Market Signal Briefing

Shiba Inu Coin price has been in a freefall this year as demand for meme coins waned. This rebound could be about to end as key fundamentals and technicals align.

Summary

Shiba Inu Coin price has dropped and is now in a technical bear market.
Whales have started buying SHIB as the supply in exchanges has tumbled.
Technical analysis suggests that the token has more upside in the near term.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) token was trading at $0.00000841 today, Dec. 12, a few points above the year-to-date low of $0.00000753. It remains ~75% below its highest point in November last year.

Shiba Inu Coin fundamentals are improving 
Shiba Inu token has dropped this year as demand for meme coins has waned, with the market capitalization of all these tokens falling to $46 billion from the year-to-date high of nearly $100 billion.

There are signs that Shiba Inu’s fundamentals are improving, which might lead to more upside in the near term.

One fundamental is that token burn has rebounded in recent days. The daily rate rose by 170% on Friday, bringing the total token burns since inception to over 410.75 billion.

Additional data indicate that the supply of SHIB tokens on exchanges has declined sharply. Its supply dropped to 288.75 trillion today, down from this month’s high of 366.1 trillion. A decline in exchange supply indicates increased demand for the token.

This demand is coming from whales, who have suddenly started buying. These investors now hold 96.67 billion tokens, up from this week’s low of 1.36 billion. 

Therefore, a combination of falling exchange supply, whale and smart money buying, and burn rate means that the token may rebound soon.

SHIB price technical analysis 
Shiba Inu price chart | Source: crypto.news 
Technicals suggest that Shiba Inu Coin price bottomed at $0.0000075 in November and then rebounded to the current $0.0000084.

A closer look shows that the token has formed a falling wedge pattern and is slightly below the upper side. It has also formed a small inverted head-and-shoulders pattern, another highly bullish chart pattern.

Therefore, the Shiba Inu price will likely rebound, potentially to the significant resistance level at $0.000010, approximately 20% above the current level. This view will be confirmed if it moves above the 50-day moving average and the upper side of the descending wedge.

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) has shaped American finance for over two centuries, tracing its roots to 1799 and repeatedly stepping in as the “bank of last resort” to avert crises. Among its many efforts are: 

The 1907 Panic, where J.P. Morgan personally rallied Wall Street
The 1980s savings and loan debacle 
The 2008 financial meltdown, where it absorbed Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual, 
The regional banking crisis in 2022, when it was tapped to rescue First Republic Bank after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank

Today, JPMorgan stands as the world’s most valuable bank stock, with a market cap nearing $856 billion. Yet, despite this dominance, it has never breached the $1 trillion valuation threshold. It’s close — within 14% — and analysts predict it could hit that milestone soon. But SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), the upstart digital lender, is aiming to beat the bank to the punch: it wants to become the first U.S. financial firm to claim a $1 trillion valuation. 

SoFi’s Ambitious Playbook
SoFi Technologies started in 2011 as a student loan refinancing platform, targeting young professionals overlooked by traditional banks. Over the years, it expanded into personal loans, mortgages, investing, and credit cards, all delivered through a sleek app. By 2021, after going public via a SPAC merger, it bet on a digital-first model to disrupt incumbents like JPMorgan. 

Yet, unlike brick-and-mortar giants saddled with branches and legacy systems, SoFi operates with minimal overhead, boasting net interest margins above 6% — more than double the industry average.

Recent quarters show its momentum gaining. In the third quarter, SoFi added a record 905,000 members, pushing its total to 12.6 million. Revenue climbed 38% year-over-year, and the company posted its first full-year profit. Its lending arm, which includes personal and student loans, drives much of this growth, but diversification into tech platforms like Galileo — a backend service for other fintechs — adds recurring fees. Galileo powers payment processing for brands like Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) and Wyndham Hotels (NYSE:WH), positioning SoFi as the financial ecosystem’s plumbing system.

Membership growth sits at 35% annually, with unaided brand awareness still below 10% in the U.S. This leaves room for it to scale up as SoFi is aiming for 50 million members and 150 million products by 2030, a sevenfold jump. 

Federal Reserve data ranks it as the 53rd-largest U.S. financial institution by assets. To crack the top 10, SoFi would need to multiply its balance sheet tenfold, roughly matching Bank of New York Mellon‘s (NYSE:BK) size. That’s aggressive, but SoFi’s online efficiency could make it feasible without the physical footprint that weighs on peers.

A CEO’s Bold Vision Takes Shape
At a recent investor conference, SoFi CEO Anthony Noto laid out the company’s plan. “Our ambition is to become a trillion-dollar company,” he declared, framing it as the endpoint of layered growth strategies. 

Noto, a former Twitter COO and Goldman Sachs executive, emphasized scaling the core lending business through third-party originations and fee-based services. He highlighted potential tailwinds like the possible privatization of federal student loans, where SoFi could regain a market it once dominated.

Noto also touted innovations in digital assets, including crypto trading and blockchain remittances, to attract tech-savvy users. The Galileo platform, he noted, could mirror Amazon Web Services in fintech, powering transactions for thousands of partners. With margins bolstered by low-cost deposits and high-yield loans, SoFi projects sustained profitability. 

