AI-generated source summary
SOFI's revenue growth from 2017 to 2025 is projected to increase significantly, with a CAGR of 26.9%. PayPal's revenue growth over the same period shows a CAGR of 12.8%. SOFI's return on invested capital improved from -5.8% in 2021 to 7.2% in 2025, while PayPal maintained a relatively stable return on invested capital, fluctuating between 4.5% and 7.3% during the same period. Based on a discounted cash flow analysis with a terminal growth rate of 3% and a discount rate of 11.5%, SOFI's intrinsic value is estimated at $18.93, trading at a forward P/E of 66.90. PayPal's intrinsic value is calculated at $127.54, with a forward P/E of 12.26. This suggests SOFI is currently overvalued compared to PayPal, which appears undervalued based on these metrics. The analysis indicates that SOFI's business model, focused on digital services and a lack of physical branches, provides a competitive advantage over traditional brick-and-mortar banks, especially in a digital-first economy. However, the current high valuation of SOFI compared to its fundamentals and PayPal's significantly lower valuation suggests a preference for PayPal for investment at this time.
