SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is in the spotlight after SoftBank (OTCMKTS:SFTBY) sold shares of the company for the third time this month. In the month of August, the multinational conglomerate has now sold off a total of 49.85 million shares, reducing its stake by 52%. The recent sale saw SoftBank sell 18.22 million shares on Aug. 16. After the sale, the firm now owns 45.42 million shares, equivalent to a 4.9% stake. In addition, SoftBank's stake has now fallen below the 5% threshold that requires filers to file a 13D or 13G form. As a result, the conglomerate is not required to disclose any further sales of SOFI stock.
SOFI(纳斯达克：SOFI)股票在经历了软银(OTCMKTS：SFTBY)本月第三次出售该公司股票。8月份，这家跨国企业集团总共出售了4985万股，减持了52%的股份。在最近的出售中，软银在8月16日出售了1,822万股。出售后，软银现在拥有4,542万股，相当于4.9%的股份。此外，软银的持股比例现在已降至5%的门槛以下，这一门槛要求申报人提交13D或13G表格。因此，该集团不需要披露任何进一步出售Sofi股票的信息。
SoftBank's first sale of SOFI was on Aug. 5. Since then, shares of the company have declined by about 15% as the stock struggles to find a price floor. What's more, SoftBank hinted after its first sale that it may "sell some or all of their holdings of Shares of the Issuer [SoFi] in the open market." So, why exactly is the firm selling out?
软银第一次出售Sofi是在8月5日。自那以来，该公司股价下跌了约15%，原因是该股难以找到价格下限。更重要的是，软银在第一次出售后暗示，它可能会出售他们持有的部分或全部发行人的股票[SOFI]在公开市场上。“那么，这家公司到底为什么要卖光？

为什么软银一直在抛售Sofi股票？
SoFi isn't the only company SoftBank has sold. SoftBank also parted ways with Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Opendoor (NASDAQ:OPEN) for a gain of $5.6 billion.
Sofi并不是软银出售的唯一一家公司。软银也与优步(Uber)(纽约证券交易所代码：Uber)和OpenDoor(纳斯达克：打开)，获得56亿美元的收益。
SoftBank isn't selling its stake in SoFi because of a lack of conviction. During Q2, the company reported a record loss of $23.4 billion as the value of its investments — both public and private — experienced major drawdowns. As a result, CEO Masayoshi Son explained that his company is taking a defensive stance in order to continue company operations. He explained, "Our vision remains the same, our beliefs remain the same. But we know we have to reduce operational costs, including headcount. For new investments, we have to be more selective."
由于缺乏说服力，软银不会出售其在SoFi的股份。在第二季度，该公司报告了创纪录的234亿美元的亏损，因为其公共和私人投资的价值经历了大幅缩水。因此，首席执行官孙正义解释说，他的公司正在采取防御立场，以继续公司运营。他解释说：“我们的愿景不变，我们的信念不变。但我们知道，我们必须降低运营成本，包括裁员。对于新的投资，我们必须更加挑剔。”
Meanwhile, SoFi reported strong Q2 earnings results, despite rising rates, inflation and the student loan moratorium. Revenue tallied in at $356 million, beating the consensus analyst estimate of $340.8 million by a healthy 4.5%.
与此同时，SoFi公布了强劲的第二季度收益业绩，尽管利率上升、通胀和学生贷款暂停。营收为3.56亿美元，比分析师普遍预期的3.408亿美元高出4.5%。
Furthermore, the company raised full-year guidance for both adjusted net revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, deductions and amortizations (EBITDA). Full-year revenue is now expected to be between $1.508 billion and $1.513 billion, up from the previous guidance of between $1.505 billion and $1.51 billion. The company now expects EBITDA to be between $104 million and $109 million, up from previous guidance of between $100 million and $105 million.
此外，该公司提高了调整后净收入和扣除利息、税项、扣除和摊销前收益(EBITDA)的全年指引。目前预计全年营收在15.08亿至15.13亿美元之间，高于此前指引的15.05亿至15.1亿美元。该公司目前预计EBITDA在1.04亿至1.09亿美元之间，高于此前1亿至1.05亿美元的指引。
