SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock Today: Latest News, $1.5B Share Sale Fallout, Smart Card Launch, Analyst Targets and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 15, 2025)

SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) is starting the week with investors weighing two competing narratives: a fintech-turned-bank that’s delivered record growth and raised guidance in 2025, and a stock that’s now digesting fresh dilution after another large equity raise. As of Monday, December 15, 2025, SoFi shares were trading around $26.46, down roughly 3% on the session, after opening near $27 and sliding to an intraday low around $26.29. What’s different about this moment is the mix of “platform story” tailwinds—new products, crypto expansion, and fee-based growth—colliding with more traditional public-market gravity: valuation scrutiny and the share-count math that comes

SoFi Technologies (SOFI) Stock Today: Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and 2026 Catalysts (Dec. 15, 2025)

As of the latest available trade timestamp on December 15, 2025, SOFI stock was trading around $27.28, modestly higher versus the prior close.

Stripe Company Valuation in 2025: The Latest $106.7B Mark, Fresh Secondary Signals, and What December’s AI + Stablecoin Push Could Mean (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Stripe Company Valuation in 2025: The Latest $106.7B Mark, Fresh Secondary Signals, and What December’s AI + Stablecoin Push Could Mean (Updated Dec. 14, 2025)

Stripe is still a private company — meaning there’s no single, universally “official” live market cap the way there is for public stocks. But as of December 14, 2025, Stripe’s valuation story is being shaped by three parallel yardsticks: its last company-led tender offer, a widely reported 409A valuation mark, and real-time secondary-market indicators that update far more frequently than private funding rounds. At the same time, Stripe has spent the last two weeks stacking up headlines — from a record-breaking Black Friday-to-Cyber Monday processing surge to new AI-commerce tooling and deeper moves into stablecoins and crypto infrastructure — all

Ramp Company Valuation Today (Dec. 14, 2025): The $32 Billion Benchmark, Fresh Private-Market Signals, and What Investors Are Watching Next

Updated December 14, 2025 — Ramp’s valuation story in 2025 has turned into one of fintech’s most closely watched price-discovery case studies: a fast-rising headline valuation set by primary funding rounds, a constantly shifting “real-world” read from secondary market signals, and a business narrative increasingly anchored in AI-driven finance automation. As of December 14, 2025, the most recent disclosed valuation for Ramp (Ramp Business Corporation) remains $32 billion, established in a $300 million primary financing round alongside an employee tender offer announced on November 17, 2025.

Payments & Fintech US Stocks Week Ahead: Visa’s Stablecoin Re-Rating, PayPal’s Checkout Crunch, and the Post-Fed Data Wave (Dec 15–19, 2025)

Updated: December 14, 2025 US-listed payments and fintech stocks head into the next trading week with two forces pulling in opposite directions: a Federal Reserve that just delivered another rate cut — but is signaling patience from here — and a market bracing for a backlog of delayed economic reports that could quickly rewrite the “soft landing vs. slowdown” narrative. Reuters+1 That setup matters more than usual for this corner of the market.

7 February 2026
New York, Feb 7, 2026, 05:17 EST — Market closed. Carnival Corp & plc shares closed up 8.1% on Friday at $33.99, riding a broad risk-on move into the weekend as a regulatory filing flagged a possible executive share sale early next week.
