What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The consensus may underestimate Rocket's ability to capitalize on rising interest rates, which could drive higher refinancing activity.

Supporting Evidence

The company's recent operational improvements may not be fully reflected in current estimates.

Options pricing suggests a larger move than historical averages, indicating potential for a surprise.

Strong customer service initiatives could lead to increased market share.

Key Risk
