Focus on the fundamentals

The stock could be down in recent months due to macro-related volatility, profit-taking, or any other reason. However, investors should focus on the fundamentals. This will clearly show that it's still a good time to add this business to the portfolio.

SoFi continues to post remarkable growth, with adjusted net revenue rising 37% in the fourth quarter (ended Dec. 31). The company's customer base is expanding quickly, going from 10.1 million to 13.7 million in the past year.

Adding perspective to the valuation

Despite the gains, investors might still be cautious due to SoFi's elevated forward price-to-earnings ratio of 32.7. After all, the last thing you want to do is overpay for a stock.

Here's where SoFi's profitability comes under the spotlight. Adjusted net income climbed 112% in 2025. It's expected to rise 72% this year. And between 2025 and 2028, the leadership team forecasts 38% to 42% annualized adjusted earnings-per-share growth. It's very difficult not to come away impressed by this trajectory.

Investors willing to buy and hold SoFi with a five- to 10-year time horizon are in position to benefit.
