“3 Incredible Stocks to Buy Right Now”
SOFI is undervalued; poor performance is due to macro factors not company problems; expects rapid reassessment when rate pressures lift.

Okay, the first stock of the day, for those who know me, I am a fan of financial technology companies, and I prefer this particular stock, which is SoFi Technologies.

I know, I know, looking at the stock's performance since the beginning of the year, we find that it has fallen by 38%. So, the stock has been performing very poorly since the beginning of the year, while the market is up, and everything is up, but you look at this stock and find it down 38 %, and you might think: "Hmm, maybe there is a problem with the company."

SoFi is undervalued relative to its 2028 targets due to strong growth and profitability improvements.

Yeah, and so I'll start off today with one of my favorite companies out there, which is SoFi. Now, I know whenever we talk about SoFi Technologies, people automatically think, "Oh, what's so interesting about a bank?"

Well, let me just say, you know what? Let's say it is only a bank. It is only a bank that's worth $23 billion, a trailing PE of 37.6 times, which for banks is quite expensive. A forward PE of 24.5 times, which here as well, it is cheaper, but for just a bank, it is maybe too expensive.
