Digital financial services company SoFi Technologies, Inc.’s (SOFI) shares got hammered amid high inflation and rising interest rates this year. The current macro environment is causing a persistent challenge for SOFI’s lending business.
Amid consecutive federal rate hikes, demand for loans has declined drastically in 2022. SOFI’s home loans came in at $216.25 million for the third quarter ended September 2022, down 72.7% year-over-year, while its student loans came in at $457.18 million, down 52.8% year-over-year.
