SoFi Technologies: SoFi Technologies has raised its full-year revenue forecast for 2026.
The fintech company beat Wall Street expectations for the second quarter. Record member growth and loan originations drove the strong results.
SoFi announced the update on Wednesday. The broader lending environment remains challenging.
High interest rates and elevated living costs continue to pressure consumers. Still, credit quality has held steady.
Borrowers have proven more resilient than expected. That stability has allowed consumer lenders like SoFi to expand their loan portfolios and grow interest income.
Fintech companies are increasingly competing with traditional banks. SoFi is among the firms gaining ground.
A broader range of financial products has helped the company win over customers. Its digital-first approach has also boosted customer retention.
SoFi reported record second-quarter loan originations of $14.8 billion. Membership grew 35% year-over-year, reaching a record 15.8 million members.
The company now projects full-year revenue between $4.75 billion and $4.85 billion.
That range tops analyst expectations of $4.7 billion. The estimate comes from data compiled by LSEG.
CEO Anthony Noto addressed the results in an interview with Reuters. He said members have remained financially resilient despite economic headwinds.
Spending and demand have stayed strong, according to Noto. He noted that credit performance continues to meet or exceed internal expectations.
Noto said organic growth remains SoFi's top priority. However, he confirmed the company will keep evaluating potential acquisitions.
He said SoFi will act on deals only when they "clearly make sense."
SoFi's adjusted revenue jumped 40% in the quarter to a record $1.2 billion. That figure topped analyst estimates of $1.12 billion. The quarter ended June 30.
SoFi began as a student loan refinancing startup. It has since grown into a full-scale financial services platform.
The company reported net interest income of $788.2 million for the quarter. That marks a 52% increase from the same period last year.
Noto pointed to SoFi's dual revenue strategy as a key strength. The company generates steady net interest income by holding loans on its balance sheet.
At the same time, it's expanding capital-light, fee-based business lines. Noto said both strategies are performing well.
He added that this diversification gives him strong confidence in the company's direction.
SoFi posted adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share for the quarter. That's a 50% increase from a year earlier.
The result beat analyst expectations of 11 cents per share.
