How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does SoFi Technologies, Inc. do?
SoFi acts like a digital bank in your pocket, helping people manage their money, take out student or personal loans, and trade stocks all in one place. Interest on the loans they provide, plus fees from their financial services platform, is what brings in the cash. What really matters here is how well they keep growing their customer base while holding loan losses low in a changing economy.

Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
