Rocket Companies rises after Q4 profit beat and upbeat Q1 revenue outlook

Rocket Companies (RKT) is up 3.1% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement.

Analysis: The shares appear to be reacting to Rocket’s fourth-quarter results that topped expectations and to management’s stronger near-term outlook, which can signal improving mortgage demand and operating leverage. Investors also seemed to focus on the size of Rocket’s servicing portfolio as a recurring-cash-flow base that can support earnings through the rate cycle.

Details:

Rocket reported fourth-quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $68 million and adjusted earnings of $0.11 per share, ahead of typical Wall Street forecasts for the quarter.

Quarterly total revenue, net was $2.69 billion, while adjusted revenue was $2.44 billion, both above consensus expectations cited alongside the results.

Rocket guided to first-quarter 2026 adjusted revenue of $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion, which investors may be treating as a sign of continued origination momentum.

The company ended 2025 with a servicing portfolio of about $2.1 trillion in unpaid principal balance (about 9.5 million loans serviced), which management has highlighted as a meaningful source of recurring cash revenue.
