A federal appeals court has blocked President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration from implementing its Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39845798/whats-going-on-with-sofi-technologies-stock">student debt relief plan.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by seven states to put on hold parts of the U.S. Department of Education&#8217;s debt relief plan. Combined with a previous ruling last month by U.S. District Judge John Ross in St. Louis, the entire SAVE plan is now blocked from being implemented as the legal process continues. 
&#8220;Appellants&#8217; emergency motion for an administrative stay prohibiting the appellees from implementing or acting pursuant to the Final Rule until this Court rules on the appellants&#8217; motion for an injunction pending appeal is granted,&#8221; 8th Circuit Court stated in its ruling.&nbsp;

According to a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/save-plan-blocked-student-loan-borrowers-cheaper-payments-debt-cancellation-2024-7">report </a>from Business Insider, the Department of Education's Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar recently responded to the court on the confusion that would be caused if implementation of the SAVE plan was blocked at this stage.&nbsp;
&#8220;Many have already received bills that reflect the decrease in monthly payments to 5% of their discretionary income,&#8221; Prelogar wrote. &#8220;Many would experience intense confusion when they are told that their payments must be recalculated and that they must be placed in forbearance — which would delay any eventual loan forgiveness.&#8221;

Appeals Court Blocks Biden's SAVE Student Loan Debt Relief Plan

Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) shares are trading higher today after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter EPS results yesterday.
The company reported GAAP earnings of $6.06 per share, beating the estimate of $3.07 per share, and quarterly<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39826835/discover-reports-better-than-expected-q2-results-heres-the-details" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Net Interest Income (NII) of $3.524 billion</a>.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Jon G. Arfstrom says the stock&#8217;s performance (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DFS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sector Perform, with a $140 price target</a>) is likely to be influenced primarily by the pending merger with Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>), with the expectation that the acquisition <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39827834/why-capital-one-stock-is-climbing" rel="noreferrer noopener">will eventually be completed</a>.
Concurrently, Discover is progressing independently by addressing regulatory and compliance issues, simplifying operations focused on core consumer banking and everyday card products, divesting student lending, and achieving peak<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DFS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> credit costs, writes the analyst</a>.
Arfstrom anticipates these strategic actions to position the company well as it moves forward in the year.
The company now projects an FY24 margin of 11.1% to 11.4%, up from 10.7% to 11.0% previously, with the student loan sale expected to boost the NIM by around 10 basis <a target="_blank" href="https://s23.q4cdn.com/669804705/files/doc_financials/2024/q2/Second-Quarter-2024-Earnings-Presentation.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">points</a>.
The analyst anticipates management will narrow the guidance range further as 2024 progresses. Additionally, the buyback remains on hold due to the pending merger.
Seperately, the company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39813634/discover-financial-services-announces-agreement-to-sell-private-student-loan-portfolio" rel="noreferrer noopener">disclosed a deal to sell its $10.1 billion</a> private student loan portfolio to investment vehicles managed by The Carlyle Group Inc.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>), with servicing to be handled by Firstmark Services, a division of Nelnet, Inc.(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNI#NYSE">NNI</a>).
The portfolio is set to be sold for approximately $10.8 billion, reflecting a premium of around $700 million or about 7%, says the analyst.
Arfstrom writes that the robust premium on the portfolio reflects its high quality and attractiveness, aligning with management&#8217;s expectations upon announcing the business exit several quarters ago.

Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) announced Wednesday that it has entered into an agreement to sell its private <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39813634/discover-financial-services-announces-agreement-to-sell-private-student-loan-portfolio">student loan portfolio</a> to one or more strategic partnerships with Firstmark Services, a division of Nelnet, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNI#NYSE">NNI</a>) assuming responsibility for servicing the portfolio upon the sale.&nbsp;
The principal balance of Discover's private student loan portfolio was approximately $10.1 billion, and the purchase price is expected to be up to approximately $10.8 billion.&nbsp;
Student loans accounted for 17.21% of SoFi's loan origination volume in the first quarter, and the segment grew 43% year-over-year.&nbsp;
SoFi is set to report its second-quarter results on July 30 before the opening bell. According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect the company to report earnings of 1 cent per share and quarterly revenue of $563.908 million. 
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, SoFi shares are trading above the stock&#8217;s 50-day moving average of $6.86 and 18.66% of shares are being sold short.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SOFI Stock Prediction 2024: </h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at SoFi Technologies, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For SoFi Technologies, the 200-day moving average sits at $7.60, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $7.98. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
SOFI Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, SoFi Technologies shares are down 0.51% at $7.80 at the time of publication Thursday.

