SoFi Edges Robinhood on Q2 Growth, Stock Dips on Guidance

SoFi posted stronger Q2 growth than Robinhood, with revenue of $1.21B (up 43%), 15.8M members and SoFi Plus surpassing 200k subscribers, while Robinhood reported $1.31B in revenue (up 32%) and 28.4M funded customers. SoFi edged ahead on growth metrics, but both stocks slid after the report as SoFi kept EBITDA guidance flat and Robinhood faced crypto headwinds; year-to-date, SoFi is down ~42% and Robinhood down ~20%, though retail sentiment leaned bullish for both.

SoFi lifts revenue forecast as costs weigh on margins, shares slide

SoFi Technologies reported strong Q2 revenue growth (adjusted net revenue up 40% to a record $1.21 billion, ahead of estimates) with adjusted EPS of $0.12, as membership and products rose sharply. Net interest income climbed 52% to $788.2 million, but margins declined as costs grew, with Financial Services contribution margin down 600 basis points and Technology Platform revenue down 23% year over year. Lending originations hit a record $14.8 billion and deposits rose to $45.5 billion. The company raised full-year adjusted net revenue guidance to $4.75–$4.85 billion while keeping EBITDA, net income, and EPS guidance essentially unchanged. The stock fell about 4% in premarket trading.

SoFi bets big on balance-sheet lending as costs rise and investors pause

SoFi Technologies posted a strong Q2 with $1.2B in net revenue and $157M net income, raising full-year revenue guidance to $4.75–$4.85B and keeping adjusted EPS at $0.60. Total originations rose 69% year over year to $14.8B, led by personal loans (+54%) and student loans (nearly tripling), while deposits grew 37%. However, costs surged (noninterest expenses up $267M; sales and marketing up 48%), fueling questions about profitability as growth relies more on balance-sheet lending. Credit quality remained solid (personal-loan charge-offs around 3.7%), but investors worry about higher lending risk and valuation amid an uncertain Fed path. Management argues the revenue visibility justifies continued aggressive expansion.)
