SoFi posted impressive revenue gains Y/Y and the FinTech is set for continual growth. The stock is a buy!</p>\n<p><b>Why SoFi Technologies is a buy</b></p>\n<p>SoFi is a rapidly growing FinTech company whose customer count has really taken off in the last two years. Members - which is SoFi’s term for its customers - have grown from 759,000 in Q2’19 to $2.56M in Q2’21, which is equal to an annual growth rate of 84%. SoFi’s growth accelerated during the pandemic as more people relied on mobile devices to bank and invest. Although the pandemic effects have started to wear off and people returned to work again in Q2’21, the FinTech continued to see strong Q/Q growth in its customer base. SoFi signed on 279,000 new members in the last quarter, which is an increase of 12% Q/Q. If SoFi continues to grow at this rate, the firm should see at least 3M members by the end of the year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c33724614ab4fbd569eec237fd2a815a\" tg-width=\"942\" tg-height=\"489\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source:SoFi)</span></p>\n<p>Besides offering lending and financial services products, SoFi owns a payment processing platform aimed at the enterprise market. The digital payments platform operates under the brand “Galileo” and it has also seen strong continual customer growth. Growth in Galileo accounts moderated slightly in Q2’21, but still grew 119% Y/Y. During the last quarter, Galileo gained 9M new customers and the FinTech had 79M customer on its digital payments platform at the end of the quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38404ade2d4b3fcaee78a14007dd9a3d\" tg-width=\"950\" tg-height=\"482\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: SoFi)</span></p>\n<p>The strength of SoFi's personal finance platform is that it provides a one-stop banking solution for customers that require more than just one product. A customer that needs student loan refinancing may also need a credit card or purchase a mortgage financing solution from SoFi Technologies. Once a customer is signed on to the platform and part of the ecosystem, SoFi can target the member with customized offers.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/034e1b3b74eaed8a52be1cc8f41267c8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"339\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: SoFi)</span></p>\n<p>SoFi does a good job at that. The firm rolled out more tailored products in Q2’21, with strong growth present in the financial services category. The biggest growth opportunity for the FinTech is financial services and the firm is adding new products to improve uptake and customer monetization. Financial services products grew 243% Y/Y to 2.69M and are the driving source behind SoFi’s revenue growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e4c8bf0fdefa78680c4438d445fc765\" tg-width=\"942\" tg-height=\"488\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: SoFi)</span></p>\n<p>The second-quarter is generally a strong quarter for SoFi. Revenues for the second-quarter were $237M, showing growth of 74% Y/Y. SoFi’s Q2’21 adjusted EBITDA reached $11M which means the personal finance platform has been profitable for four straight quarters. The FinTech’s total adjusted EBITDA over the last twelve months totaled $61M on revenues of $852M.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f31200106422df0d70c25b82af11ff1\" tg-width=\"970\" tg-height=\"517\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: SoFi)</span></p>\n<p><b>Strong liquidity, low debt</b></p>\n<p>As a FinTech company, SoFi’s main assets are the personal finance and payment processing platforms it owns, and the human capital behind it. SoFi carries $2.3B of financial debt and is flush in cash… with $462M directly available for the firm’s digital growth strategy.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b554a55447ea522606eba7f6eebd143c\" tg-width=\"990\" tg-height=\"796\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source:SoFi)</span></p>\n<p><b>Buy, buy, buy</b></p>\n<p>SoFi reiterated its outlook for the rest of the year and continues to project $980M in revenues and $27M in adjusted EBITDA for FY 2021. The personal finance platform also expects to see its first positive EBITDA margin this year. The guidance implies 58% Y/Y growth in revenues with strong momentum continuing in member acquisition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d0dafcf3d0836cabb8799337f8ad0e9\" tg-width=\"935\" tg-height=\"265\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: SoFi)</span></p>\n<p>Although SoFi reiterated its guidance and the earnings card was showing continual growth along key metrics, shares of SoFi slumped 14% last week...</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90ea8e53fe8b4b000a2ea075e7090a76\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The drop creates another buy-the-drop situation for SoFi since the company is just at the very beginning of its growth.
