7 Stocks with High Short Interest - Market Getting These Right? - 5 of 7

 
 

#5 - SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI)

SoFi Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI) is perpetually on a list of stocks being sold short. The company's current short interest is at 19%. The company is one of the leading fintech companies and came to national prominence because of its dominance in the student loan market. That's been one headwind for the company as loan repayments were paused in 2020. Now, there's concern over the Biden administration's machinations to have student loan debt forgiven for millions of borrowers. 

On the other hand, SoFi got its banking charter in 2022, and the company continues to grow its customer base. Plus, the company just posted its first profitable quarter.  

Still, short interest remains high, and analysts are concerned about the company's portfolio of personal loans, which has expanded sharply since 2022. Nevertheless, SoFI is at the forefront of a changing banking industry and has access to the coveted Gen-Z demographic that is leading that transition.

What most folks don’t know about oil (BIG missed opportunity) (Ad)

$1 Trillion… That’s how much Big Tech is set to spend on AI investment in the coming months—according to Goldman Sachs. This investment is driving an A.I. boom that’s being felt across many industries… Including a specific group of energy tickers since A.I. data centers use a massive amount of power. One of those tickers is CEG, up nearly 600% in the last 3 years… Combined with the upcoming presidential election, we have the recipe for a major shakeup in the market. You see, each time the U.S. elects a new president, one overlooked part of the energy sector tends to see a big move. Fact is… this energy niche is BOOMING.

And expects this underappreciated niche to continue rallying well into 2026.