Noto’s comments underscore a belief that digital disruption will eclipse traditional scale. No U.S. bank has hit $1 trillion in market value — JPMorgan remains the high-water mark — but SoFi’s model sidesteps the asset bloat required for such rankings.

The Road to Trillions
Reaching that valuation won’t be straightforward. Regulatory scrutiny on fintech lending, interest rate volatility, and competition from established players like Morgan pose risks. SoFi’s loan portfolio is also heavy on unsecured personal debt, and faces delinquency pressure in economic downturns. Yet, its risk management tools — powered by AI — have so far kept non-performing loans low, currently under 3%.

Expansion into new verticals, like international transfers and embedded finance, could accelerate its progress. If SoFi captures even a sliver of the $1.7 trillion U.S. consumer lending market, it could achieve this goal. Analysts point to its 700% projected product growth as a catalyst, but execution is key. 

Noto’s trillion-dollar talk gets investors excited, but it hinges on consistent execution amid macro headwinds.

Key Takeaway
SoFi Technologies trades at a $34 billion market cap today, meaning a trillion-dollar valuation demands a 30-fold increase. That’s possible with time — its digital edge and growth trajectory suggest it could outpace legacy banks over decades. But don’t hold your breath. Even if SoFi doesn’t take 226 years, the leap likely stretches beyond the next decade or two. 

While SoFi offers compelling reasons for investment today, such as its profitability inflection and ecosystem expansion, a trillion-dollar status isn’t one of them. Focus on the fintech’s fundamentals, not the moonshot it’s aiming for.

HOUSTON, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Venu Holding Corporation (NYSE American: VENU)(“VENU”) filed a Form 8-K disclosing a landmark Operator Agreement with Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: LYV)(“Live Nation”), the largest and most influential force in the global live-music ecosystem, marking a major inflection point in VENU’s national expansion strategy and future revenue profile.

The Agreement positions Live Nation as the exclusive tenant and exclusive booking agent for The Sunset Amphitheater at McKinney, VENU’s flagship 20,000-capacity outdoor entertainment venue currently under development in McKinney, Texas. With Live Nation stepping in as operator, promoter, and booking powerhouse, VENU secures best-in-class event volume, guaranteed ticket throughput, and a direct profit-participation model that materially strengthens financial visibility.

Securing Live Nation as the exclusive operator for The Sunset McKinney is the strongest possible validation of VENU’s development strategy and the economic potential of this venue. This partnership gives VENU a faster growth trajectory, a clearer road to profitability, and a long-term anchor that strengthens its entire national pipeline.

Live Nation Partnership Is a Force Multiplier for VENU’s Growth Trajectory

This strategic partnership, underscores VENU’s rapid ascent in the $50 billion live events market (CAGR 7.5% through 2030, PwC) and leverages Live Nation’s unparalleled expertise to drive high-caliber programming while preserving VENU’s premium, fan-centric model.

The global live-events leader will drive the entire performance calendar at The Sunset McKinney, leveraging its unmatched artist relationships, national touring pipeline, and promotional infrastructure. For VENU, the operational partnership marks a significant acceleration toward:

The multifunctional space supports diverse programming, including musical concerts, comedy, film festivals, corporate rentals, and community events, aligning with VENU’s omni-content strategy for year-round utilization.

VENU retains key controls, including the right to schedule select live entertainment and non-traditional events, all sponsorship and naming rights, and oversight of premium offerings like Luxe FireSuites.

Financially, the deal features a revenue-sharing structure: Live Nation pays VENU escalating percentages of net profits (after event expenses), a fixed per-ticket rent (starting at a confidential rate with annual increases), and parking fees distributed per profit-sharing terms. Live Nation commits commercially reasonable efforts to meet an annual ticket sales target, with shortfall fees payable to VENU.

Live Nation holds a right of first offer on venue sales (excluding change-of-control scenarios) and termination rights tied to milestone openings.

This collaboration benefits VENU by tapping Live Nation’s global booking power, responsible for 50,000+ events annually, to attract top-tier artists, ensuring sold-out seasons and maximized revenue in a competitive landscape. For Live Nation, access to VENU’s state-of-the-art, premium venues enhances its portfolio without ownership costs.

This pact accelerates VENU’s national expansion, targeting three new facilities in 2026 and 40 by 2030, while reinforcing its position against industry giants. Backed by recent equity commitments from Tixr and Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), VENU’s model of strategic operator alliances without ceding control continues to drive 250%+ year-over-year growth and $200 million 2025 revenue projections.

Aramark is the exclusive provider of food, beverage, retail, and facility operations for VENU’s flagship Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, as well as the company’s upcoming Sunset Amphitheaters in Texas and Oklahoma. The deal is further underpinned by a $10.125 million equity investment from Aramark, signaling not only operational alignment, but financial confidence in VENU’s disruptive model.

Faster revenue scale-up

Live Nation’s exclusive-booking commitment brings immediate access to arena-level and amphitheater-caliber artists, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a full, high-margin event slate from the venue’s first operational season.

