SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI)
SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) rose for a third day on Thursday, adding 5.09 percent to close at $16.3 apiece as investors took heart from news that it raised $525 million from a loan program with PGIM Fixed Income.
The transaction followed a $350 million investment from PGIM in May 2024 and builds on SoFi’s $3.9 billion in personal loan collateral sold in the third quarter of 2024 alone.
Edwin Wiches, managing director and co-head of securitized products at PGIM, said that SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI)’s personal loans represent an attractive opportunity for PGIM.
“We continue to expand our platform as an asset-based finance lender and source investments that provide compelling risk-adjusted returns for our clients with partners who put their customers first,” he said.
Overall SOFI ranks 10th on our list of the stocks that skyrocketed today.
