Rocket Companies is a financial services company that was originally founded as Rock Financial in 1985 and is currently based in Detroit. Rocket Companies offers a wide array of services and products but is best known for its Rocket Mortgage business. The company's mortgage lending operations are split between its direct-to-consumer lending, which sees borrowers accessing the company's lending arm directly through either its mobile app or website, and its partner network where mortgage brokers and other firms use Rocket's origination process to offer loans to their customers. The company has rapidly gained market share in recent years and will also be the largest mortgage servicer in the US following its acquisition of the Mr. Cooper Group.

In her June 3rd letter, Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to sound the alarm on Rocket's merger with Redfin and Mr. Cooper—what she really did was ring the bell for investors to load up on Rocket stock.  Warren warns the combined company will "dominate the entire homebuying process." Yes, exactly—and that's the point. ..."

Jim Cramer Says Rocket Is A 'Very Fine' Company, Recommends Buying This Health Care Stock

As ValueAct Holdings, LP. buys a fresh stake in Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research endorses the move, calling the investment a &#8220;multi-year story.&#8221;
What Happened: The co-CEO and CIO of ValueAct, Mason Morfit, added 6.728 million shares worth $81.213 million to its portfolio during the first quarter, according to its 13F filings.
The company represented 1.8% of ValueAct&#8217;s total holdings as of the first quarter.
However, Rocket&#8217;s recent SEC filing dated May 15 showed that ValueAct held 15.125 million shares in the company, representing 9.9% of the total stake.
Citron Research cited this in an X post and lauded the co-CEO, Morfit, for being the &#8220;most strategic, long-term thinkers&#8221; and stating that he is one of the minds who reshaped Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from the boardroom. 
&#8220;When someone like that sees $RKT as a compounder, it's not about quarterly noise—it's the start of a multi-year story,&#8221; said Citron&#8217;s post.
Highlighting Morfit&#8217;s comments, it added, &#8220;The CEO called Rocket a &#8216;sleeping giant&#8217; in its &#8216;early innings&#8217; yesterday,&#8221; the post added.

Rocket Companies Soars 6% In Friday Premarket As Activist Investor ValueAct Reveals New Position, Calls RKT A 'Sleeping Giant' In Early Innings

ValueAct Capital Management Disclosed 9.9% Stake In Rocket Companies

<a href="https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/1922673256789893510" title="https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/1922673256789893510">https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/1922673256789893510</a>

Watching Rocket Companies; Shares See Volume To The Upside, Citron Research Posts On X "Just bought more $RKT Rocket is about to Rocket- and we have already seen a "turning point".  ..."

Best known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/01/30412695/gamestop-short-squeeze-anniversary-a-look-back-at-david-vs-goliath-battle-and-whats-next">for shorting stocks</a> like GameStop, Citron Research's Andrew Left also shares long calls on stocks that are undervalued by Wall Street.
Citron shared its latest stock pick Tuesday, a company it believes is misunderstood by investors.
What Happened: Citron said Tuesday it is "pounding the table" on Rocket Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), a company best known for its mortgage and personal finance businesses. Citron said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44565671/rocket-acquires-mr-cooper-just-weeks-after-buying-redfin-brings-together-the-homeownership-experience-at-scale">recent acquisitions by the company</a> could also help the bullish case.
"This will be our call of the year!" Citron <a href="https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/1922295155253821907">tweeted</a>.
Citron said Rocket Companies is a "sleeping juggernaut of real estate" with vertical integration. The tweet said the company is leveraging AI and data to "build the Amazon of Housing."
Rocket is more than a play on mortgage refinances and doesn't need lower interest rates to win, the tweet said.
"Rocket is building the dominant real estate platform – where higher rates weed out competition and drive more share to scale players."
Citron said the U.S. mortgage market is still behind with less than 15% of mortgages originating online, despite 85% of home searches starting online.
AI could be Rocket's biggest advantage with the company building proprietary, in-house AI, according to Citron.
"Rocket Logic is quietly becoming the brain of the entire platform. This is Salesforce meets Zillow meets TurboTax, but for mortgages."
The tweet says Rocket is using AI in a boring sector, likely hurting its valuation.
"Rocket is quietly using AI to modernize the most broken part of consumer finance: housing."

What's Next: Citron said Rocket's recent acquisition of Mr. Cooper was underappreciated and creates a 1+1=3 scenario. The acquisition adds scale, reach, leads and margin expansion according to Citron Research.
The tweet lays out Rocket Companies&#8217; future valuation in the first refinance boom. The company gained EBITDA and scale from the acquisitions of Mr. Cooper and Redfin. Citron predicts Rocket Companies could have $4 billion of annual EBITDA in the future.
With a 15x multiple on EBITDA, an enterprise value of $60 billion is reached, which would make Rocket Companies stock worth around $33.33.
"Rocket Mortgage is on track to become the most dominant mortgage company in the world within three years. The U.S. residential housing market is the largest commerce vertical on the planet – bigger than autos, bigger than health care – and it's still largely analog, fragmented, and inefficient."
RKT Price Action: Rocket Companies stock is up 4.1% to $12.14 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $10.06 to $21.38. Rocket Companies stock is up 12.1% year-to-date in 2025, while shares remain down over 15% in the last year.

