room to run、raise guidance、upside potential 是什麼意思?

That’s normally considered high, but for a high-growth company like SoFi, which should get an additional boost from the end of the moratorium on student loan repayments, it looks like it still has room to run.

In fact, management raised its guidance for full-year adjusted net revenue in the last quarter to a range of $1.974 billion to $2.034 billion, up from its previous guidance of $1.955 billion to $2.02 billion. The company also expects to achieve net income profitability in the fourth quarter, which would be a major milestone.

At the end of the day, while SoFi is not a stock one would call cheap despite its roughly $8 entry price, there remains some solid upside growth potential in the name. Stay tuned for third-quarter earnings, which should bring more visibility.
