Ticker: SOFI ($16.77, +4.29%, as of Jun-26-2025 4:15 PM ET) 🎉

Subtitle: From Robo-Advisors to Lobster Rolls (okay, not really) — SoFi Might Be the Swiss Army Knife of Fintech.

🌟 The Elevator Pitch SOFI isn’t just a bank. It’s a full-on financial carnival — with cloud banking, AI-powered investing, loan platforms, student refis, credit cards, insurance, and even financial wellness tools for your boss to offer you at work. It's banking, but with a Black Mirror twist (minus the dystopia).

Is there anything SoFi doesn’t do? 🤔

🧱️ Who's Buying This? Not quite the institutions... yet. Only 49.21% of the float is held by big names.

But insiders? They’ve been backing up the truck — especially CEO Anthony Noto.

📈 Insider Buying Spree:

Noto's notable buys (get it?):

• May & June 2024: Bought 115,000+ shares at ~$6.90

• Nov 2023: Added 66,500 shares around $6.60

That was a while back...

But one EVP bought at $16.34 in Dec 2024 — not far from today’s price.

Confidence? Sky high. 🚀

💼 If the institutions — a.k.a. Smart Money — decide to pile in, they just might fuel a long-term bull 🐂 run for the stock.

🤔 Valuation Talk:

• P/E: 40.09 | Forward P/E: 56.82 — Yes, pricey.

• Price/Sales: 6.81 | Price/Book: 2.78 — Not crazy for a fintech innovator.

• You're paying for growth, profitability, and a sprawling tech stack with network effects.

⚠️ Risks to Consider:

• Tough competition from both big banks and hungry fintechs.

• Macroeconomic drag (recession, geopolitics, interest rate swings)

• Not cheap. Bear markets can compress multiples fast.
