NASDAQ:SOFI 18 June 2026 - 30 June 2026

SoFi Technologies, Inc. traded up before the bell Monday, but Friday's volume was the clearer signal. Shares finished Friday at $17.88, gaining 3.35%, after touching $17.97 in the session. Early Monday, SOFI was quoted at $18.11 in the premarket, sitting 21% off its 52-week low and still 45% below the 52-week high. There’s a big short base here, but it isn’t stuck. MarketWatch put short interest at 195.79 million shares on June 15, or 15.55% of the float. That works out to about 2.8 days to cover, with the stock averaging 69.85 million shares in daily volume. So a squeeze could move the stock, though it probably won’t be the only thing driving it.

SoFi Technologies, Inc. heads into Friday with investors watching to see if index flows are the next driver for the stock, after a new AI trading product failed to move shares much. No rerate yet, and attention shifts away from headline risk for now. Shares were little changed at around $17.30 ahead of the Nasdaq open.

SoFi Technologies, Inc. slipped after a brief surge tied to its Composer AI deal. The stock jumped past the median Wall Street target, touching $18.43 on Wednesday, but couldn’t keep the gain. SOFI ended at $17.31, up 0.12%. Volume ran heavy at 119.99 million shares, well above the 65-day average of 69.04 million, according to WSJ/FactSet. The close topped the S&P 500’s 0.10% decline and a 1.09% slide in financials. As of 05:02 a.m. EDT Thursday, SoFi traded at $17.52 pre-market, up 1.21% ahead of the Nasdaq open at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Shares of SoFi Technologies fell in Monday afternoon trading, giving back early June momentum as investors tested whether repeated insider buying can still steady a stock that has been weak for much of the year. The shares were recently around $17.26, down 65 cents, with intraday volume above 49 million shares. The move matters now because the price is sitting almost on top of a quiet reference point: Noto’s 2026 open-market buying average. Benzinga reported on Monday that Noto has bought 130,211 shares this year at a blended average of about $17.29, including 13,888 shares in June at $18.06, and now holds roughly 11.96 million shares directly.

U.S. Education Department is giving federal student-loan borrowers a shot at lower rates if they set up automatic payments, rolling out a two-year, 1-point interest rate cut as part of a broader repayment revamp starting July 1. The offer covers Direct Loans issued after July 1, 2012. Borrowers either already on auto pay or who sign up by Sept. 30 are eligible, the department said. Loan timing is key. Federal loans first disbursed between July 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027, will use a 4.468% 10-year Treasury yield to set rates. Undergraduate Direct Loans will carry a 6.52% fixed rate, graduate Direct Loans 8.07%, and PLUS loans 9.07%. Those rates stay fixed for the life of the loan.

SoFi Technologies shares picked up steam heading into the week, closing at $17.91 on Thursday, a 2.8% gain in the last U.S. session before the Juneteenth holiday. The digital lender ended last week at $16.58, so SoFi added about 8% over the four sessions. SoFi is now behaving more like a high-beta fintech stock than a standard lender, tied to swings in risk appetite, rate moves and consumer credit sentiment. Gains in the broader market padded things: the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.91% on Thursday and finished the week up 2.43%. The S&P 500 added 0.93% for the week, helped by weaker oil prices and chip stocks, even as worries about more Fed rate hikes returned.

SoFi Technologies shares ended Thursday at $17.91, up 2.81%, with fresh insider buying coming in before the Juneteenth holiday break. U.S. stock markets, including Nasdaq and NYSE, are closed Friday for the holiday. That’s key today as the stock looks for footing after a steep 2026 slump. SoFi closed Thursday still far off its 52-week high of $32.73, despite this week’s rally. Investors are still trying to square record Q1 numbers with management’s call in April to leave full-year guidance unchanged.

SoFi Technologies shares rose in pre-market trade on Thursday after Chief Executive Anthony Noto disclosed a fresh purchase of company stock, giving the beaten-down fintech name a company-specific lift before a shortened U.S. trading week. The stock was quoted at $18.02 at 5:00 a.m. ET, up 3.44% from Wednesday’s regular-session close of $17.42, according to Public.com data. Pre-market trading means orders placed before the regular Nasdaq session; it often has thinner volume and wider price swings than normal trading.
