SOFI stock is moving higher today as the fintech company benefits from the broader stablecoin trade and positive options data. The stock opened at $19.19 and reached an intraday high of $19.50 before settling at $18.77. The move is part of a broader trend in fintech, with some names catching a bid amid crypto-related activity. The stock has risen 8.7% over the last eight sessions, reflecting renewed interest in the sector.

What Happened

SOFI stock is being pulled along by the stablecoin trade, which is expanding beyond traditional crypto exchanges into fintech. The stock has not yet broken above $20 for a close, but analysts suggest it may eventually recover from current headwinds. Recent options data from Cboe shows mixed sentiment, with shares up 1.86%. Meanwhile, SoFi Technologies reported strong Q2 results, including 41% year-over-year revenue growth and a raised full-year revenue guidance of $4.75B, $4.85B. Despite these fundamentals, one analyst has cut their position to hold, citing lingering concerns.

What To Watch

The stock is not currently scheduled for an earnings report, but continued activity in the stablecoin and fintech space will be key to monitor. Investors should also watch for changes in options sentiment and whether the stock can break above $20.
