What happened

Shares of SoFi Technologies ( SOFI 2.18% ) had slipped nearly 10% as of 2:03 p.m. ET today after the company announced that it plans to acquire the core processing company Technisys.

So what

SoFi plans to purchase Technisys for $1.1 billion in an all-stock transaction. Technisys develops core banking systems, which help banks carry out their daily operations, whether that is processing a deposit or loan transaction.

NASDAQ: SOFI

SoFi expects the acquisition to generate between $500 million and $800 million of additional revenue through 2025.

Now what

Moving SoFi products over to Technisys' core is a good idea, although SoFi didn't have to buy the company to use its products. However, the addition of Technisys will complement Galileo, a payments platform it acquired in 2020, and increase tech platform revenue greatly.

Key Points

Social Capital and other major shareholders made significant sales of SoFi stock in November.

What happened

SoFi Technologies ( NASDAQ:SOFI) plunged 14.4%, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence, after the company announced a secondary offering and a high-profile shareholder announced that it would be selling shares. This comes shortly after the fintech stock impressed with its third-quarter earnings report.

Now what

Large investors selling is never a good sign, but it's important to keep this in perspective. Social Capital, for example, is still retaining 85% of its investment in SoFi. By all indications, these investors are taking an opportunity to realize their gains at high valuations. It's not indicative of poor performance on SoFi's part.
