SoFi added 1.1 million new members last quarter. That's not a typo. Fourteen-point-seven million people now use at least one SoFi product — a checking account, a personal loan, an investment portfolio, a credit card. And the company made $167 million in actual net income doing it.
The stock is down 32% this year.
Somehow this is still the conversation around SoFi Technologies. Record revenue of $1.1 billion in Q1 2026, up 43% from the year before. Record loan originations of $12.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA of $340 million at a 31% margin. And the market's response is to price the stock like the company is still that pandemic-era refi shop that nobody trusted to survive a rate cycle.
That version of SoFi hasn't existed for three years.
What changed is the bank charter. SoFi got its national bank charter in 2022, and it's been quietly building something that looks less like a fintech and more like a full-stack financial institution. Deposits fund the loans. The loans bring in members. The members open checking accounts, invest through SoFi Invest, swipe the SoFi credit card. A third of them pick up a second product. It's the cross-sell flywheel that every consumer bank in America dreams about, except SoFi built it with an app instead of a branch network.
The numbers back it up. Gross margins sit at 83.5%. Operating margins hit 18.3%. The forward P/E is 22.8x — not cheap, but not crazy for a company growing revenue at 42% and net income at 130% year over year. This quarter alone, SoFi originated $12.2 billion in loans. That's up 68% from the same period a year ago. The lending engine isn't slowing down. It's accelerating.
So why is the stock down 32%?
Two words: Technology Platform. That's the Galileo and Technisys segment — the B2B side of SoFi that powers payments and card issuing for other fintechs. Galileo revenue fell 27% in Q1 to $75.1 million. The biggest client, Chime, fully transitioned off the platform by the end of 2025. Total enabled accounts dropped 16% to 133 million. When your high-multiple growth story loses a whale client and the numbers go backward, Wall Street freaks out.
But here's what the selloff is missing: Galileo doesn't need to be the growth engine for SoFi to work. It's a bonus. A call option on embedded finance growing at a 16.8% annual clip through the end of the decade. Meanwhile, the core consumer business — lending, banking, investing — is the real story. And it's not just growing. It's profitable.
SoFi guided for $4.655 billion in adjusted net revenue this year. Q2 earnings hit on July 29. Analysts expect about $1.115 billion in revenue and roughly $0.10 in EPS. The mean price target across 24 analysts sits at $20.90 — about 13% above where the stock trades now. That's with half the analyst pool sitting on a Hold rating, waiting for proof that the Galileo narrative has bottomed. If Q2 numbers show tech platform stabilization and another quarter of 30%+ member growth, those Holds start flipping.
The broader case is even simpler. Traditional banks are losing the under-40 demographic. They know it. SoFi owns it. Fourteen million members and adding a million a quarter is not a fintech hype stat — it's a customer acquisition machine that Chase and Bank of America pay billions in branch overhead to replicate. SoFi does it with an app and a bank charter.
And the craziest part? The market cap is $23.8 billion on $3.94 billion in trailing revenue. For a company growing 42% a year with an 83% gross margin and actual GAAP profits, that's not expensive. It's a discount on the assumption that the Galileo decline never stops and the consumer business tops out. Neither of those assumptions looks particularly good right now.
