SoFi Technologies ( NASDAQ: SOFI ) made its public debut on June 1, 2021, through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Social Capital Hedsophia Holding Corp. V, led by Chamath Palihapitiya. Before the merger, the company was originally known as Social Finance, which started as a student loan financing firm before expanding into loans, and mortgage products among other finance products.
After the SPAC acquisition, SoFi was equipped with substantial capital to enhance its technology stack to better scale its 2020 acquisition of Galileo. The Galileo platform was developed to deploy a wide range of financial services quickly, giving SoFi the tools to take numerous financial products to a mass market.
SoFi IPO’d at $10 per share and quickly jumped 150%, but the stock has been lackluster since, now trading at $7.31 per share, down 71.64%.
However, investors only care about what happens from this point on, particularly over the next 1, 3, and 5 years and beyond. Let’s crunch the numbers and give you our best guess on SoFi's future share price. No one has a crystal ball and even the Wall Street “experts” are often wrong more than they are right in predicting future stock prices. But we give you our revenue and earnings projections as our peer-to-peer valuation.

SoFi Financials' Recent Stock Record Here's a table summarizing performance in share price, revenue, and profits (net income) from IPO.
| Share Price | Revenue | Net Income |
2021 | $12.50 | $977.3 | ($483.9) |
2022 | $15.81 | $1,519.2 | ($320.4) |

2024 LTM | $8.22 | $2,343.5 | ($113.3) |
*Revenue and Net Income in millions
In the last 4 years, SoFi has more than doubled revenue but that top-line growth also carried a jump in total operating costs, particularly the $720 million in sales and marketing expense in 2023. However, the increases in operating costs are money well spent with in-house technology improvements and member-generating marketing spending.

SoFi is close to hitting an inflection point in profitability and has done a stellar job of expanding revenue and improving earnings per share (EPS).
As SoFi's revenue grows, it becomes more profitable, meaning its costs per customer decrease. This scalability is important because it indicates that as the company grows, it will become even more profitable. Given that the industry is growing and SoFi is outperforming its peers, there's strong optimism that SoFi's earnings per share will continue to rise.
Key Drivers of SoFi's Stock Performance - Expansion Financial Services: SoFi's ambition to become a one-stop shop for financial services will likely drive future growth. The company plans to continue expanding its product lineup, including new lending products, investment options, and insurance services, which will cater to a broader range of financial needs.
- Bank Charter and Deposit Base Expansion: Obtaining a national banking charter allows SoFi to use its growing deposit base to fund lending operations more efficiently. This access to lower-cost funds is expected to drive net interest income growth, enhancing profitability as SoFi scales its banking operations.
- Cross-Selling and Customer Retention: SoFi's strategy of cross-selling its wide array of financial products aims to increase the average number of products per customer. This integrated approach is expected to improve customer retention and lifetime value, thereby boosting overall revenue and profitability.
