SOFI--
Senior officials at the Treasury Department and the Department of Education have discussed transferring "high-performing" student loans to the private sector, according to Politico [1]. While the report has not been independently verified, it sent SoFi's stock up, even as the broader S&P 500 slipped. SoFi CEO Anthony Noto expressed optimism about the potential opportunity if the federal government reduces its role in lending, stating that the company would "absolutely capture that opportunity" [1].
The Trump administration has pushed to restructure the Department of Education and has suggested shifting oversight of student loans to the Small Business Administration. Although a judge temporarily blocked the plan in May, the Supreme Court cleared the way for further restructuring in July [1]. Additionally, new federal student loan caps signed into law by President Donald Trump in July are expected to drive more borrowers toward private lenders like SoFi. Parent PLUS loans were capped at $65,000 per student, $100,000 per graduate student, and $200,000 per professional student, with annual limits set to take effect July 1, 2026 [1].
SoFi's stock price continued to rise on Wednesday, gaining an additional 1.21% in pre-market trading, according to Benzinga Pro [1]. The company's shares were down 0.98% at $27.86 at the time of publication on Wednesday, indicating a pullback from the previous day's gains [2].
The potential sale of federal student loans to private lenders could significantly benefit SoFi, as it has a strong presence in the student loan refinancing market. By capturing a larger share of the student loan market, SoFi could experience significant growth and drive its stock price higher.
SoFi is a market leader in student loan refinancing and could benefit from the Trump administration's potential sale of a portion of the government's student loan book. The company broke into the market by serving segments of the market that no one else wanted to, such as student loans. This could be a boon for SoFi, driving its stock price higher.
