Rocket Companies, Inc. (RKT) Securities Class Action:

Since going public in August 2020, Rocket and senior management have repeatedly emphasized record loan originations and gain-on-sale margins and have downplayed competitive threats to the companys business.

According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose (1) Rocket faced increasing competition that resulted in contracting gain-on-sale margins, (2) Rocket was engaged in a price war with its primary competitors in the wholesale market, further compressing margins, and (3) these adverse trends were accelerating such that Rockets gain-on-sale margins were on track to plummet at least 140 basis points for the first six months of 2021.

Investors began to learn the truth, according to the complaint, on May 5, 2021 when Rocket and senior management announced the companys financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021. Among other things, defendants slashed gain-on-sale margin guidance for Q2 2021 to 2.65 2.95% and blamed pressure on loan pricing and a product mix shift to Rockets lower margin Partner Network segment.

This news sent the price of Rocket shares crashing lower. Two days before these revelations, on March 29, 2021, Rockets founder, former CEO and Chairman (Daniel Gilbert) sold 20.2 million Rocket shares for gross proceeds of nearly $500 million.

Were focused on investors losses and proving defendants knew Rockets business was increasingly pressured by competitive and interest rate factors when they downplayed these matters, said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
