Whether viewed as a buy or sell opportunity, one name in the fintech sector that draws trader attention is SoFi Technologies (SOFI). For traders looking at SoFi’s recent price weakness as a buying opportunity, the Direxion Daily SOFI Bull 2X ETF (SOFA) offers a high-octane solution to amplify a bullish conviction.
SoFi went from high-growth disruptor to a diversified, profitable financial powerhouse — hence it’s popularity amongst traders. Listed among the most actively traded U.S. stocks, it’s an ideal candidate for a single-stock leveraged ETF like SOFA. The fund gives traders 200% daily leveraged exposure to the price movement of SOFI. If a buy-the-dip entry point is presenting itself to traders, SOFA may be just what they’re looking for.

Profitability at Scale
Consistent earnings growth is a prime reason to be bullish on SoFi. Despite broader market weakness in early 2026, SoFi’s Q4 2025 results established a new baseline for the company:
- Record revenue: Quarterly adjusted net revenue surpassed $1.01 billion — a first for the company.
- GAAP profitability: The company reported its back-to-back quarters of GAAP net income, posting an EPS of $0.13 that outpaced Wall Street estimates.
- Membership growth: SoFi added a record one million new members in one quarter, bringing its total base to over 13.7 million.
- Strong guidance: Management anticipates 30% revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 34%.
These underlying fundamentals are what SoFi needs in order to weather the current higher-for-longer interest rate environment.

Why Leveraged Now?
The tactical appeal of SoFi is the value disconnect, despite the company delivering record results. The stock has certainly fallen from its 2025 apex, due to short-selling and capital raise pressure. However, some analysts don’t view this as fundamental weakness. According to analyst ratings published on Tip Ranks, the consensus view (about 17%) is to hold or buy — more so the former.
If SoFi’s management continues to make key deals — such as their recent $3.6 billion loan platform deal — a relief rally could be in play. Plus, it could be swift. Because SOFA seeks 2X the daily return of the stock, a 5% recovery in SoFi’s stock means a 10% gain for SOFA. This makes the fund a powerful tool for catching a technical bounce from the stock’s support levels.
