Muddy Waters Research alleges SoFi Technologies uses financial engineering to dilute shareholders, disguises borrowings as revenue (including a claim of a $312 million unrecorded debt), and ties student-loan and secured-loan activities to management bonuses rather than genuine economic value, suggesting potential widespread misstatements and aggressive equity issuance to hit targets.
Nikola Corporation, the zero-emission transportation start-up, has continued to dilute its shares by aggressively selling new shares and issuing convertible notes to raise capital. The company's outstanding shares have increased from 779.5 million to 985.2 million within a month, with the majority of the surge caused by the conversion of convertible notes. Nikola has also announced a recall of over 200 of its battery electric trucks due to safety concerns, which is expected to result in significant expenses. The company's stock price is likely to remain under pressure due to ongoing dilution and the potential for another guidance revision. Investors are advised to consider selling existing positions.
