What Happened: Wedbush analyst David Chiaverini downgraded SoFi from Neutral to Underperform and lowered the price target from $5 to $2.50, citing valuation concerns.

This is the second time Chiaverini has downgraded SoFi in the last two weeks. At the beginning of the month, the Wedbush analyst downgraded SoFi from Outperform to Neutral and lowered the price target from $8 to $5.
According to Benzinga's insider trading activity page, CEO Anthony Noto purchased 30,000 shares last week at an average price of $5.12 per share. Despite the recent insider buying, SoFi shares are hovering close to 52-week lows. SoFi currently has a short interest of 12.42%, according to Benzinga Pro.
