Investing.com - Needham raised its price target on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) to $25.00 from $20.00 on Wednesday, while maintaining a Buy rating following the fintech company’s strong second-quarter performance. The stock, currently trading at $22.40, has delivered an impressive 201.89% return over the past year. According to InvestingPro analysis, SoFi appears to be trading above its Fair Value.
The financial services company reported second-quarter results that exceeded both Needham’s and Wall Street’s expectations for top and bottom lines. The outperformance was primarily attributed to growth in SoFi’s loan platform business, which continues to accelerate amid solid private credit demand. With a robust revenue growth of 23.62% and an overall Financial Health score of GOOD from InvestingPro, the company demonstrates strong operational momentum.
Following its earnings report, SoFi raised approximately $1.5 billion through a secondary common stock offering. Needham estimates this capital raise boosts the company’s total risk-based capital at the holding company level by approximately 440 basis points.
Needham views the pricing of the stock offering at roughly 4.4 times tangible book value as opportunistic. The research firm believes the additional capital strengthens SoFi’s ability to reach or exceed its previously provided 2026 earnings per share target of $0.55-$0.80.
The capital raise is also expected to help SoFi gain additional institutional investment interest, according to Needham’s analysis of the company’s financial position.
