Let&#8217;s break these down:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_d9dTS_K0PmhMCNLAn4ZviVF_PahTiq2kt6wr1TKRYArCClA0H9povsrflQHnLDMzqa-29gpLsYc_SHgunJFbKkJaIOO6LBx9cn2nca4ec3jKDMTpcwlie83JgOIzlb3ik1Pvi7dNxvm4zdBlyC0748g_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SOFI revenue streams\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SOFI revenue streams (Tech business)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Loans are a big part of the company&#8217;s business, especially student loans. SoFi has a young client base, which it attracts through its student loan offerings, and then leverages through<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"> other offerings. SoFi also has an investing platform from which it accrues fees. It issues debit and credit cards, facilitates insurance products and also CDs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now, let&#8217;s look at how each of these products fit into the company&#8217;s segments and how these have performed in terms of revenue over the last few quarters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_3bfFDJb-BxsH9o3T-MbC16k7vTiadylw4ZZ7yWoOJGx6SxDbzHXmN65jquvBuZexvxKzhtf1L5g2YX1T1XSh1fMiy0P0c-gJy0IGXsZoBrl2RNEiwBBMmfQCC7Mo7E7mqqoTTZt-F0GGA7e62hupLSA_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SoFi segment revenue\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SoFi segment revenue (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As we can see, SoFi has three revenue-producing segments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The lending segment is the most significant, contributing close to $13 million in revenues in 2022. Within this segment, we have home, personal and student loans. Student loans are SoFi&#8217;s largest market which is why the recent Supreme Court decision was such a big deal for SoFi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Student loan originations came down through 2022 but have come back up in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The financial service segment was the second-largest revenue source in the last quarter. This includes provision of deposits, credit cards, brokerage accounts etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This has been the largest growth segment for the company, though we can see that it is still operating at a loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Lastly, we have the financial technology segment, which includes Galileo and the Technisys. These are B2B platforms that provide services to other neobanks. As we can see, this segment grew at a fast rate in 2022, but has moderated in Q1 of 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now, let&#8217;s look at the top-line number in terms of interest and non-interest income:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_1cOpUtvuQTzVdg_vCR_WRgQGeVVVGZIP5C9XsKAgAaT5fpFVm26uI9fSGW5YNljM3WSHeABt5ORiTB1B7LSfgadLQn_hAp0fQnrhAQYflcOQmQMx6aRu0s3BQMJSLVzSDaWNGt_wtAMNbdJuhtkWVk4_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SoFi Income\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SoFi Income (alphaspread)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_erv1obddJMvFanf7MEoCyk75ct6tcvrc-Qpyd-sA95vNBUpDoRicpaufSbTlQx_lXttLv8eyTOBlKfuGzQNQ30eRXI0zM0lglWXOjR8dBYOfF4IRMGE_LJeREsq3c_kip1zH698gJLrHs207NkU9tlQ_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SOFI non-interest income\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SOFI non-interest income (alphaspread)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As we can see, net interest income has grown at a 102% 3-year CAGR, while non-interest income has grown at 50% CAGR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now let&#8217;s see how this translates in terms of how this translates to adjusted EBITDA\/Net income.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_w08L4Lio06jIxBoRd4fybLhbWiLKRgyq2m-5MW1NDMaI81zYwwt5INNV4qIkD6aK-g7MJCZDWcaqZ7oJaMikrihE7w4QZrgndjC8bToc2r8K1g5Q8LAmoCy_qQUzI-Hm04iVktQfaK3tYb9sG-82U3Y_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SOFI EBITDA\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SOFI EBITDA (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">SoFi has quickly moved from barely breaking even to making over $75 million in Adj EBITDA by Q1 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Profitability has been increasing at a very fast click, which is great to see. This was perhaps one of the most standout notes from the latest quarterly report:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>We delivered another quarter of record financial results and generated our eighth consecutive quarter of record adjusted net revenue, which was up 43% year-over-year.