Higher profitability via shared-profits + per-ticket economics

VENU earns a percentage of net profits generated from Live Nation events, with higher participation above a specified profit threshold.VENU receives escalating fixed per-ticket rent for every paid ticket.VENU benefits from parking revenue share, facility management fee participation, and full retention of sponsorship & naming rights. More predictable financial outcomes

A built-in Annual Ticket Target creates accountability on Live Nation’s side. If the minimum annual number of tickets is not sold, Live Nation must pay VENU a contractually defined shortfall fee, protecting VENU from underperformance.

Brand elevation + accelerated market penetration

By aligning with the world’s largest live-music promoter, VENU secures powerful market validation, enhancing sponsorship demand, increasing venue prestige, and strengthening investor confidence as the company scales its national venue portfolio.

Agreement Highlights

Under the terms of the Operator Agreement:

5-Year Term + Four 5-Year Renewal Options

Live Nation may extend for up to 25 additional years, creating a long-term anchor relationship for VENU’s Texas footprint.

Exclusive Booking Rights

Live Nation books all events, ensuring elite artist access, while VENU may additionally schedule certain entertainment formats (films, festivals, corporate events, visual presentations) within defined constraints.

Profit Participation Model

VENU participates in event net profits and receives per-ticket rent and management fees—creating multiple recurring revenue streams.

Sponsorship and Naming Rights 100% Retained by VENU

All sponsorship revenue, including naming rights, flows exclusively to VENU and sits outside of the profit-share structure.

Revenue-Protective Ticket Minimums

Live Nation must use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the annual ticket target or pay VENU a shortfall fee.

Broad, Multifunctional Use Rights

The venue can host concerts, comedy, film debuts, club nights, art festivals, graduations, corporate rentals, and community events, maximizing year-round utilization.

Operational Safeguards & Performance Conditions

Live Nation’s ability to operate at full concert capacity is protected through mutual agreements related to noise standards, parking efficiencies, ticket-tax adjustments, and operational diligence.

Strategic Impact: A Step-Change in VENU’s Business Model

The partnership places VENU in the strongest strategic position in its history:

1. Instant Access to the Global Touring Economy

Live Nation’s booking engine essentially guarantees a high-velocity event calendar, shortening VENU’s ramp-up period and lifting revenue projections.

2. Accelerated Path to Profitability

With per-ticket economics, high-margin sponsorship revenue, and profit-share upside, VENU is positioned for a materially faster break-even timeline than a self-operated model.

3. Blueprint for Scalable Replication Across Future VENU Projects

McKinney becomes the template for future VENU amphitheaters and entertainment destinations under development nationwide.

4. Enhanced Investor Confidence and Visibility

Live Nation’s long-term operational commitment offers clarity in forecasting and a powerful institutional endorsement of VENU’s strategy and venue quality.

Have you been paying attention to shares of Newmont Corporation (NEM - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 10.8% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $100.41 in the previous session. Newmont has gained 167.1% since the start of the year compared to the 29.8% move for the Zacks Basic Materials sector and the 147.8% return for the Zacks Mining - Gold industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 23, 2025, Newmont reported EPS of $1.71 versus consensus estimate of $1.29 while it beat the consensus revenue estimate by 11.06%.

For the current fiscal year, Newmont is expected to post earnings of $6.06 per share on $21.12 in revenues. This represents a 74.14% change in EPS on a 13.05% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $7.07 per share on $22.74 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 16.61% and 7.67%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsWhile Newmont has moved to its 52-week high in the recent past, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Newmont has a Value Score of C. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are C and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 16.4X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 17.6X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 17.1X versus its peer group's average of 21X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 0.69. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks RankWe also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Newmont currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Newmont fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though Newmont shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.

How Does NEM Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of NEM have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM - Free Report) . AEM has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value Score of D, a Growth Score of B, and a Momentum Score of A.

Earnings were strong last quarter. Agnico Eagle Mines Limited beat our consensus estimate by 22.73%, and for the current fiscal year, AEM is expected to post earnings of $9.43 per share on revenue of $11.14 billion.

Shares of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited have gained 0.9% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 21.9X and a P/CF of 23.55X.

The Mining - Gold industry is in the top 12% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for NEM and AEM, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

Have you been paying attention to shares of General Motors (GM - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 12.5% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $81.22 in the previous session. General Motors has gained 51.8% since the start of the year compared to the 12.7% gain for the Zacks Auto-Tires-Trucks sector and the 14.8% return for the Zacks Automotive - Domestic industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 21, 2025, General Motors reported EPS of $2.8 versus consensus estimate of $2.28 while it beat the consensus revenue estimate by 9.76%.

For the current fiscal year, General Motors is expected to post earnings of $10.3 per share on $184.46 in revenues. This represents a -2.83% change in EPS on a -1.6% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $11.59 per share on $183.87 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 12.49% and -0.32%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsThough General Motors has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for General Motors? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

General Motors has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are C and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 7.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 16.7X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 3.5X versus its peer group's average of 8.5X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 0.92. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making General Motors an interesting choice for value investors.

