SoFi Technologies (NasdaqGS:SOFI) Surges 94% In Last Quarter
SoFi Technologies has been actively enhancing its digital financial services platform by introducing new crypto-powered capabilities and entering a partnership with Benzinga to deliver enhanced market insights. These recent initiatives, along with key product releases, like the SmartStart refinancing option and expansion of private market fund access, may have contributed to the company's 94% share price increase over the last quarter. Although these developments could add weight to broader market trends, the market rose a modest 2% over the last 7 days and 14% over the past year, suggesting SoFi's performance aligned with these overall movements. Be aware that SoFi Technologies is showing 1 possible red flag in our investment analysis. Uncover the next big thing with financially sound penny stocks that balance risk and reward. The recent initiatives by SoFi Technologies, including its partnership with Benzinga and the introduction of new crypto-powered capabilities, alongside its SmartStart refinancing option, may align with the company's efforts to expand its financial services and enhance user engagement. These developments could potentially influence increased revenue and earnings in the future by expanding the toolset available to consumers, thereby potentially attracting more customers to its platform. Over a longer-term period, SoFi's total shareholder return, combining share price growth and dividends, was 196.65% over the past three years, indicating significant growth compared to the past year's industry return of 40.9% and the broader market return of 14.3%. This performance underscores the company's advancement and investor confidence beyond short-term fluctuations. The current share price movement, with an increase of 94% over the last quarter, remains noteworthy when evaluated against the consensus analyst price target of US$13.83. Presently, the stock trades slightly below this target, reflecting that analysts see modest potential upside or alignment with current valuation metrics. Analysts anticipate revenue growth of 14.6% annually, which is projected to outpace the broader US market's expected growth of 8.7%. If the new initiatives succeed in boosting engagement, they could enhance financial metrics, supporting a fair value closer to the price target.

EPA says Trump's big bill should help in its fight to freeze billions in green bank funds
WASHINGTON — The sprawling tax and policy bill that passed Congress repeals a multibillion-dollar green bank for financing climate-friendly projects, and the Trump administration should be allowed to freeze its funding and cancel related contracts with nonprofits, federal officials said in a court filing. Climate United Fund and other nonprofits in March sued the Environmental Protection Agency, its administrator Lee Zeldin and Citibank, which held the program's money. The lawsuit argued the defendants had illegally denied the groups access to billions awarded last year through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, commonly referred to as a 'green bank.' The program was created by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

Bay Street shrugs off tariff threat as dealmaking tally hits $310 billion
An uncertain economy stemming from United States President Donald Trump's tariffs hasn't slowed Canada's financial sector, which posted one its strongest starts to the year in the past decade. Overall, Canada's capital markets sector raised about $310 billion through 502 deals in the first six months of 2025, according to figures provided by Financial Post Data. While that's an 8.5 per cent decline from the record $338.8 billion raised in the first half of 2024, it's still the third highest total since 2011. 'It's hard to believe that equities are setting new all-time highs, credit spreads are at multi-year tights and corporate deal-making activity is well above historical averages when you consider the global trade war, recent developments in the Middle East and uncertain economic outlook,' said Rob Brown, co-head of Canadian debt capital markets at the Royal Bank of Canada. 'But that is exactly what has happened.' A strong capital markets sector suggests that businesses and governments are keen on raising long-term funds to make investments, expand operations and in the process, create jobs and boost productivity. While there was a standstill in issuance activity in April after Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs were announced, for the most part activity remained consistently high throughout the first half of the year, said Brown. The tariff situation compelled issuers to pull funding plans forward to the first quarter to get ahead of the Liberation Day deadline, he said. But then they returned in 'droves in May and June' as the market recovered. 'A recognition that tariff and geopolitical risks remain ever-present continue to motivate opportunistic issuance while the tone is supportive,' said Brown. He credited the 'recent improvement in sentiment' to the 'perception that trade tensions will soften, (the) expectation that the U.S. Fed will eventually begin cutting rates and resilient economic data.' RBC's capital markets team participated in the most deals and helped raise the largest amount of capital — $44.51 billion — in the first half of 2024, earning a market share of 14.3 per cent of all capital raised, according to tallies from FP Data. BMO Capital Markets was second with a market share of 10.86 per cent, raising about $33.6 billion, while CIBC World Markets Inc. was third with $30.65 billion. TD Securities Inc., National Bank Financial and Scotia Capital Inc., followed at $30.34 billion, $29.41 billion and $21.57 billion respectively, giving them corresponding market shares of 9.79, 9.49 and 6.96 per cent. The total amount of debt raised by corporations was $153.04 billion, down 4.3 per cent from the same time last year, while government entities raised $144.9 billion, down 13.5 per cent. Despite the yearly declines, the money raised through each of these segments this year remains the third highest since 2011. In contrast, capital raised by companies through selling shares increased 3.3 per cent to $11.46 billion in the first half of 2025. Activity in the equity markets space had been on the decline since 2022, following a steep increase in 2021. But the increase in the first half of 2025, may potentially change that trend. The yearly increase in the equity space though took place thanks to a series of deals that closed in June — right before the end of the first half of the year. For instance, the biggest deal on the equity side closed on June 20, when Calgary-based Keyera Corp. sold new shares to raise a total of $2.1 billion as it looked to purchase Plains' Canadian NGL business, plus select U.S. assets, for total cash consideration of $5.15 billion. Similarly, Pet Valu Holdings Ltd., was third on the list as a secondary offering raised about $576 million on June 9, while Idaho-based Perpetua Resources Corp., raised about $444 million on June 16, as part of a plan to develop one of its gold projects. Critical minerals help drive dealmaking surge on Bay Street Interest rate peak fuels optimism on Bay Street 'Despite the macro and geo-political uncertainty, there has been a healthy amount of M&A activity, some of which has resulted in equity issuance as part of the acquisition financing strategy,' said Jackie Nixon, Canada head of equity capital markets at RBC. 'There is also a much more active dialogue today than there was a year ago with private companies about going public, so hopefully we will start to see more signs of life in the Canadian issuer IPO market.' Given the current political backdrop, RBC is encouraging potential issuers to be 'nimble, opportunistic' and to take advantage of available windows, said Nixon. • Email: nkarim@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
