The digital bank's financial results are notable
SoFi's adjusted net revenue came in at $3.6 billion in 2025, up 38% year over year. It now has 13.7 million customers, after signing up 1 million new users in the fourth quarter (ended Dec. 31). Both fee-based revenue and net interest income exhibited fantastic growth.
The digital banking powerhouse is firing on all cylinders. And management is thinking ahead, with a major push into cryptocurrency- and blockchain-related endeavors.
It's time to press the buy button
The stock currently trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 36.2. Despite what seems like an elevated valuation, investors should still consider buying the business with $1,000, which accounts for about 47 shares.

Key Data Points
That's because there is no reason to believe that SoFi's fundamental momentum will let up. Even better, the business is producing surging profits. Adjusted net income is projected to rise 72% year over year to $825 million in 2026.
And between 2025 and 2028, adjusted earnings per share are expected to increase at a compound annual rate of 40% (at the midpoint). Ongoing growth like this is exactly the tailwind that investors like to see.
