Loan originations were a standout. Total originations hit a record $12.2 billion, up 68% year-on-year. Personal loans led the way at $8.3 billion, followed by student loans at $2.6 billion and home loans at $1.2 billion.

CEO Anthony Noto called it “an excellent Q1,” pointing to durable growth and strong returns. He noted that 43% of new products came from existing members, a sign of deepening engagement across the platform.

Guidance Fell Short

Despite the strong quarter, it was the forward outlook that sent the stock lower. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance came in at $4.655 billion — just barely above the analyst consensus of $4.651 billion. That razor-thin beat wasn’t enough to satisfy the market.

For Q2, SoFi guided for adjusted net revenue growth of around 30% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 30%. Both figures came in below what analysts had expected, and that miss is what drove the sell-off.

The stock dropped 8.45% in pre-market trading, falling to $16.83.

Full-Year Targets Still Intact

For fiscal 2026, SoFi maintained its targets. Management expects adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.6 billion and adjusted net income of around $825 million. That works out to adjusted EPS of roughly $0.60 per share.

Pre-tax profit for Q1 was $199.6 million, representing an 18.1% margin.

Over the past five years, SoFi has grown revenue at a compounded annual rate of 39.2%. The two-year annualized growth rate sits at 33.7%, slightly below that longer-term trend but still a strong pace.

The stock was trading at $16.83 following the report, down from $18.36 before the announcement.