Zacks RankWe also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, General Motors currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to favorable earnings estimate revisions from covering analysts.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if General Motors meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though General Motors shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.

How Does GM Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of GM have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Federal Signal Corporation (FSS - Free Report) . FSS has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of B, a Growth Score of B, and a Momentum Score of A.

Earnings were strong last quarter. Federal Signal Corporation beat our consensus estimate by 6.54%, and for the current fiscal year, FSS is expected to post earnings of $4.63 per share on revenue of $2.16 billion.

Shares of Federal Signal Corporation have gained 1.9% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 26.92X and a P/CF of 25.38X.

The Automotive - Domestic industry is in the top 28% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for GM and FSS, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

In its upcoming report, Micron (MU - Free Report) is predicted by Wall Street analysts to post quarterly earnings of $3.84 per share, reflecting an increase of 114.5% compared to the same period last year. Revenues are forecasted to be $12.57 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 44.3%.

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has undergone an upward revision of 3.6% in the past 30 days, bringing it to its present level. This represents how the covering analysts, as a whole, have reassessed their initial estimates during this timeframe.

Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.

While investors usually depend on consensus earnings and revenue estimates to assess the business performance for the quarter, delving into analysts' forecasts for certain key metrics often provides a more comprehensive understanding.

Bearing this in mind, let's now explore the average estimates of specific Micron metrics that are commonly monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts.

Analysts predict that the 'Revenue by Technology- DRAM' will reach $10.13 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +58.3% year over year.

The collective assessment of analysts points to an estimated 'Revenue by Technology- Other (primarily NOR)' of $82.40 million. The estimate suggests a change of +21.2% year over year.

It is projected by analysts that the 'Revenue by Technology- NAND' will reach $2.34 billion. The estimate suggests a change of +4.2% year over year.

Shares of Micron have experienced a change of +9.1% in the past month compared to the +0.9% move of the Zacks S&P 500 composite. With a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), MU is expected to outperform the overall market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Key Takeaways ROP's Technology Enabled Products unit grew 6% organically on strong Neptune-driven demand.Verathon and NDI strength support segment momentum headed into the fourth quarter.ROP expects roughly 12.9% revenue growth in 2025, with organic sales rising about 6%.
Roper Technologies, Inc. (ROP - Free Report) is witnessing strong momentum in the Technology Enabled Products segment, driven by persistent strength in medical products businesses. Growth in demand for ultrasonic meters, cloud-based data and billing software solutions is fostering the growth of the Neptune business within the segment. In third-quarter 2025, the segment’s organic revenues increased 6% on a year-over-year basis.

Solid performance of the Verathon business, supported by strength across single-use BFlex & GlideScope offerings, bodes well for the segment. Also, healthy demand for cardiac, neurology and orthopedic precision measurement solutions is aiding the NDI business. Roper expects low-single-digit organic revenue growth for the segment in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Also, the growing popularity of its products and solutions across the Deltek, Vertafore, PowerPlan and Aderant businesses is driving ROP’s Application Software segment. This apart, strong momentum across alternate site healthcare, construction, and freight match markets, augurs well for its Network Software unit. Driven by strength across its businesses, the company expects total revenues to increase approximately 12.9% in 2025 from the year-ago level. Organic revenues are estimated to rise approximately 6% year over year.

Performance Snapshot of ROP’s PeersAmong its major peers, Agilent Technologies, Inc. (A - Free Report) has a significant exposure to the healthcare industry, which holds long-term prospects. Agilent’s strength in liquid chromatography systems and components and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry systems remains a plus. Also, strengthening demand for RF test equipment by medical device manufacturers remains a tailwind for Agilent.

Another peer, Honeywell International Inc. (HON - Free Report) , has been witnessing persistent weakness in the Industrial Automation segment. Softness in the productivity solutions and services business, owing to a decrease in license and settlement payments, remains a concern for Honeywell’s segment. In third-quarter 2025, Honeywell’s Industrial Automation segment’s sales declined 9% on a year-over-year basis.

ROP’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesShares of Roper have lost 11.8% in the past three months against the industry’s growth of 0.8%.

Anthony Noto, the CEO of fintech firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), envisions scaling SoFi into a trillion-dollar company. From introducing technology-enabled personal finance “smart cards” to facilitating Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) transactions, Noto and SoFi Technologies are bona fide disruptors in the banking space.

If you’re on board with Noto’s bold vision for the future of finance, you may choose to own SOFI stock with a bullish outlook. You might even see the SoFi Technologies share price zooming to $50 or more in 2026.

That price target is certainly possible, but is it realistic? Right now, we’ll look at the relevant facts and circumstances — including a controversial capital raise — to help you predict whether SOFI stock will hit the $50 mark next year.

A Not-so-Easy Trip
The SoFi Technologies share price has rallied 70% over the past 12 months, but don’t get the wrong idea. It definitely wasn’t a straight or easy path from $17 to $27.

As you surely recall, the market has a “tariff tantrum” earlier this year, culminating in a selloff of many stocks. Since SoFi Technologies is particularly sensitive to economic changes, SOFI stock swiftly collapsed below $10 in April.

