Why Rocket Companies Stock Sank 10.9% in July
Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT) had another rough month in July, dropping 10.9%, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. The leading home mortgage lender in the U.S. was well off the benchmark, the S&P 500, which gained 2.3% in July. The mortgage company's stock price is down about 9% year to date as of Aug. 4, trading at about $17 per share.
Rocket is the largest home mortgage lender in the U.S. by loan originations. It went public last August at $18 per share and is down slightly from that one year later. But it's been a bumpy ride as the stock spiked to over $40 per share in March only to come crashing back to earth in the ensuing months.
