SoFi is building the future of personal finance
SoFi's earnings more than doubled year over year in the third quarter, following similarly strong performance in the first half of 2025. The strong earnings growth SoFi exhibited last quarter reflects robust growth in fee-based offerings, including banking, brokerage, credit, and loans. SoFi's financial services segment reported revenue of nearly $420 million in the last quarter, representing a 76% year-over-year increase.

Key Data Points
People are flocking to SoFi's easy-to-use app and competitive rates on loans and other products. The total number of members increased by 35% in Q3 compared to the same quarter last year. With management continuing to focus on initiatives in cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence (AI), SoFi's growth story is just getting started.
The stock trades at an expensive valuation, but it's moving higher to start the year, along with a broader rally in growth stocks. Analysts expect the company's earnings to grow at a 30% annualized rate through 2029, which should support solid compounding gains for buy-and-hold investors.
