SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock: Weekend Pause Near $27 as Wall Street Weighs 2026 Upside, Valuation Risk, and SoFiUSD Catalyst

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 11:53 a.m. ET — Market closed (Weekend). SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) enters the final week of 2025 with investors balancing two competing narratives: a fintech name that’s rebuilt momentum on profitability and product expansion, and a stock that now has to “earn” its premium in a market where year-end positioning, light volumes, and rate expectations can amplify every headline. That backdrop matters because U.S. stocks just ended a quiet, post-Christmas session near record highs, with the major indexes barely moving as traders looked ahead to the final stretch of the year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:23 p.m. ET — Market closed Energy stocks head into the final trading days of 2025 with a familiar tug-of-war: crude prices are weak and sentiment is cautious, but many large-cap energy companies still offer resilient cash returns—and the next batch of U.S. petroleum inventory data is due as soon as Monday. The immediate backdrop is Friday’s sharp pullback in oil. Brent crude settled at $60.64 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) at $56.74, both down more than 2% on the day as traders weighed fresh supply-glut concerns alongside shifting geopolitical expectations.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 2025, 1:22 p.m. ET — Market closed (weekend). U.S. equity markets are shut for the weekend, but healthcare stocks are heading into Monday’s session with a fresh mix of catalysts—policy scrutiny around pharmacy practices, late-year sector rotation, and drug-development headlines—against a broader market backdrop that’s still flirting with major milestones. The S&P 500 has been within striking distance of 7,000, and strategists say the “path of least resistance” for stocks has remained higher absent a shock—an environment that can favor healthcare when investors look for diversification beyond the most crowded growth trades.
