Trump announces 100% chip tariff as Apple ups U.S. investment
Investing.com - JPMorgan has reiterated its Neutral rating and $16.00 price target on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), currently trading at $20.22, following the passage of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) through the Senate on July 1. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels, trading near its 52-week high of $20.89.
SoFi shares have rallied more than 15% since the bill passed, compared to just a 1% increase in the S&P 500 Financials Index during the same period, according to JPMorgan’s analysis.
The OBBBA legislation restricts federal borrowing for graduate and professional students by eliminating the Grad PLUS program in July 2026, effectively privatizing approximately $14 billion in annual graduate loans.
JPMorgan notes this privatization creates a market more than 10 times larger than the existing private graduate school loan market, potentially generating up to $700 million in annual origination fees and $1.8 billion in gross interest income for private student loan lenders.
For SoFi specifically, JPMorgan estimates that every 10 percentage points of market share could drive an additional $1.4 billion in student loan origination volume, potentially yielding up to $70 million in incremental annual origination fees and $200 million in gross interest income.
In other recent news, SoFi Technologies reported robust financial results for the first quarter of 2025, surpassing analysts’ expectations with earnings per share of $0.06, beating the forecast of $0.04, and revenue reaching $771.76 million, exceeding the expected $740.33 million. The company raised its full-year guidance, reflecting confidence in its growth trajectory. Despite these positive results, BofA Securities maintained an Underperform rating on SoFi stock with a $13 price target, citing macroeconomic uncertainties as a concern. In addition to its financial performance, SoFi has expanded its alternative investments platform to include new private market funds, providing retail investors access to companies like OpenAI and SpaceX. The company also plans to launch international money transfer and cryptocurrency investing services later this year, utilizing blockchain technology for efficient transactions. Furthermore, SoFi shareholders recently elected board members and approved executive compensation during the annual meeting. These developments highlight SoFi’s ongoing efforts to enhance its product offerings and expand its market presence.
