Expectations This Time Around
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SoFi’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.04 billion, indicating a 34.8% year-over-year increase. Growth in members and strong product innovation are likely to have contributed to the positive impact on the company's top line.
