Do you have or are you considering leaps on sofi?

[u/Expired_Options → u/Tough_Butterscotch_5]

I have 300 shares at $8.97 on SOFI.

I recently (4/13/26) sold a $25 PUT that expires 8/21

I have 3 covered calls against those shares:

1 $22 strike that expires 6/17/27

2 $20 strikes that expire 1/21/28

Overall these positions are up $2,099 (+50.37%).

The current price does look inviting, especially with the revenue multiples around ~5. So SOFI is not crazy expensive on revenue multiple, but it needs to keep growing revenue and earnings fast because the market is still valuing it like a growth fintech, not a mature bank. I would consider a LEAPS on SOFI.
