Why SoFi Stock Dropped 16% This Week

From Nasdaq, Inc.:

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) shares fell 16.6% this week after a Wall Street analyst downgraded the banking and fintech services stock. Mike Perito of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods lowered his per-share price target on SoFi to $6.50 from $7.50. He expressed concern that falling interest rates could negatively impact SoFi’s earnings by around $50 million, or around $0.05 per share, for every quarter-point reduction in the federal funds rate this year. Despite the pullback, SoFi management predicts the company will report its first-ever generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net profit with its fourth-quarter report later this month.
