Despite having a relatively steady 2023 and early 2024, the stock of financial technology company SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) has made a turn for the worse in the past several days, but experts remain cautiously optimistic regarding the SOFI price for the following 12 months.
Indeed, the shares of SoFi Technologies, which boasts a wide assortment of banking and financial services, like student loans, mortgage refinancing, and insurance, have dropped over 15% after SoFi said it planned to raise $750 million by issuing convertible senior notes due 2029.

Furthermore, it is currently trading near the lows of its last month’s quite wide range between $7.26 and $9.18, which are negative signs.
On the other hand, SoFi stock is outperforming 63% of all the other assets in the stock market in terms of their yearly performance, trading in the middle of its 52-week range, and demonstrating a healthy liquidity of 54.3 million traded shares per day, painting a neutral overall picture in the long and short term.
It is also worth noting that Jim Cramer, often the laughing stock among the cryptocurrency enthusiasts over his missed prognoses for crypto assets, was bullish on SOFI back in November 2023, sharing his plans to “remain a buyer,” as Finbold reported on November 28.
