Summary
SoFi Technologies, Inc. has shown promising growth potential with an increase of 96% year-to-date and the introduction of new lending products, leading to a 'Buy' recommendation for the stock; however, caution should be exercised due to the stock nearing an overbought state and the need for monitoring the RSI14 index and potential fluctuations. (July 31, 2023)
Fundamental Analysis
SoFi Technologies, Inc, trading under the ticker SOFI, has a market capitalization of $8.99 billion. On July 28, 2023, the firm posted a closing price of $9.55, with a recorded change of 0.46, equating to an increase of 5.06%. Over the past year, the stock has exhibited highs and lows of $10.23 and $4.24, respectively.
Information regarding the firm's volume of 56.56 million sheds light on the liquidity aspect of the stock. With a 50 Day Moving Average standing at $7.98 and a 200 Day Moving Average at $6.15, it is evident that SoFi's stock is on an upward trend. Though yet to break the year high of $10.23, the potential for doing so seems promising, given these averages. An MACD of 0.30114 shows a positive momentum, suggesting potential for further upward movement.
Even though SoFi Technologies Inc. has an EPS standing at -$0.31 and a PE ratio of -30.81, it presents potential for growth. The RSI14 index measures at 64, implying that the stock is nearing a potential overbought state.
Significant news surrounding the stock circulates around SoFi's significant rebound in 2023, with an impressive increase of 96% year-to-date. Also, the introduction of three new key lending products demonstrates movement towards product diversification. This could play a significant role in driving the stock price higher.
Technical Analysis
SoFi's price closed at $9.55, which was close to the day's high of $9.6. This indicates bullish behaviour, with the price likely to take an upward shift in the forthcoming trading day – July 31, 2023.
While the stock currently trades above both the 50 and 200-day moving averages, the positive MACD suggests there is still upward price momentum. A pattern showing a continued trading above these moving averages implies a strong bullish sentiment in the market.
However, the RSI14 standing at 64, nearing the overbought level, necessitates a word of caution, even though it is not a direct indicator of an immediate correction.
Future Outlook and Recommendations
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) puts the stock value at $11.13, which is higher than its current price, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued. The target median, consensus and high predictions stand at $8, $10, and $22 respectively, further implying there is potential for growth.
Despite the negative EPS and the PE ratio, the stock's recent performance, its diversified product offerings, and the recent news providing positive support, present an optimistic future outlook for the stock.
Considering all technical and fundamental insights from the analysis, a 'Buy' recommendation would be deemed suitable for the SoFi stock, due to expectations for future price appreciation.
However, investors need to maintain a cautious approach, monitoring the RSI14 index and being aware of possible fluctuations. A strategy to invest in phases, rather than a lump sum, might prove beneficial to diversify the risks involved.
