On August 7, Rocket Companies rose 5.6% in pre-market trading, trading at $13.99/share, with turnover of $3.07 million. The rebound follows a sharp sell-off triggered by Q2 earnings that slightly missed expectations combined with industry-wide systematic selling.
Rocket Companies reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.16, missing the consensus estimate of $0.17 by approximately 6%. Revenue came in at $2.78 billion versus the $2.81 billion estimate. The company also guided Q3 adjusted revenue of $2.5-2.7 billion, below the analyst projection of $2.86 billion. CEO cited the toughest spring housing market in years. Following the report, shares fell over 5% intraday and an additional 10% after hours on the prior trading day.
The broader mortgage finance sector experienced severe pressure, with UWM Holdings plunging over 34% and Walker & Dunlop falling 17.5%. The current pre-market recovery appears driven by oversold conditions, with peers also rebounding: UWM Holdings up 4.17% and PennyMac up 2.0%.