A relief rally followed as the market figured out that the tariffs would probably be temporary. Anyone who “bought the dip” in SoFi Technologies stock doubled their money in a matter of months.

There was also a quick share-price pullback in early December, but we’ll get to that in a moment. For now, just be aware that it’s possible for SOFI stock to nearly double in price to $50. After all, the stock doubled not long ago.

At the same time, economic and political events can be unpredictable. A trade war flare-up could derail SoFi Technologies stock’s path to $50 next year. So, don’t over-invest in SoFi shares as volatility could strike at any moment.

A Scary Share Offering?
Now is as good a time as any to address the elephant in the room. In particular, SoFi Technologies recently disclosed a public offering and pricing of many new common stock shares.

I covered this event in depth here, but the brief summary is that SoFi Technologies is offering 54,545,454 new stock shares to the public at $27.50 per share. Suffice it to say, short-term traders weren’t pleased with this development as SOFI stock fell 6% to 7% on the news.

After crashing to the $27-to-$28 area, the SoFi share price found its footing and it seems that the fear has subsided. Sure, share-value dilution is a valid concern, but SoFi Technologies expects to generate total gross proceeds of around $1.5 billion from the public offering. 

Thus, the offering is a two-sided coin with benefits and drawbacks. Maybe in 2026, SoFi Technologies’ loyal investors can apply the “no pain, no gain” principle and hope for a rally to $50.

SoFi Doubles Its Income
Turning to the company’s fundamentals, SoFi Technologies might deserve a market-cap expansion and share-price run-up in 2026. That’s because the company actually managed to double its profits.

Here’s the breakdown. In the third quarter of 2025, SoFi Technologies generated $961.6 million in revenue versus $697.121 million in 2024’s third quarter. This represents a year-over-year improvement of nearly 38%.

Even more impressively, the company’s net income more than doubled year-over-year from $60.745 million to $139.392 million. Plus, SoFi Technologies’ cash and cash equivalents position expanded from $2.538 billion as of December 31, 2024, to $3.246 billion as of September 30, 2025.

I’m not suggesting that SoFi Technologies doubling its income necessarily means that the share price will double from here. It’s just a powerfully positive data point to consider for prospective SoFi investors.

You Can Hope, but Don’t Assume
We could also discuss the recent interest-rate cut as another possibly positive catalyst for SoFi Technologies. I think I’ve made my point by now, though: SoFi’s market cap and share price are likely to grow in 2026, assuming there are no economic or political shocks. 

That’s a huge assumption, so again, don’t over-invest in SoFi Technologies shares. A more likely outcome is that SOFI stock will head toward $50 next year, even if it doesn’t reach that lofty target.

Furthermore, not everyone should invest in SoFi. It’s a bold, non-traditional fintech company and the stock price can be volatile at times. With that in mind, if you have a firm belief in the company’s future growth, feel free to hold a few shares of SoFi Technologies.

Financial technology, or fintech, is reshaping the global financial landscape by redefining how individuals, businesses and institutions access and manage money. By combining finance with digital innovation, fintech has made financial services faster, more inclusive and efficient.

One of the most significant impacts of fintech is increased financial inclusion. Mobile banking apps, digital wallets and peer-to-peer payment platforms have enabled millions of unbanked and underbanked individuals to participate in the formal financial system, particularly in emerging economies. Services that once required physical bank branches can now be accessed through smartphones.

Fintech is also transforming payments and lending. Real-time payments, contactless transactions and blockchain-based solutions have reduced costs and enhanced transparency. Meanwhile, alternative lending platforms use data analytics and artificial intelligence to assess creditworthiness, allowing quicker loan approvals and broader access to credit for small businesses and individuals. In addition, fintech is driving innovation in wealth management and insurance. Robo-advisors offer low-cost, automated investment solutions, while insurtech firms provide personalized insurance products using data-driven insights.

Overall, fintech is not just enhancing traditional financial services but fundamentally changing them, creating a more connected, customer-centric and technology-driven global financial ecosystem. Therefore, stocks like StoneCo Ltd. (STNE - Free Report) , Block, Inc. (XYZ - Free Report) and PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL - Free Report) are attracting investor attention.

Our Fintech Screen will help you identify the right stocks now to ride the wave of this trillion-dollar revolution. Leveraging advanced tools, our thematic screens identify companies shaping the future, making it easier to capitalize on emerging trends.

StoneCo, the Brazilian fintech powerhouse, has been making decisive strategic moves, including divesting non-core software operations. This allows StoneCo to target more than 90% of its total addressable market, payments, banking and credit, estimated at BRL 100 billion in revenue opportunity.

StoneCo is a fintech operator that executes business with clarity, discipline and accelerates profitability. The company is reshaping itself into a more focused, higher-return platform, supported by rising client engagement, a fast-growing banking ecosystem and prudent yet expanding credit operations.

StoneCo’s MSMB (micro, small and medium business) payments segment continues to expand, with its active client base witnessing a steady rise. This, along with the rapid adoption of PIX QR Code transactions and steady growth in card payments, continues to boost MSMB total payment volume.

