.SoFi shares tumble after $1.5 billion offering
words.
SoFi announced a $1.5 billion common‑stock offering, sending its shares down nearly 6% in after‑hours trading. The proceeds will bolster its capital position, fund digital‑banking expansion, a new crypto‑trading platform, and AI‑driven underwriting tools. In Q3, SoFi posted $961.6 million in revenue (up 38% YoY), net income of $139.4 million, and $3.25 billion in cash. The raise improves leverage ratios and gives flexibility for acquisitions, but dilutes shareholders and trims its price‑to‑sales multiple toward peer levels. Success hinges on converting the extra capital into sustainable growth while managing execution and regulatory risks.
