Pivotal analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak upgraded the stock to buy from hold. He sees the stock at $60, up from his $50 target earlier and 49.4% higher from its closing level on Tuesday.

SoFi Technologies Gains On Bullish Call by Rosenblatt By Investing.com

By Dhirendra Tripathi Investing.com – SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) rose more than 2% in Wednesday’s premarket trading after getting a $30 target from Rosenblatt, an increase of 44% from the stock’s previous closing price. According to analyst Sean Horgan, challengers like Sofi possess a powerful cost advantage over legacy banks and will be ones driving "dramatic disintermediation" over 5-10 years.