Likewise, STNE’s banking ecosystem is gaining traction, with a constant increase in active banking clients and higher client deposits. As the majority of these deposits are time-based, they provide the company with a stable, low-cost funding source that enhances margin resilience. Also, the company’s credit business is gaining traction.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for STNE’s 2026 sales and EPS implies year-over-year growth of 2.6% and 17.1%, respectively. The firm, at present, carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Block is building a powerful fintech ecosystem through its dual growth engines, Square and Cash App. Together, they deliver comprehensive solutions across payments, commerce, banking, investing and lending. The company is also rapidly expanding its partner base to scale its distribution network.

Square, the part of Block that serves merchants, continues to perform well. Its steady growth in gross payment volume (GPV) and gross profit shows strong business momentum. The company is also rolling out new capabilities, like Square AI, which provides data-driven insights to help sellers manage and grow their businesses in an increasingly competitive point-of-sale (POS) and software landscape. In the U.K., Square launched its Cash Advance program to help businesses access funds and further introduced a new portable POS device called Square Handheld.

Block’s growth is driven by Cash App, which has evolved from a simple payment tool into an all-in-one financial platform popular with younger users. It now offers payments, banking, commerce and Bitcoin services. The company has expanded Cash App with features like group payments, buy-now-pay-later via Afterpay, improved borrowing tools and Tap to Pay on iPhone, helping boost user engagement and business adoption.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for XYZ’s 2026 sales and EPS implies year-over-year growth of 10.7% and 40.3%, respectively. The company, currently, carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

PayPal, a long-time leader in digital payments, is evolving into a full-scale commerce platform. Its new PayPal Ads Manager enables small businesses to act as their own retail media networks, creating additional revenue streams. Meanwhile, PayPal Links simplifies peer-to-peer and business payments by allowing users to send or receive money through a shareable, one-time link.

PayPal World further expands its reach by unifying major payment systems and digital wallets, including PayPal, Venmo, Mercado Pago, Tenpay Global and NPCI’s UPI, on a single platform. This gives merchants access to billions of potential customers while offering consumers seamless, cross-border wallet acceptance.

PayPal is also pushing into AI-driven agentic commerce through partnerships with Anthropic, Salesforce and OpenAI, alongside deeper crypto integration via its PYUSD stablecoin and Pay with Crypto feature. Together, these initiatives extend PayPal’s role far beyond payments, positioning it as a core infrastructure player in the next generation of digital commerce.

Venmo is PayPal’s go-to platform for young, affluent, digitally native users and a key driver of total payment volume growth. Branded experiences, especially online checkout and omni-channel payments, continue to grow steadily, with debit card and tap-to-pay usage expanding rapidly. Together, Venmo and branded experiences form PayPal’s strongest growth pillars across digital and in-store payments.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PYPL’s 2026 sales and EPS implies year-over-year growth of 5.2% and 9.7%, respectively. The company carries a Zacks Rank #3 at present.

US equity indices face near-term softness from renewed AI concerns tied to Broadcom guidance, but the broader outlook remains constructive. Key technical support is holding, favoring buy-the-dip strategies with upside targets intact.

NASDAQ 100 Technical Analysis
The NASDAQ 100 looks as if it is going to drop a bit, as the sales call and guidance from Broadcom have people worried about the AI bubble again. Quite frankly, I do not know if this matters much, and all things being equal, there is a situation where buyers will come in and pick this up sooner or later. The $25,000 level is going to end up being support right along with the 50-day EMA. To the upside, the $26,000 level continues to be a bit of a barrier, but given enough time, the market probably breaks out to the upside and continues going higher.

Dow Jones 30 Technical Analysis
The Dow Jones 30 is not as influenced by AI, and as a result, it is sitting here after having a very strong day on Thursday. This is a buy-on-the-dip scenario with no interest in getting too cute. Trying to get too short at this point is rather foolish. If there is a little bit of a pullback, buyers should step in, or a recovery in the other indices may translate into higher prices here. Either way, the expectation is for higher levels.

S&P 500 Technical Analysis
The S&P 500 has some AI exposure, so there could be a bit of negative influence from the Broadcom situation, but not as much as the NASDAQ 100. It looks like the market may be a little bit soft at the open, but it still appears to be trying to break higher. As a result, the outlook remains positive.

The 6,800 level continues to be an area that offers support, right along with the 50-day EMA. Like the other two indices, there is no interest in trying to get short here. The belief is that the S&P 500 reaches 7,000, and it could be a coin flip as to whether that happens by New Year’s Eve.

Key Takeaways BigBear.ai targets secure government AI markets, while SoundHound focuses on voice tech for enterprises.BBAI's Ask Sage acquisition adds $25M ARR and boosts its platform transition in regulated environments.SOUN posted 68% Q3 revenue growth, but widening losses and a higher valuation raise near-term risk.
The artificial intelligence investment boom has pushed capital far beyond mega-cap leaders into smaller, higher-risk AI specialists with the potential for outsized returns. Among these emerging names, BigBear.ai Holdings (BBAI - Free Report) and SoundHound AI (SOUN - Free Report) have drawn growing investor attention. Both companies operate at the intersection of applied AI and real-world enterprise deployments, but they approach the opportunity from very different angles.

