SoFi Technologies Inc. (SOFI) saw its stock price plummet 5.50% during intraday trading on Wednesday. The sharp decline occurred shortly after the market opened, indicating significant selling pressure on the fintech stock.

The movement appears to be directly linked to the publication of a negative valuation analysis. A financial research report published just minutes before the drop questioned whether SoFi's stock price was getting ahead of its growth story, presenting analysis that suggested the shares were significantly overvalued.

According to the analysis, SoFi Technologies scored 0 out of 6 on valuation checks, with models indicating the stock could be approximately 43.3% above its intrinsic value. The report highlighted that SoFi trades at a P/E ratio of 39.44x, well above the consumer finance industry average of 9.41x, raising concerns about its current valuation relative to fundamentals.
