Gobs of good stocks can turn $1,000 per month into $1 million or more. It just takes disciplined investing, a fair amount of time, and, of course, a good stock — or stocks.
Here’s one such stock from the financial sector: SoFi Technologies (SOFI 1.74%). It has been averaging annual gains of 43% over the past three years, though it’s down 25% year to date. That presents an attractive buying opportunity.

Today’s Change
Current Price
SoFi began with younger consumers, and it has continued courting them — for example, by pushing into cryptocurrency. It’s succeeding, too, posting a revenue gain of 37% year over year for its fourth quarter and a fee-based revenue gain of 53%. Its membership, too, is growing briskly, rising 35% year over year to 13.7 million people.
CEO Anthony Noto has noted, “Our one-stop shop is scaling exactly as intended and delivering a winning combination of growth and returns. We added a record 1 million new members this quarter and drove record product growth.”
Best of all, SoFi’s stock seems reasonably valued or even a bit undervalued at recent levels.