BigBear.ai is deeply embedded in defense, intelligence and other highly regulated government markets, focusing on secure, mission-critical decision intelligence. SoundHound, by contrast, is a commercial AI platform leader centered on voice, conversational, and agentic AI solutions across automotive, restaurants, financial services, and enterprise customer experience. Despite their different end markets, both stocks appeal to investors seeking leveraged exposure to AI adoption beyond hyperscalers.

With AI spending accelerating and risk appetite rising, the comparison between these two smaller-cap AI plays has become increasingly relevant. Each offers high growth potential, but each also carries execution, profitability, and valuation risks. Let’s dive deep and closely compare the fundamentals of the two stocks to determine which one is a better investment now.

The Case for BigBear.ai StockBigBear.ai’s investment thesis is anchored in its positioning as a defense-grade AI and decision intelligence specialist. The company fuses artificial intelligence with deep mission expertise to support national security, intelligence, border security and other sensitive government functions. While that focus creates revenue volatility tied to government funding cycles, it also builds high barriers to entry and long-term contract durability once programs scale.

Near-term performance has been uneven. In the third quarter of 2025, revenue declined 20% year over year to $33.1 million primarily due to lower volumes on certain Army programs, highlighting BigBear.ai’s exposure to program timing and government procurement delays. Gross margin slipped to 22.4% from 25.9% a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA swung to a loss of $9.4 million as SG&A rose to support growth initiatives. In contrast, SoundHound delivered strong top-line acceleration in the same period, underscoring a key divergence between the two models.

However, BigBear.ai’s strategic narrative shifted meaningfully in 2025. The company ended the third quarter with a record $456.6 million in cash, dramatically strengthening its balance sheet and enabling a more aggressive growth posture. That capital strength underpins its most important catalyst: the announced acquisition of Ask Sage, a fast-growing generative AI platform designed for secure, classified and regulated environments.

Ask Sage is expected to generate approximately $25 million in annual recurring revenue in 2025, representing a sixfold increase from 2024 levels, and already supports more than 16,000 government teams across multiple agencies. Unlike many early-stage AI platforms, Ask Sage is already in production at scale, with FedRAMP-aligned security and model-agnostic architecture. Management views the deal as transformative, accelerating BigBear.ai’s transition toward platform-level, recurring revenue rather than reliance on episodic services contracts.

Strategically, this move differentiates BigBear.ai from SoundHound. While SoundHound focuses on horizontal enterprise adoption, BigBear.ai is building a vertically integrated, secure AI platform tailored to defense and regulated customers, where competition is narrower and switching costs are higher. Backlog stood at $376 million at the end of the third quarter, providing medium-term revenue visibility even as quarterly results fluctuate.

Risks remain material. BigBear.ai’s revenue base is still heavily concentrated in government programs, margin recovery will take time, and integration risk around Ask Sage is real. Yet relative to SoundHound, BigBear.ai offers a clearer path to differentiation in a less crowded AI segment, backed by a fortified balance sheet and narrowing losses.

The Case for SoundHound StockSoundHound represents one of the most visible pure-play bets on conversational and agentic AI. The company’s technology powers voice and natural language interfaces across automotive systems, restaurants, IoT devices, financial services, healthcare and enterprise contact centers. Its Agentic+ framework, anchored by the Amelia platform, combines generative AI, multi-agent orchestration and deterministic workflows to deliver production-ready AI at scale.

Operational momentum has been strong. In the third quarter of 2025, SoundHound reported record revenues of $42 million, up 68% year over year, with non-GAAP gross margins of 59.3% reflecting the scalability of its software-centric model. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $165–$180 million, highlighting accelerating adoption across verticals, including restaurants, automotive OEMs, financial institutions and healthcare providers.

SoundHound’s diversified customer base stands in sharp contrast to BigBear.ai’s government-heavy exposure. Deployments now span millions of endpoints globally, and the company continues to expand use cases such as voice commerce, smart answering and AI-driven customer service. Its balance sheet is also solid, with $269 million in cash and no debt at the end of the third quarter, providing flexibility to invest in growth and acquisitions.

Despite these strengths, SoundHound’s challenges are becoming more visible. GAAP net losses remain large, distorted by mark-to-market adjustments tied to acquisition-related earnouts, but even on a non-GAAP basis, profitability remains elusive. Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $14.5 million in the third quarter, underscoring the continued need for scale to absorb operating costs.

How BBAI and SOUN Shares Have PerformedOver the past year, BigBear.ai stock has surged 153.7%, dramatically outperforming the Zacks Computers – IT Services industry, which declined 18.3%, as well as the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector, up 26.2% and the S&P 500, up 16%. The rally reflects renewed confidence following balance sheet repair and the strategic pivot toward platform-driven growth.

By contrast, SoundHound stock is down 10.6% over the past year, lagging both the broader technology sector and the S&P 500, though it has performed slightly better than the sharply weaker industry. This divergence suggests that while SoundHound’s fundamentals are improving, investor enthusiasm has cooled amid valuation concerns and persistent losses.

