Student Loan Payments Surge With Deadline Ahead: What's Next For Borrowers?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The suspension of federal student loan payments is set to conclude in October 2022. However, remittances to the Department of Education have surged to levels higher than before the payment pause, according to Goldman Sachs’ analyst Alec Phillips. This surge has prompted questions about the burden that borrowers may face once the payments restart. In response to these developments, SoFi Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:SOFI), Navient Corp. (NASDAQ:NAVI), and SLM Corp. (NASDAQ:SLM) experienced a dip in their share prices.
