SoFi Technologies lost 5.84% on Friday, closing at $18.06. The move erased roughly $1.4 billion from its equity value.
| Metric | Q2 2026 | Q2 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| GAAP net revenue | $1.219B | $854.9M | +43% |

| Members | 15.8M | 11.7M | +35% |
| Technology Platform revenue | $84.5M | $109.8M | −23% |
Revenue guidance increased on July 29. EBITDA, net income and EPS guidance stayed unchanged.
Friday's selloff cut roughly $1.4 billion from SoFi's value despite 43% quarterly revenue growth. At about 30 times the unchanged 2026 adjusted EPS guide, faster member and lending growth must now produce a higher per-share profit outlook.
Risk monitor: consumer credit losses, deposit pricing, Technology Platform client concentration and slower fee-based expansion.

DEARBORN, Michigan, August 30, 2026, 01:10 – Ford Motor Co. shares dipped by 0.5% as the prospect of tariffs from Canada put pressure on…

U.S.-Canada trade talks stalled over autos. Washington has threatened 50% tariffs on Canadian vehicles and parts from Jan. 1, 2027. The dispute raises sourcing and production risk across North American supply chains.

Ford's 7.5x forward earnings multiple and double-digit guided cash-flow yield offer valuation support. The market is demanding proof that Ford Pro and Ford Blue can absorb Model e losses, special charges and renewed tariff pressure. A clean Q3 cash conversion would narrow that discount; weaker margins would justify it.
