SoFi (SOFI)
Through increasing overall revenue stability, decreasing dependency on a particular business sector, and diversifying its revenue streams, SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) reached a noteworthy milestone. The non-lending categories accounted for 40% of the adjusted net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. This indicates efforts toward diversity and stability in revenue.
Interestingly, the combined contribution of the Tech Platform and Financial Services divisions to adjusted net revenue was 40%, an increase from 34% in Q4 2022. Moreover, Financial Services generated over $430 million in sales for the year, or 85% of all products.
Additionally, revenue diversification improves overall revenue stability by lowering SoFi’s susceptibility to market swings and regulatory issues related to any one business. Therefore, the growing share of non-lending sectors in adjusted net revenue highlights SoFi’s cross-selling tactics’ efficacy as well as the company’s successful growth into adjacent markets.
Lastly, consolidated full-year adjusted net revenue was a whopping $2.1 billion, up 35% from the previous fiscal year. So, the steady increase in income highlights SoFi’s capacity to monetize its products and successfully attract a wider clientele.
Mitek (MITK)
For Mitek (NASDAQ:MITK), the convergence of identity and fraud offers a large market potential, especially in regulated sectors. These include financial services, iGaming, mobile operators, and healthcare.
For instance, there is a 20% increase in Mitek’s revenue from deposits year over year (YOY). This demonstrates the growing need for its products in the banking industry. Moreover, the considerable growth potential for resolving fraud-related concerns is reflected in the possibility of $200 million in yearly revenue from Check Fraud Defender.
Additionally, Mitek’s mobile deposit business shows the possibility of steady income streams and long-term expansion. Mitek enjoys the benefit of a steady income stream, with over 1.2 billion mobile check deposits recorded in fiscal 2023. Furthermore, analysts are projecting continuous demand for check deposit services. Looking forward, this increase in mobile check deposits highlights the resilience and scalability of Mitek’s business strategy.
Finally, Mitek has a great opportunity to develop the Check Fraud Defender (CFD). This may generate $200 million in revenue annually over the next five to seven years. Hence, statistics on market size and potential bank savings demonstrate the significant contribution of CFD to countercheck fraud and derive value for financial institutions.
