You could buy 100 shares of $SOFI right now for ~$1,508 Or you could buy the $15 call LEAP expiring January 2028 for ~$550 Directional exposure to 100 shares. ~63% less capital. Over 612 days of runway. The trade: Strike: $15 Expiration: January 21, 2028 Premium: ~$5.50 per contract Breakeven: $20.50 If $SOFI hits $25, this LEAP returns ~82% If $SOFI hits $30, this LEAP returns ~173% If $SOFI hits $40, this LEAP returns ~355% Buying 100 shares at $15.04 and watching it hit $50 is a ~232% return. The LEAP returns ~536% on roughly a third of the capital. Why I like the setup: - Q1 2026 adjusted net revenue up 41% YoY to $1.09B - Adjusted EBITDA up 62% YoY to $340M with a 31% margin - Members up 35% YoY to 14.7M - Products up 39% YoY to 22.2M - Total loan originations hit a record $12.2B, up 68% YoY - Financial Services revenue up 41% YoY to $428.5M - Deposits grew $2.7B in the quarter to $40.2B - Management maintained 2026 guidance for ~$4.655B in adjusted net revenue, ~$1.6B in adjusted EBITDA, and ~$0.60 adjusted EPS The max you can lose on a LEAP is the entire premium you paid. In this case, that's ~$550 per contract. LEAPs are leveraged and can lose value quickly if the stock drops or stays flat. Only size this so you're comfortable losing all of it. Note: LEAPs are one tool inside a broader portfolio. Owning shares is always the primary use of capital. This is a selective add-on for high-conviction moments when conditions align. NFA DYOR
