Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT) Sees 22% Price Surge Following Strong Financial Turnaround

Simply Wall St.
07 Mar

Rocket Companies announced significant improvements in its Q4 2024 and full-year financial results, reporting notable revenue and net income growth, which seem to align with its stock price increase of 22% over the last month. The company's EPS turned positive from previous losses, alongside a robust revenue increase, reflecting a strong financial turnaround. This positive performance has coincided with broader market concerns, including a 2% decline in the market driven by tech stocks' volatility amid tariff uncertainties. Unlike many tech stocks, which suffered due to tariff jitters and slowing growth fears, Rocket Companies appears to have benefited from its solid earnings announcement. However, this growth was against a backdrop of market turbulence, indicating that Rocket's strong financial results have resonated well with investors despite external pressures. The combination of healthy financials and the market's broader dynamics has likely supported Rocket's stock price movement.

NYSE:RKT Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Mar 2025

Over the past three years, Rocket Companies has achieved a total return of 25.74%, including share price changes and dividends. This performance has been shaped by several significant developments. Noteworthy is the recent earnings report in February 2025, showing impressive revenue and net income growth, which turned a prior loss into a positive net income of US$33.87 million. This financial turnaround likely bolstered investor confidence, contributing to the longer-term gains. Despite this strong growth, Rocket's earnings, based on a price-to-earnings ratio, remain relatively expensive compared to its peers.

In the last year, Rocket exceeded the US market's return of 14%, although it trailed behind its own diversified financial industry. The company has actively engaged in share buybacks, repurchasing over 32 million shares, which likely played a role in supporting its stock price over the three-year period. Additionally, key leadership changes, including appointing a Chief Technology Officer and a Chief Marketing Officer, have aligned with Rocket’s strategic pivot towards enhancing technology and marketing capabilities, potentially fueling long-term growth ambitions.
