Company Overview

Born in Detroit during the 1980s and evolving into a tech-driven financial powerhouse, Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT) is a fintech company that provides digital mortgage lending, real estate services, and personal finance solutions through its technology platform.

Sales Growth

From lending activities to service fees, most banks build their revenue model around two income sources. Interest rate spreads between loans and deposits create the first stream, with the second coming from charges on everything from basic bank accounts to complex investment banking transactions. Rocket Companies’s demand was weak over the last five years as its revenue fell at a 15.9% annual rate. This wasn’t a great result, but there are still things to like about Rocket Companies.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Rocket Companies’s annualized revenue growth of 37.3% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated.

This quarter, Rocket Companies reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 127%, and its $2.69 billion of revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates by 21.7%. Company management is currently guiding for a 108% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter.

Microsoft, Alphabet, Coca-Cola, Monster Beverage—all began as under-the-radar growth stories riding a massive trend. We’ve identified the next one: a profitable AI semiconductor play Wall Street is still overlooking.
