New York, June 12, 2026, 06:01 (EDT)
- SoFi finished Thursday at $16.67, up 5.04%. The stock was higher again in early pre-market action.
- Wall Street’s rebound on June 11 gave a lift to risk-on growth and fintech stocks. SoFi remains high beta and keeps a “Hold” from analysts.
- SOFI may appeal now to buyers with high risk tolerance and a long-term view. More cautious investors might want to see how Q2 shakes out or wait for a dip.
SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) is back in focus Friday after the stock bounced sharply. SOFI last showed $16.86 in pre-market trade, after closing Thursday at $16.67, up 5.04%. Shares moved between $15.66 and $16.69 through the session.
U.S. stocks jumped June 11, with the Dow up 1.86%, the S&P 500 climbing 1.75% and the Nasdaq 2.54% higher, according to Reuters. The rally followed news that President Donald Trump called off planned strikes on Iran. That risk-on mood matters for SoFi, which tends to trade more like a high-growth fintech than a traditional bank.
SOFI’s valuation is still the sticking point for investors. According to Google Finance, SoFi’s market cap stands at about $21.38 billion, with a P/E of 37.79, beta at 2.14, and the stock traded between $13.97 and $32.73 in the past 52 weeks. Shares are well under last year’s high, but growth is still priced in. Google’s numbers show 18 analysts polled, consensus rating is “Hold”—that breaks down to 6 Buy, 9 Hold, 3 Sell. The average 12-month target price came in at $20.87. Google
S&P Dow Jones Indices named Marvell Technology and Flex to the S&P 500, with both set to join the benchmark before the open on June 22 when the index rebalances. Pool Corp and The Campbell’s Company will drop out. SoFi did not make the list for S&P 500 membership, cutting out a possible short-term buying wave from S&P 500 trackers.
SoFi posted stronger results than its index stumble implies. For the first quarter, adjusted net revenue jumped 41% to a record $1.1 billion. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 62% to $340 million. Total loan originations came in at a record $12.2 billion. Membership rose 35% to 14.7 million. CEO Anthony Noto said the company’s push into digital assets and growth in existing business are “strengthening and diversifying our platform.” SEC
Investors have been wary about guidance and valuation, not the underlying business. After posting record numbers in April, SoFi shares dropped when the company stuck to its 2026 revenue outlook, Reuters reported. William Blair’s Andrew Jeffrey noted that SoFi “uncharacteristically did not flow through first-quarter revenue and EBITDA upside.” SoFi still sees 2026 adjusted net revenue at about $4.655 billion, adjusted EBITDA near $1.6 billion and adjusted EPS close to $0.60.

Should investors buy SoFi now? Aggressive investors with a long-term horizon might see a buy here—the company’s revenue, deposits, member counts, and profits are all going up, and Wall Street’s average price target still tops the latest close. For conservative investors, waiting could make more sense. SOFI’s high beta, elevated valuation, “Hold” analyst rating, and lack of S&P 500 entry in June are all reasons a full-size purchase may not be the move just yet. Google
All eyes are on whether Friday’s pre-market gains for SoFi will hold after regular trading opens, following Thursday’s broad move higher. Looking ahead, SoFi investors are set for a virtual annual meeting next week, scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