<h2>Delving into Rocket Companies's Background</h2>
Rocket Companies is a financial services company that was originally founded as Rock Financial in 1985 and is currently based in Detroit. Rocket Companies offers a wide array of services and products but is best known for its Rocket Mortgage business. The company's mortgage lending operations are split between its direct-to-consumer lending, which sees borrowers accessing the company's lending arm directly through either its mobile app or website, and its partner network where mortgage brokers and other firms use Rocket's origination process to offer loans to their customers. The company has rapidly gained market share in recent years and will also be the largest mortgage servicer in the US following its acquisition of the Mr. Cooper Group.
<h3>Rocket Companies: A Financial Overview</h3>
Market Capitalization Perspectives: The company's market capitalization falls below industry averages, signaling a relatively smaller size compared to peers. This positioning may be influenced by factors such as perceived growth potential or operational scale.
Revenue Growth: Rocket Companies displayed positive results in 3M. As of 31 December, 2024, the company achieved a solid revenue growth rate of approximately 161.83%. This indicates a notable increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company surpassed expectations with a growth rate higher than the average among peers in the Financials sector.
Net Margin: Rocket Companies's net margin is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in maintaining strong profitability. With a net margin of 1.97%, the company may face hurdles in effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Rocket Companies's ROE stands out, surpassing industry averages. With an impressive ROE of 5.0%, the company demonstrates effective use of equity capital and strong financial performance.
Return on Assets (ROA): Rocket Companies's ROA falls below industry averages, indicating challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 0.14%, the company may face hurdles in generating optimal returns from its assets.
Debt Management: Rocket Companies's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 7.6. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

What Analysts Are Saying About Rocket Companies Stock

Wall Street traded slightly lower by midday Friday, as investors adopted a wait-and-see stance ahead of a potential trade breakthrough, with high-stakes negotiations between U.S. officials—led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—and Chinese authorities set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">unfold over the weekend.</a>
President Donald Trump signaled that tariffs on Chinese goods could be slashed from the current 145% to 80%, though that figure remains significantly higher than pre-Liberation Day levels, prompting continued caution among market participants.
Equities gave back a portion of Thursday's gains as sentiment turned more defensive, while gold rebounded 1% to $3,330 per ounce, partially offsetting losses from the previous session.
Oil prices extended their rally, climbing further above $60 a barrel amid an improved global demand outlook, putting crude on track for its strongest weekly performance since late 2024. Natural gas followed suit, with Henry Hub futures rising 4.4%.
In fixed income, Treasury yields held steady, with the 10-year yield hovering around 4.37%.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) took a breather after Thursday's 6.4% surge, trading just above $102,500.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Spring offers an ideal opportunity to refresh financial health. Just as decluttering a home brings clarity and calm, conducting a financial spring cleaning can help gain control, reduce stress and set the stage for future success. Here are key<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44854372/gold-hits-new-record-highs-as-safe-haven-demand-climbs-2-ways-to-invest"> steps to consider:</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Review Budget and Spending</h1>
Begin by revisiting the household budget. Track expenses over recent months to reveal unnecessary or impulsive purchases and adjust the budget to align with current financial goals — such as saving for a vacation, paying down debt or building an emergency fund.&nbsp;
Credit Karma, an app from Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), can organize each transaction by category and track spending habits and identify leftover funds available for investing or saving.&nbsp;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tackle Debt Strategically</h1>
Addressing debt is an essential part of financial spring cleaning. Listing all debts, including interest rates and minimum payments, can help prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards. Paying off high-interest debt quickly helps save money and can enhance credit scores.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimize Savings</h1>
Evaluate savings accounts and emergency funds often, but at least once a year. Ideally, an emergency fund should cover three to six months of expenses or more. Automatic transfers to savings accounts can facilitate the steady growth of financial reserves.&nbsp;
Acorns offers<a href="https://www.acorns.com/"> an app </a>that can automatically transfer small amounts from a checking account into a savings account to build an emergency fund over time.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Check Subscriptions and Bills</h1>
Reviewing and canceling unused subscriptions, as well as negotiating bills such as cable, internet or insurance, can lead to significant monthly savings. The savings can then be redirected toward more important financial objectives.&nbsp;
Rocket Money, an app from Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), can help identify unused or duplicate subscriptions and even help to cancel them.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Plan for the Future</h1>
Review retirement accounts and investment portfolios to ensure that asset allocation matches risk tolerance and time horizons. For those who have yet to begin investing, spring presents an excellent opportunity to start.
Some online brokerages, like Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Webull Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BULL#NASDAQ">BULL</a>), offer retirement investment accounts and easy-to-learn apps.&nbsp;
