Updated 27 October 2026. SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) traded at $16.02 in premarket trading at 9:10 am ET on Tuesday, up about 10.8 percent from Monday’s $14.46 close (Yahoo Finance), after third-quarter results beat estimates and the company raised its 2026 revenue guide to about $5.04 billion (SoFi release).

Adjusted EPS of $0.18 topped the $0.17 consensus, adjusted net revenue rose 44 percent to $1.37 billion against about $1.25 billion expected (Investing.com), and the stock is trying to recover most of October’s slide.

Versus expectations: consensus was $0.17 of EPS and about $1.25 billion of revenue (Investing.com). Investing.com counts 11 straight quarters of EPS beats.
Members and products: a record 1.2 million new members took the total to 17.07 million, up 35 percent; products rose 44 percent to 26.67 million (SoFi release).
Lending: originations of $16.9 billion: personal loans $12.6 billion (up 69 percent), student loans $2.9 billion (up 96 percent), home loans $1.4 billion (up 44 percent). The Loan Platform Business originated $3.8 billion for third parties and added $153.4 million of adjusted net revenue (SoFi release).

First 2027 outlook: about $6.4 billion of adjusted net revenue, $2.24 billion of adjusted EBITDA, $1.28 billion of net income and $0.90 of EPS (SoFi release).

What the quarter showed

The beat came from lending and fees. Personal-loan originations rose 69 percent to $12.6 billion and student-loan originations almost doubled, while fee-based revenue reached $570.6 million, 42 percent of the total (SoFi release). The Loan Platform Business, where SoFi originates loans for third-party buyers instead of holding them, contributed $153.4 million on $3.8 billion of volume. That is the capital-light part of the model investors watch most closely, because it earns fees without adding to the balance sheet.

The weak spot is the Technology Platform segment: revenue of $87.4 million was down 24 percent from a year earlier, though up 3 percent on the second quarter (SoFi release). Financial Services revenue rose 25 percent to $525.1 million. CEO Anthony Noto said “Our conviction in the opportunity ahead has never been greater” in the release, and the guidance backs the line with numbers: the revenue guide went up by roughly $190-$290 million in one step.

Why the stock gapped higher

SoFi went into the print near its lows. The stock closed at $14.22 on 14 October and touched $13.86 intraday on 15 October, its 52-week low, and Monday’s $14.46 close was about 25 percent below the $19.18 close of 27 August (Yahoo Finance). The 52-week high is $32.73 (Investing.com). Two things changed on Tuesday morning. The quarter beat on both lines, and the 2027 outlook gives the market a number to value: at $16.02 the stock trades at about 17.8 times the 2027 EPS target of $0.90 and about 2.1 times tangible book of $7.48 a share.

Sell-side views were split going in. Monness, Crespi, Hardt started coverage with a Buy and a $20 target the day before the report, while KBW kept a Sell and cut its target to $15, citing higher rates and fair-value accounting risk (Investing.com).
