Questions to Ask Management

Given the Tech Platform segment's modest 6% year-over-year revenue growth and extended lead times for client implementations, what specific strategies are you employing to accelerate growth and address these challenges in 2025?
With the introduction of the fee-based subscription for SoFi Plus and increased investments in SoFi Invest, how will these initiatives impact your margins, and when do you anticipate these products reaching profitability?
Your loan platform business involves originating loans outside of your traditional credit box on behalf of third parties. How do you manage the credit risks associated with these loans, and what safeguards are in place to protect SoFi's financial position?
The Lending segment is expected to grow only in the low double digits to teens in 2025, yet you're projecting overall revenue growth of 23% to 26%. How do you plan to sustain this growth given the anticipated slowdown in Lending, and what are the primary drivers behind your confidence?
The release of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets provided a significant nonrecurring benefit in 2024. How will the shift to a normalized effective tax rate of approximately 26% affect your net income and EPS growth in 2025 and beyond?
