Dear Reader,

Take a look at this:

The world’s largest gold miner — Newmont — has doubled over the last year.

It beat Apple.

It beat Nvidia.

It beat Meta, Tesla, Amazon, and Google.

Every. Single. One.

And here’s the truly astonishing part…

More than two dozen other companies just like it have done even better.

Names nobody follows. Stocks nobody recommends on CNBC.

Yet they’ve delivered 5 to 10x the returns of Wall Street’s biggest favorites.

JC Parets — the man Fox Business calls “the King of Technicals” — says this isn’t an accident.

It’s a 135-year-old pattern he calls the “Chaos Cycle.”

The market is splitting in two. And the side everyone is ignoring is quietly delivering the biggest gains in decades.

He’s just recorded an urgent briefing explaining what’s happening… and which names are set to lead from here.

Including one he’s giving away free.

Go here now.

Good investing,

Can SoFi Shares Thrive Through Maturity?

Author: Peter Frank. Originally Published: 3/22/2026.

Key Points

SoFi is transforming from a student-loan specialist into a full-service digital bank, targeting Gen Z with a mobile-first platform.
A SoFiUSD stablecoin partnership with Mastercard positions SoFi at the forefront of cheaper, always-on crypto-powered payments.
Strong 2025 results and membership growth support SoFi’s long-term outlook, even as credit risks, competition, and stock volatility pressure sentiment.
Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"

No longer just a fintech upstart, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) is reaping benefits — and facing new challenges — from its evolution into a full-service "financial supermarket."

From its beginnings as a student-loan refinancing platform, SoFi has developed into one of the more ambitious digital banking operations in the United States.

Gold Shock Coming? (Ad)

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently told Fortune gold could "easily" hit $10,000. Combined with the uncertainty we've seen in 2026—tariffs, war, a shaky dollar—the case for gold has never been stronger.

But here's the uncomfortable truth: Most people will run out and buy bullion or mining stocks and miss the biggest gains entirely. There's an overlooked gold strategy almost no one talks about that has nothing to do with owning physical metals, gold ETFs, or even traditional miners—and in one historic period, it turned every $5,000 invested into more than $1.6 million.

Like the transition seen at Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD), which expanded into a department store of investing, SoFi's strategy is simple but powerful.

Instead of offering a single financial product, SoFi now provides checking accounts, high-yield savings, personal loans, mortgages, credit cards, stock trading, and financial-planning tools.

For younger consumers — particularly Gen Z and millennials — this all-in-one digital experience increasingly resembles the future of banking.

SoFi has also moved into crypto-enabled transfers. In early March, SoFi and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) announced an expansion of their partnership to integrate SoFi's proprietary stablecoin, SoFiUSD, into Mastercard's global payments network. SoFi was the first nationally chartered bank to pursue this approach.

That move gives SoFi an early advantage in issuing a stablecoin on a public blockchain and could allow cheaper, 24/7 transfers and more efficient international remittances. Sentiment is mixed, however: long-term enthusiasm is tempered by near-term concerns about compliance and regulatory scrutiny.

Earnings and Revenue Are Up

With growth across multiple lines, SoFi has been hitting its targets. The company reported $3.61 billion in total net revenue in 2025, representing 35% year-over-year growth. Quarterly revenue topped $1 billion for the first time in the three months ended Dec. 31. For the year, the company generated $481.3 million in net income; on an adjusted basis, fourth-quarter net income rose 60%.

Of particular interest is how SoFi continues to leverage its 2022 banking license to build fee-based revenue. The company reported $37.5 billion in total deposits at the end of 2025. Those deposits largely come from SoFi's high-yield digital savings accounts, which appeal to younger customers who manage their finances via mobile apps. Loan origination volume for the year rose 57%, with home loans leading the way — up 86%.

New products are also boosting non-interest income. Fee-based revenue in the fourth quarter increased 53% year over year and was running at a $1.8 billion annualized rate.

This growth has coincided with strong membership gains. SoFi ended 2025 with 13.7 million members, up 35% from a year earlier. In the fourth quarter alone, the company added a record 1 million members. With effective cross-selling, each new member could provide a foundation for long-term revenue.

Recent Marketplace Pressures Weigh on Shares

Despite these gains, SoFi's shares have been under pressure. After hitting a 52-week high of $32.73 in November, the stock is down roughly 50%.

Several factors contributed to the decline. The company announced a $1.5 billion capital raise at $27.50 in December, below its then-trading price. Sentiment around the company's stablecoin, launched at the end of 2025, cooled as digital assets slid late in the year. And economic worries have raised questions about credit quality.

Wall Street sentiment is mixed. The stock carries a Hold rating, with price targets that reflect both growth optimism and macroeconomic caution. Notably, the average price target sits above $26 — implying meaningful upside from current levels.

The Risk of a Maturing Market

One key concern is credit quality. SoFi earns a large portion of its revenue from personal loans, and originations across student, personal, and home loans have all risen significantly. If the economy weakens, higher default rates could pressure profitability. As the company matures, its performance may increasingly resemble that of the broader financial sector.

Competition is another risk. Traditional banks, fintech apps, and brokerage platforms are all targeting younger customers. Financial giants such as JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) are investing heavily in digital capabilities, which could narrow SoFi's technology edge.

