On Thursday, SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) said it is expanding its Loan Platform Business (LPB) through three new partnerships expected to generate more than $3.6 billion in personal loan funding.
Details
This includes a transaction with a leading global bank for over $1 billion and a separate agreement with a financial services group for $600 million over the next 12 months.
Additionally, SoFi has secured terms with a top-five global asset management firm, expected to provide up to $2 billion over a two-year period.
These partnerships highlight the strong demand for personal loans and reflect SoFi’s strategy to drive capital-light, fee-based revenue by connecting borrowers with institutional capital.
Notably, in 2025, SoFi’s Loan Platform Business obtained more than $10 billion in commitments to boost strong borrower demand.
Muddy Waters Alleges Accounting Red Flags
Last week, Muddy Waters, led by Carson Block, labeled SoFi a “financial engineering treadmill.”
The report alleged that SoFi’s 2025 adjusted EBITDA was inflated by 90%. Muddy Waters suggested the true figure was $103 million rather than the reported $1.05 billion. The report also questioned loan charge-off rates and “Enron-esque” off-balance-sheet structures.
SoFi management characterized the claims as a “fundamental lack of understanding” of their business. The company also signaled intent to “explore potential legal action” against the firm.
Technical Analysis
Currently, SoFi is trading 10.1% below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 33.7% below its 100-day SMA, indicating that the stock is struggling to regain upward momentum.
Over the past 12 months, shares have increased by 30.08% and are currently positioned closer to their 52-week lows than highs, reflecting a challenging market environment.
The RSI is at 23.98, which is considered oversold territory, suggesting potential for a rebound if buying interest increases. Meanwhile, the MACD shows a value of -1.0884, with the signal line at -1.0873, indicating bearish pressure on the stock.
The combination of oversold RSI and bearish MACD suggests mixed momentum, indicating that while the stock is oversold, there is still downward pressure.
