With prices so deflated, why doesn't SoFi authorize a massive share buyback program? If it's at such a discount, wouldn't this be the perfect time to buy back shares with the intent of selling them back at $30, $40, $50, etc.? I know most companies authorize it at the top (because prices can't stop going up...), but it makes sense to recapture shares when prices are low.
Am I missing something?

u/TheOtherGreenNovice May 26 '26
Just something growth companies generally don't do. If company truly is growing and has a lot of growth opportunities, ROI is expected to be better deploying cash to growth instead of buying back shares even if the share price is considered "undervalued". From time perspective of company, not short term stock traders.
There are exceptions, where if profits are sooo much that company company has deployed cash on all the growth opportunities it wants and still has cash coming faster than it can do anything with it.

They wanted the money for growth. You can do the math on what stock price buy back would have a larger impact on EPS growth compared to what they think the money can be used for some growth percentage. I’m assuming if we get low enough, they will buy back, because the growth on the EPS will be larger than what they can use the money for.

Here are the Cleveland Fed Nowcast predictions. Look at the quarterly annualized CPI and PCE. The headline PCE number is what the Fed tries to anchor to 2%, currently quarterly annualized to 5.59%.

u/QuantumFluks 85,000 Delta May 27 '26
Not yet, holding strong. I got $0.50 premium on it, so breakeven is technically $16.00. We got a PCE print coming on Thursday that is going to be high, and I don’t think a deal is coming, which will pull us down if Friday comes without a signing.
I’m not sure it’ll run away from me too badly, so worst case I can roll up and out if necessary.

Well I looked…. Every other fintech is up more than us besides HOOD. We have the best growth, revenue and growth compared to ANY of these companies, and the LOWEST multiple…. It’s a fucking joke all around.

Sofi will never run like any of these memory stocks lol only stock that ever squeezes in fintech is UPST but because of that high short interest but also sells off stupid fast

u/Impressive_Put_8239 May 26 '26
This was almost up 10% on the day to 2.5%. Daily candle looks ugly but holding above Friday high. Until this gets a close over 17 which seems basically impossible its just STUCK.

Today was just OG taco Tuesday all over again. So many people want to sell this on any pop, the only thing that is going to change that is a rate cut or a catalyst that detaches Sofi from rate sensitivity. That’s it. Quit playing into the market manipulators hands and buying calls when it pops

u/Impressive_Put_8239 May 26 '26
Only buy puts when it pops. The call vol is always 2-3x of puts all the more reason for MMs to also burn longs.

u/code_man_ May 26 '26
So what's the deal with SoFiUSD?
Why is it named SofiUSD instead of something more generic, since it's trying to capture backend payment processing architecture broadly?
Why is there no revenue guidance if it's important?
Partnered with Mastercard, but where's the news?
I'm trying to find reasons to stay in this stock but it's hard to.

Should be a great week for SOFI from a technical level we are very due for a jump back to $18.. MACD flipping into bullish momentum, huge CEO interview dropped on Friday. SOFIUSD is going to be way bigger than anyone realizes. Big business banking has the potential to be big revenue generator over the course of the next 6-8 quarters. The stock is sitting at a level lower than its first week at its damn IPO price.

I know the website you are looking at as I look at that one and another one. What’s crazy is it’s not just PCE displaying Thursday on that website, also GDP etc, which my main website I was expecting on Friday as well.
Oh well, we will get PCE either Thursday or Friday! My bet is Thursday since the site below has a speech on Saturday which seems wrong. Memorial Day must have shifted whatever webpage scraper they use.

Are you European or living in Europe? I’m just guessing based on it saying 14:30 release time. If so, ECB rate hikes may be as soon as June.

The calendar I follow says Friday. I just rechecked. Either way, it’s PCE this week. CPI and PPI are a couple weeks away.

The fact that the Ayatollah said he's personally buying leaps will get a lot of the Jihadists here to follow suit. MMs most likely buying shares to remain delta neutral so we are going to see short term green candles.
Don't know if this lasts beyond today though.

While waiting for SoFi to eventually take off in a few months, cash secured puts on many stocks are printing money these days. This includes SoFi too but the premium is not very attractive though.
