The company exceeded Wall Street expectations across key metrics while adding a record one million new members during the quarter.</p>

<p>SoFi Technologies delivered exceptional fourth-quarter results, with adjusted <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">earnings per share</a> of $0.13 surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.12 and marking a significant increase from $0.05 in the prior-year quarter.</p>
<p>The company’s adjusted net revenue reached a milestone of $1.01 billion, comfortably exceeding the $982.4 million analyst consensus and representing a 37% year-over-year increase. Net interest income climbed to $617.3 million, above the $604.6 million estimate, while adjusted EBITDA of $318.0 million beat expectations of $305.8 million.</p>
<p>The fintech lender’s fee-based businesses demonstrated remarkable strength, with the financial services segment revenue surging 78% year-over-year to $456.7 million in the quarter ended December 31. This segment, which includes credit card and investing products, helps insulate the company from interest-rate fluctuations.</p>
<p>Overall, fee-based revenue jumped 53% from the prior year, highlighting SoFi’s successful diversification beyond traditional lending. CEO Anthony Noto characterized the quarter as “exceptional,” noting that the $1 billion revenue milestone and 60% EBITDA growth demonstrate the company’s business model is working as designed.</p>
<p>Total loan originations hit a record $10.5 billion, up 46% from a year ago, driven by continued strong demand across personal loans ($7.5 billion, up 43%), student loans ($1.9 billion, up 38%), and home loans ($1.1 billion, up 95%).</p>
<p>The company added a record one million new members during the quarter, bringing total membership to 13.7 million, up from 12.6 million at the end of Q3 2025 and 10.1 million a year earlier. Deposits reached $37.5 billion, compared to $32.9 billion at the end of September 2025.</p>

<h3 id="bullish-full-year-outlook-supports-stock-rally">Bullish Full-Year Outlook Supports Stock Rally</h3>
<p>SoFi provided optimistic guidance for 2026 that exceeded Wall Street consensus across all key metrics, fueling investor enthusiasm. The company expects full-year GAAP EPS of approximately $0.60, above the $0.58 consensus estimate, representing continued strong profitability.</p>
<p>Adjusted revenue is projected to reach approximately $4.655 billion versus the $4.55 billion consensus, while adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately $1.600 billion surpasses the Visible Alpha consensus of $1.57 billion.</p>
<p>For the first quarter of 2026, SoFi anticipates GAAP EPS of $0.12, in line with consensus expectations, with adjusted revenue of $1.04 billion matching analyst estimates. However, Q1 adjusted EBITDA guidance of approximately $300 million came in below the Visible Alpha estimate of $341 million.</p>
<p>Despite this modest Q1 EBITDA guidance, the full-year outlook demonstrates management’s confidence in sustained growth momentum throughout 2026.</p>
<p>Analysts noted that SoFi has successfully transitioned from a promising fintech startup to a scaled, structurally profitable financial platform. The company’s member and product flywheel continues to accelerate, with strong loan demand benefiting from recent interest rate cuts that have encouraged refinancing and debt consolidation.</p>
<p>Consumers are increasingly shifting high-cost credit card balances to fintech lenders like SoFi to take advantage of lower-interest personal loans, a trend that supports continued growth in originations and revenue.</p>
