• How much operating growth reaches earnings after tax?

What is the bull case for SOFI?

Selling more products to existing members lowers acquisition costs, while partner-funded lending adds fees without retaining the loans. That combination could let SoFi grow earnings without continually expanding its balance-sheet risk.

What is the bear case for SOFI?

Higher taxes and heavy reinvestment absorb more of SoFi’s operating gains. Its growing fee businesses still sit beside a large retained loan book whose value depends on interest rates and credit assumptions.
