Muddy Waters released a short-seller report alleging SoFi inflated fair-value gains on its student and personal loan portfolios, which are the company's primary revenue drivers. The accusation targets reported loan valuation gains that materially boost earnings and, if validated, could reduce reported profitability and damage investor confidence. Expect near-term downward pressure on SoFi shares and increased scrutiny of its accounting and governance.
