As such, Ryan thinks the recent sell-off reflects less of a concern about near-term macro conditions and more of a combination of &#34;style factor compression and technicals,&#34; which is creating an attractive entry point into a business that is appealing on several fronts. Appealing how, then? Well, for one, it is &#34;compounding at scale&#34; through member and product growth alongside platform monetization. Ryan believes SoFi's &#34;one-stop shop&#34; strategy is showing up in tangible cross-sell gains and higher engagement, with the company reporting that 40% of new products are opened by existing members, while record member and product additions highlight the &#34;expanding ecosystem.&#34; Meanwhile, the company is also steadily shifting its revenue mix toward &#34;fee-based/capital-light streams,&#34; and developing underappreciated optionality across blockchain. In Q4, SoFi became the first nationally chartered bank to introduce consumer-facing crypto trading alongside its own stablecoin, SoFiUSD, issued on a public blockchain – AI, business banking, and new loan platform offerings. There has been a noticeable shift in Ryan's view over a short period of time. It was less than 2 weeks ago that SoFi reported Q4 earnings, but since then, Ryan thinks the &#34;risk/reward has improved materially.&#34; <blockquote> The analyst believes SoFi's fundamentals and medium-term algorithm look &#34;increasingly de-risked,&#34; supported by record-scale metrics. The company exited Q4 with 13.7 million members, up 35% year-over-year, and 20.2 million products, up 37% y/y, alongside record quarterly additions. &#34;Profitability momentum&#34; has also continued to build, with Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $318 million, up 60% y/y, and the company delivering its ninth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability. At the same time, the earnings power outlook has become clearer, as management's long-term framework points to roughly $1.02–$1.12 of EPS by 2028 based on its 38–42% EPS CAGR assumptions. Finally, strategic flexibility has increased, with the company adding well over $3 billion of incremental capital since the second half of 2025, expanding optionality, including for M&amp;A. </blockquote> &#34;In short,&#34; Ryan summed up, &#34;we believe the stock has de-rated, while the business has continued to execute and broaden.&#34; To this end, Ryan has upgraded his SOFI rating from Perform (i.e., Neutral) to Outperform (i.e., Buy), while his price target lands at $30, suggesting the stock will gain 43% in the months ahead. (To watch Ryan's track record, click here) 4 other analysts are also SOFI bulls, but with an additional 7 Holds and 3 Sells, the stock only claims a Hold (i.e., Neutral) consensus rating. Nevertheless, the forecast calls for one-year returns of 30%, considering the average target clocks in at $26.41. (See SOFI stock forecast)</div>