President Joe Biden is canceling yet another round of student loan debt amounting to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-loans">more than $7.4 billion</a>. 
What Happened: Roughly another 277,000 borrowers, especially public sector workers, are expected to benefit from the revised plan. 
Among the changes that are a part of the SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education) plan, include:
<ul>
<li>An income-driven repayment (IDR) plan, which bases monthly payment on income and family size.</li>
<li>Payments will now be based on a smaller portion of adjusted gross income.</li>
<li>If you make your full monthly payment, but it is not enough to cover the accrued monthly interest, the government covers the rest of the interest that accrued that month. </li>
<li>This means that the SAVE Plan prevents your balance from growing due to unpaid interest.</li>
<li>As of February, borrowers with $12,000 or less are forgiven after as few as 10 years.</li>
</ul>
More elements of SAVE will go into effect this summer.
The announcement was a follow-up from Monday, April 8, when Biden touted renewed efforts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/04/38112671/as-biden-readies-another-large-scale-student-loan-forgiveness-plan-here-are-stocks-to-watch">offer relief to debt-saddled individuals and families</a>.
&#8220;Too many people feel the strain and stress, wondering if they can get married, have their first child, start a family, because even if they get by, they still have this crushing, crushing debt,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: More than 4 million people will benefit from the debt relief.
In total, the Biden administration has OKed some $153 billion in student loan debt — over 9% of all outstanding federal student loan debt.
The plan is not without its Republican critics. GOP officials like Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr say Biden is defying the conservative-leaning Supreme Court. 
Last year, Supreme Justices ruled against Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35482019/biden-has-canceled-billions-in-student-loans-even-after-the-supreme-court-ruled-against-him">original loan forgiveness plan</a>.
Two groups of Republican-led states have even <a href="https://apnews.com/article/student-debt-cancellation-college-forgiveness-f94b9706bd395b32e44d4d1b3f6ff051">filed</a> lawsuits against the Biden administration over the initiative.
&#8220;Despite the Court having already settled this issue, the Biden administration continues to brazenly violate the law,&#8221; Carr <a href="https://law.georgia.gov/press-releases/2024-04-09/carr-files-suit-against-president-bidens-latest-lawless-student-loan-plan">said</a>. &#8220;Georgia taxpayers have made it clear that they know it's wrong to be forced to pay off other people's student loans, particularly those with the highest earning potential. This is election-year politics and an egregious example of federal overreach, and we're fighting back yet again.&#8221;
The Education Department clapped back, pointing out how Congress gave the agency power to define terms of repayment plans <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/2055/text">in 1993</a>.
&#8220;The Biden-Harris Administration won't stop fighting to provide support and relief to borrowers across the country — no matter how many times Republican elected officials try to stop us,&#8221; the department said.

What&#8217;s Next: Expect Biden to contrast his student loan forgiveness program with the education policies of his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">2024 presidential opponent</a>, former President Donald Trump. 
During a speech in Wisconsin this week, Biden made a subtle jab at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/33851310/donald-trump-election-fraud-probe-georgia-grand-jury-reportedly-issues-10-indictments">quadruple-indicted GOP candidate</a>.
&#8220;We plan to cancel debt for borrowers who were cheated by universities that left students with unaffordable and little benefits for students,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;You know one of those colleges was closed&#8230; I won&#8217;t mention it.&#8221;
The crowd laughed, seemingly in on Biden&#8217;s joke. Trump shut down Trump University in 2011 after multiple investigations, lawsuits and student complaints.

Sunrock DG And Nelnet Partner For Renewable Distributed Generation Projects

President Joe Biden isn&#8217;t reneging on promises to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-loans">cancel student loan debt</a>. 
What Happened: <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/biden-to-make-second-attempt-at-large-scale-student-loan-forgiveness-ef1da5fe?mod=hp_lead_pos3">According</a> to the Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration is expected to announce a renewed proposal to reduce or eliminate student loan debt for millions of borrowers.
The Journal, citing unnamed sources, expects Biden&#8217;s announcement to occur next week.
The move seemingly defies a decision by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35482019/biden-has-canceled-billions-in-student-loans-even-after-the-supreme-court-ruled-against-him">the Supreme Court, which overturned</a> the administration's first debt cancellation plan in 2023. That first attempt would have wiped up to $20,000 in student debt for borrowers making less than $125,000.
However, the Biden administration clapped back in February. It unveiled a forgiveness plan of about $1.2 billion in student loans, relieving <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37231741/biden-forgives-1-2b-in-student-debt-for-150k-borrowers-hit-by-specific-issues">more than 150,000 borrowers</a>.
&#8220;Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration&#8217;s SAVE plan, starting today, the Administration will be cancelling debt for borrowers who are enrolled in the SAVE plan, have been in repayment for at least 10 years and took out $12,000 or less in loans for college,&#8221; the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/02/21/fact-sheet-president-biden-cancels-student-debt-for-more-than-150000-student-loan-borrowers-ahead-of-schedule/">announced</a> at the time.
The Biden administration&#8217;s program aims to ease the burden on Americans who have been repaying for at least a decade.

