Hardly anyone, including the company’s fans, would call California-based neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) a winner in 2022. SOFI stock lost a great deal of value that year, but this could be a setup for a multi-bagger recovery.

To put it bluntly, Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) investors got the ground-and-pound treatment last year.
