financial products and a technology platform that sells banking infrastructure to other firms.

Fintech shares were not uniformly higher into the turn of the year. Robinhood Markets gained about 1.9% on Friday, while buy-now-pay-later lender Affirm slipped about 0.5%, underscoring that stock-specific catalysts can still dominate day-to-day moves.

Analyst views remain split, with valuation a recurring fault line. JPMorgan’s Reginald Smith kept a Hold rating and cited a “soft-landing grind” outlook for fintech in 2026, according to a TipRanks recap that also pegged the average price target around $27.50. TipRanks

SoFi last raised its full-year outlook after posting record third-quarter results, leaning on fee-based revenue while expanding lending, Reuters reported in October. At the time, the company forecast 2025 adjusted earnings per share of about 37 cents. Reuters

For the Jan. 30 report, investors will focus on loan growth and credit trends, including whether delinquencies and charge-offs stay contained as the cycle turns. They will also listen for any shift in margin commentary — the spread between what a lender earns on loans and what it pays on deposits.

Technically, SoFi sits in a 52-week range of $8.60 to $32.73, leaving it about 16% below the high even after Friday’s rebound. The stock ended the week just under $27.50, a level traders often treat as a near-term pivot. Investing

The risk is that macro data or management commentary forces a reset: higher funding costs, weaker credit performance or softer-than-expected outlook language can hit rate-sensitive growth names quickly. With the Fed meeting two days before SoFi reports, that window could amplify volatility.

Next up is the U.S. jobs report on Jan. 9, then the Fed’s Jan. 27–28 meeting, before SoFi’s Jan. 30 results put the company’s 2026 trajectory back in focus.