This adds up to a per-customer acquisition cost (CAC) of about $305.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In Q4, SoFi invested around $130 million on sales and marketing and brought in 523,000 new members. The CAC was then $248.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With that said Q1 2023, the company spent $175 million on sales and marketing, adding 433 thousand new members. This means the CAC was actually close to $404. Granted, this seems like a step back, but we must understand that each new client is a great revenue-adding opportunity for the company, especially in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_tkVgqhuKUow9b2RvqLSiYc_1tp8xefKd_sWDQDgPqbjtXIUSg75Lf1hzgirzJrRhDYoZDEdxTP_6ui_tLIqEbSWoFoFBcKdwwy697xMYGvYlV4punS6AGVDka6eyPzSQx9NbFFdmIOljaFpS6gF0qDU_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Productivity loop\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Productivity loop (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As we can see from the chart above, SoFi users tend to start by opening a brokerage account or a CD, and then slowly move into using other products, and even taking loans, which is the highest margin activity for SOFI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Granted, we have been and continue to be in a tough environment for financial stocks, but this is why I believe SoFi&#8217;s revenues could explode once the environment for credit is more favourable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With that said, the other thing I like about SoFi, and what is obviously attracting a lot of investors too, is the high growth rate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Despite the harsh environment, SoFi has been posting steady growth across the board:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_OwmqWun-cLRPHGHc0S2MFR5cPiKyNNcdTJ3Hf2Rzu_rItsqKEKqZJiT9EDTUhsmhnbbnALCEfGPl51ywCyocazOwDIXBv0CQLAmHpCBqG5bK2iRo_yR8YYhFl1mFMrrHqXrCZOaPr22gkkZpYI6kuVg_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SoFI products\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SoFI products (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_WkPCKvkDgfA1FL3rNDRPVoNslRqnMjcHEL49-sw4rAAoTRKST0wfct0g5vVlKl0dx0bJoncdE5ZdUcHXwYQgTm-Vbo07TCMLf63i0DYSDam4X-mR1sURKmFPvvKgCXgDI3cFDaWGSNijuyckhJsg_nc_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Members\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Members (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Both in terms of members and products, we have very sold YoY growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_n2rK7ajqwa4a1BUGnIGxm_MCMqEmLzubdSC3X19ctrAFIocJSGfEzSEn5qHOpOAsZ2FilP0owMhyKQVotZbuR1ThpbFepFG1mgy0-XeRTc85EXVEjPDAm0skSfGh_BDLK-Qn9QhO3Q2HQEeOab7NRnw_thumb1.png\" alt=\"Lending and financial services products\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Lending and financial services products (Investor slides)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">We can also see this when we break down lending and financial service products.

Financial companies average around a 20% net income margin, and I&#8217;d expect a company like SoFi to be able to do reach this if not more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In any case, even if we adjust the DCF valuation, SoFi should be worth, in my opinion, at least $20, which is twice its current price.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Looking at the SoFi chart, we have already run quite a bit, and why might not get another great spot to add from a short-term perspective?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/saupload_vij2N99eR-L_m2MtvoKq82RrB-VMpLQV-fsQQ9KDfq3qlmwNfg0Umdpoax12BnQsvU4RXjEBfweUDlhttulhuNKxxYCUw13mS201sFQuIArZT69tGttj13pEO4dmWpUqhfdg886AI7_qRj6ME23l7-E_thumb1.png\" alt=\"SOFI TA\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">SOFI TA (Author&#8217;s work)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I believe we are close to completing wave 3, which should take the stock into the $12-$14. Following this, we might see a retracement in wave 4 that will take us back to these levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">If we do break below recent lows, then we can see that we have very strong volume support back at $6, but I&#8217;d be very surprised if we went this low. The 200 day MA and the downward trendline should provide support well before that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This is still only an initial five-wave impulse, off what I&#8217;d consider to be the start of a much larger trend. SoFi has a lot of room to run to the upside over the next decade.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Other considerations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">While SoFi could be a great long-term investment, there are a few things to consider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Firstly, there is still some political risk concerning its student loan portfolio. However, this has largely dissipated, with the Supreme Court stopping Joe Biden&#8217;s plan to pardon them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">It&#8217;s also important to note that the company, which is still running at a loss, might have to carry out some dilution if it does not break even in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Lastly, as pointed out above, there isn&#8217;t an excellent entry point after the recent run-up, and a lot of the more immediate gains have been realized.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">SoFi is a fast-growing company with strong fundamentals. While it is hard to value, I think this should be worth at least $20 as of today and will be worth a lot more in the future. Until proven otherwise, it seems like SoFi is a consumer favourite, executing well in terms of growth and profitability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4617688-sofi-the-bank-of-the-future?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published on The Pragmatic Investor Investing Group Thesis Summary SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is a revolutionary company operating in the FinTech space.