Still, SoFi's demographic reach and brand recognition could provide a durable advantage over the longer term. The company must continue to demonstrate sustainable profitability and maintain strong credit quality as it scales.

If it succeeds, SoFi could be attractive to investors willing to accept some risk in exchange for exposure to the digital transformation of consumer finance.

Planet Labs: The Satellite Stock That Keeps Shooting to the Moon

Reported by Leo Miller. Posted: 3/22/2026.

Key Points

Planet Labs shares delivered one of the most impressive performances of 2025, rising nearly 400%.
The company's latest earnings report added more fuel to the fire as sales, earnings, and guidance came in well above expectations.
Planet Labs is generating impressive results, and management believes AI could unlock even more growth.
Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"

Investors just can't seem to get enough of satellite and geospatial imaging stock Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL). In 2025, the stock delivered an astonishing return of 388% as the firm's revenue growth accelerated sharply.

That momentum has continued in 2026, with shares up more than 30% around mid-March. On March 19, Planet Labs rose almost 9% during the regular session ahead of its earnings release, then jumped more than 25% after the report.

3-day warning (Ad)

I've worked for the CIA, personally met four US presidents, and spent 45 years studying the markets—calling Black Monday six weeks before it happened, predicting the fall of the Berlin Wall, and pinpointing the exact bottom in 2009. But what I'm about to share with you is the boldest prediction of my career.

After meeting Elon Musk face-to-face at a private gathering of Wall Street elites and months of my own research, I'm now staking my reputation on one date: March 26, 2026. That's when I believe Elon will announce the SpaceX IPO—what Bloomberg is calling the biggest listing of all time. I have found an access code that lets you grab a pre-IPO stake before it happens, but in 72 hours, your window could close.

Given the meteoric rise in this industrial stock, is there still upside? Examining the company's business model and recent financials can help investors decide.

Planet Labs: Improving Decision Making with Earth Imaging

Planet Labs' business is straightforward. The company operates the world's largest fleet of earth-imaging satellites, which capture daily pictures of the planet. Planet sells these images and related analytics software to customers, generating recurring subscription revenue.

Planet Labs provides value by helping customers detect and understand changes on the Earth's surface, improving their decision-making. In its fiscal year 2026 (FY2026), 59% of revenue came from Defense and Intelligence customers. (Note that Planet Labs' fiscal year runs several quarters ahead of the calendar year.)

Planet Labs' imaging lets government customers monitor activities of interest, including potential adversaries.

The company also serves civil government and commercial customers: in FY2026, 23% of revenue came from civil government and 18% from commercial customers.

Commercial users span industries such as agriculture, insurance, energy, forestry, and finance. For example, commodity traders can use satellite imagery to assess crop conditions and anticipate supply changes that affect prices, giving them an informational edge.

Launching and maintaining satellites is capital intensive, so Planet Labs needs scale to reach profitability. Its "one-to-many" model is central to that strategy: basic customers access a shared dataset of images, which is more scalable than legacy competitors that sell exclusive images. Higher-priced tiers provide higher-resolution imagery for targeted regions, and premium tiers can reserve exclusive captures when a satellite passes over an area of interest.

Planet Labs Posts Big Beats, Crushes Guidance Expectations

In its latest quarter, Planet Labs reported revenue of $86.8 million, up 41% year over year. That comfortably beat estimates near $78.2 million, which implied 27% growth. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.00, an improvement from a loss of $0.02 a year earlier and better than the $0.04 loss analysts had expected.

For FY2027, Planet Labs is forecasting midpoint revenue of $427.5 million, roughly 39% growth — a significant acceleration versus FY2026's 26% full-year growth. That guidance topped analyst estimates of about $380 million.

Notably, for the first time Planet Labs generated positive full-year adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow (FCF): adjusted EBITDA was $15.5 million and FCF was $52.9 million.

Looking to FY2027, the company expects adjusted EBITDA to decline to between $0 million and $10 million, while still forecasting positive FCF without providing a more detailed range.

Planet Labs continues to prioritize growth over near-term profitability. The company reports a $900 million backlog — up 77% year over year — which is nearly three times the $307.7 million in revenue it generated in FY2026. Serving that backlog requires investment; management expects to double satellite manufacturing capacity in FY2027.

Management also expects to deliver only about 37% of the backlog over the next 12 months, underscoring the multi-year nature of the revenue and explaining why near-term profitability pressures may be less concerning.

PL Eyes AI-Driven Demand Unlock in Civil and Commercial Markets

Following the recent spike, Planet Labs' market capitalization sits above $10 billion, implying a high forward price-to-sales multiple of roughly 23x–26x. The market is clearly pricing in substantial growth for years to come.

Such growth is possible but uncertain. Management believes advances in AI will unlock more demand in civil and commercial markets in FY2027. Those markets were flat or down in FY2026, with Defense and Intelligence driving the recent growth, but management thinks civil and commercial demand could ultimately exceed defense demand over the long term.

Ultimately, Planet Labs' current valuation relies as much on a growth story and the promise of its product as on today's financials. Investing in this name requires conviction that the company can expand its commercial footprint and convert its sizable backlog into sustained, profitable revenue.
