Digital finances in your pocket

SoFi uses a few buzzwords that tell you what it's all about. It calls itself a "one-stop shop" for financial management, and although it doesn't quite have the most complete assortment of financial management products yet, it's always launching new ones that make it easy for users to deposit a check online or make a stock trade.

The added services are why members are joining at a rapid pace, including a record 905,000 additions in the third quarter. Revenue is growing fast, and scaling the low-cost platform is leading to higher profits. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were up from $0.05 last year to $0.11 this year in the third quarter.

Although SoFi stock won't appeal to the most risk-averse investor, those who were willing to take the risk a year ago have been amply rewarded. SoFi stock is up 130% over the past year. If you'd invested $500 at that time, you'd have $1,150 today.

The good news is, SoFi still has a long growth runway. Another buzzword, or phrase, management likes to use is that it envisions becoming a "top-10 financial institution." Don't miss the opportunity to buy it today as SoFi works to achieve its goals.
