Patient Capital Management increased its investment in the company and stated the following regarding SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) in its Q4 2024 investor letter:

“The top performers in the fourth quarter were once again Financials and Travel names. We’ve been over-indexed to them since the pandemic, which has served us well. We strategically added to certain financial names like SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) and Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) during the year. Both companies rebounded strongly in the fourth quarter.

Sofi Technologies Inc. (SOFI) was a standout in the quarter, climbing 95% and up 156% from the intra-day lows in June. The company benefited from Fed rate cuts and the market’s growing optimism that the economy will avoid a recession. The company continues to grow its customer count while successfully cross selling into their loans and financial service products. In the quarter, we saw the company take on a new revenue stream by originating loans for third parties, creating an attractive balance sheet-light revenue source, helping improve return on equity and margins. Sofi is early in its life cycle, currently being a small player in a very large total addressable market (TAM). With their strong management team, we believe the company will continue to deliver on their guidance of strong growth and expanding margins.”