Relative Valuation: Is Growth Priced In?On a forward 12-month price-to-sales basis, BigBear.ai trades at 17.23X, roughly in line with the industry average of 17.07X. SoundHound trades at a higher 21.84X, reflecting expectations for faster revenue growth and margin expansion.

Given BigBear.ai’s recent revenue softness, the valuation gap signals that investors are already assigning a premium to SoundHound’s growth trajectory. However, that premium also raises downside risk if execution falters or estimate revisions turn less favorable.

What Earnings Estimate Changes SignalBigBear.ai’s earnings outlook has been improving. Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 loss per share narrowed to 93 cents from $1.10, signaling confidence in operating discipline and the potential earnings impact of strategic initiatives. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 and 2026 revenues calls for a 16.1% decline but 30.2% growth, respectively.

SoundHound’s revision trend is more mixed. Over the past seven days, the consensus estimate for its 2025 loss per share widened to 13 cents from 9 cents, and the 2026 estimates narrowed to a 5-cent loss from an 8-cent loss. Revenue estimates call for a 99.7% increase in 2025 and 38.9% growth in 2026, but near-term volatility remains elevated.

Which AI Stock Is the Better Buy Now?The contrast between BigBear.ai and SoundHound has become clearer as the AI investment cycle matures and investors place greater weight on balance sheet strength, estimate direction and durability of competitive positioning. BigBear.ai remains in a transition phase, with near-term revenue volatility and margin pressure tied to government program timing. However, its fortified cash position, sizable $376 million backlog, and the strategically important Ask Sage acquisition materially strengthen its long-term setup by accelerating a shift toward secure, recurring, platform-level revenue in a less crowded AI niche. Notably, earnings estimates for BigBear.ai — which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) — have been moving higher, signaling improving confidence in execution.  You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

SoundHound, while delivering rapid revenue growth and attractive gross margins, faces a more challenging risk-reward balance. Losses remain elevated, valuation is stretched, and recent estimate revisions for 2025 have turned negative, raising downside risk if growth decelerates for this Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company. Taken together, the current fundamentals support holding BigBear.ai stock, while SoundHound stock appears better suited as a sell at current levels.

Company advances a 1.5GW AI-ready data center pipeline in Spain as board-led actions target rescission of a legacy deal, major dilution reduction, and enhanced governance stability

Takeaways:

EdgeMode has initiated rescission of a legacy share-exchange agreement, limiting potential exposure to less than 5.5% of its total AI data center portfolio.
The Company is strengthening its capital structure by terminating ~385M stock options and may recover up to 1.56B shares, targeting the elimination of more than 50% of potential dilution.
EdgeMode continues to advance its 1.5GW IT AI data center development pipeline in Spain, with upcoming milestones across permitting, power, design, and early client engagement.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Dec. 12, 2025 – PRISM MediaWire (Press Release Service – Press Release Distribution) – EdgeMode, Inc. (OTC: EDGM) (“EdgeMode” or the “Company”) today announced the results of a recent internal review of certain legacy arrangements and provided an update on its expanding AI Data Center development portfolio in Spain.

Internal Review of Legacy Agreements

As part of a routine internal review, the Company identified issues within a Share exchange agreement completed earlier this year. The Company has issued notice of its intention to pursue rescission of that agreement based on information recently discovered. While the rescission process is subject to formal procedures and may require judicial action, the Company has taken the initial steps toward unwinding the transaction.

The potential impact of this action represents less than 5.5% of the Company’s total AI data center development portfolio, which currently stands at 1.8GW of Gross AI Data Center capacity in Spain.

Anti-Dilutive Effects of Pending Rescission Actions

As part of the Company’s internal review, the Board has already taken action to terminate approximately 385 million unexercised stock options, eliminating 12.8% of potential dilution immediately.

If rescission is completed, the Company also expects the potential return to treasury of up to 1.56 billion shares previously issued under the agreement.

If finalized, these actions would collectively eliminate more than 50% of potential and outstanding dilution, significantly increasing every shareholder’s percentage ownership of EdgeMode.

Spain AI Data Center Development Portfolio Continues to Advance

EdgeMode confirms that its strategic AI Data Center portfolio in Spain, one of the largest in Europe at 1.5 GW IT development capacity – remains entirely intact and continues to progress on schedule.

The Company expects to announce multiple milestones over the coming quarters relating to:

Permitting approvals

Power procurement

Design and engineering updates

Early-stage client engagements

Governance Measures to Support Stability

To support continuity during this transition, the Company established a Series D preferred class of stock to provide clear governance stability as the rescission process moves forward. This measure has no economic dilution effect on Common stockholders and supports consistent oversight during a period of structural review.

CEO Comment

“The steps we have taken strengthen our capital structure and allow us to focus fully on advancing our AI Data center development pipeline in Spain,” said Charlie Faulkner, CEO. “Our intention is to ensure the Company is positioned securely for the next phase of growth, and we look forward to sharing further updates as milestones are achieved.”
