Analyst Mihir Bhatia reiterated a Neutral rating and price target of $8.

SoFi reported adjusted revenues and EBITDA higher than the consensus estimates, Bhatia said in a note.

“Lending segment results were particularly strong in 2Q, while the Financial Services segment came in below our forecast. Technology Segment was broadly in-line…SoFi’s direct deposit strategy also appears to be resonating with customers as deposit growth was up 135% q/q,” the analyst mentioned.

“Of note however, SoFi only modestly increased FY22 guidance and it is back-end loaded to 4Q,” he added.