The total amount of relief approved by the Biden administration stands at nearly $138 billion. It benefits more than 4 million borrowers. 
This number may increase as more individuals become eligible for forgiveness under the SAVE program, which currently has 6.9 million participants.
Despite these efforts, they fall short of Biden's initial proposal for broader student loan cancellation, which the U.S. Supreme Court rejected last year.
Why It Matters: In 2023, the administration agreed to forgive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/07/33231960/biden-administration-to-forgive-39b-in-student-debt-providing-relief-for-over-800k-borrowers">$39 billion in student debt</a> by updating a technical requirement under an existing program. 
Despite the Supreme Court's ruling against it, the administration flagged $127 billion of federal student loans for potential cancellation. 
According to EducationData.org, the average debt for a four-year bachelor's degree is $34,700. 
Tickers To Watch: Student loan collection companies, like SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), saw modest movement on Friday, April 5, on the heels of the news.
SoFi, which counts student loans as a significant chunk of the company&#8217;s total lending products, saw its stock price go up more than 0.85% to $7.37&nbsp;a share as of press time. 
SLM Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>) was also in the green, trading at $21.12 a share — up by 0.31%.
Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>), rumored to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/09/34618431/is-discover-financial-in-crisis-it-mulls-student-loan-business-sale-after-ceo-resignation">selling its student-loan unit</a>, is up slightly by 0.1% and trading at $125.11 a share.
Meanwhile, Nelnet Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNI#NYSE">NNI</a>) and Navient Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) were both in the red. Nelnet was down more than 0.65%, trading at $93.05; Navient&#8217;s stock price was down 0.06%, trading at $16.86 a share.

The age-old debate surrounding the worth of a college degree, especially with the soaring costs of tuition, continues to be a contentious one. 
With student loan debt outstripping inflation rates over the past few decades, the question is — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-loans">does the reward outweigh the risk?</a>
A study issued <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/non-completion-student-debt-and-financial-well-being-20230821.html">this week</a> by the Federal Reserve underscored the high-risk nature of pursuing higher education.
A college degree might promise a lucrative future with earnings of an additional $1 million over a lifetime, yet it remains a gamble for many. The glaring risk associated with attending college is the increasing likelihood of non-completion — so it's no surprise that a huge chunk of the risk can be attributed to the financial strain brought on by student loans without the financial advantages of having a degree.
The Cost Of Non-Completion: It&#8217;s apparent the financial returns of attending college predominantly lie with acquiring the degree. Those failing to graduate bear the brunt of both implicit and explicit costs, the report said. Alarmingly, the Fed's data showed just six out of 10 attendees of four-year institutions obtain their degree, with rates even lower at two-year institutions.
Despite considerable investments from both the government and educational institutions to boost the numbers, there are still no impactful solutions.
Amid the ongoing debate about student loan debts, political figures are increasingly vocal. Notably, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer, in their response to the new <a href="https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-provide-804000-borrowers-39-billion-automatic-loan-forgiveness-result-fixes-income-driven-repayment-plans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saving on A Valuable Education (SAVE) plan</a>, acknowledged the potential benefits of plans aiming to alleviate student debt.
&#8220;The fight to cancel student debt is far from over, but this is a massive step in the right direction,&#8221; Schumer said in a Tuesday <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-statement-on-president-bidens-newly-announced-save-plan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>.
Warren urged caution, saying in a <a href="https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/1694007839948189854" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">post on X</a> that Republicans in Congress are "trying to repeal this relief."
The Untapped Data: Most surveys overlook the financial outcomes of students with loans who do not complete their degree, primarily due to a lack of relevant data. However, the Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) the Fed used stood out by probing respondents about their highest education level funded by student loans, identifying those who borrowed beyond their completed education level.
SHED's findings were strikingly grim. Non-completion among student loan borrowers leads to severe consequences on financial well-being, regret concerning their education and heightened SNAP benefit receipt.
The Numbers Tell The Story: When comparing those who completed (&#8220;completers&#8221;) to those who didn&#8217;t (&#8220;non-completers&#8221;), the SHED provided alarming insights. A distinct chasm emerged in financial well-being between the two groups, with non-completers struggling to manage even a sudden expense of $400.
The statistics further underscore the precarious financial situation of non-completers, especially when borrowing for college does not lead to a degree.
Additionally, a look at 6-year completion rates across public and private institutions using the College Scorecard data shows a stark contrast. While the median completion rate hovers around 60%, there is steep variation, with educational disparities only widening existing inequalities.
More to that, non-completion not only has financial repercussions but also leads to a sense of regret regarding one&#8217;s educational choices, the report found. Non-completers were frequently unhappy with their chosen field, institution, or the lack of further education, with the last being the most pronounced sentiment.
The data from the SHED highlights a poignant reality.
College graduates with debt undoubtedly fare better than those without degrees, however, college dropouts burdened with debt face the harshest financial outcomes, worse than any other group.
The potential reasons behind the disparity are manifold — restricted credit access due to undischarged student loans could mar an individual&#8217;s financial trajectory. 
In a climate of increased scrutiny of student loans, investors may want to keep an eye on stocks exposed to loans. Companies like as Nelnet, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNI#NYSE">NNI</a>), SLM Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>), and SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>) might see volatility as a result of changing student loan policies.
Non-completers might find themselves locked out of significant financial decisions, like purchasing homes or cars, even if they default on their student loans.
The Fed's findings reiterate the need for boosting higher education completion rates. Investing in measures to provide comprehensive support, financial literacy and mental health resources can pave the way for a brighter future for many.
