Reddit chatter on United Wholesale Mortgage could be big indication of what’s next

“Rocket did have its brief Reddit moment back in early March 2021 when it went up over 100% in three days,” said Sam G. Huszczo, a chartered financial analyst in Southfield. “It has since come back down to earth and is now trading at a loss year to date.”
It is hard to say how the situation will play out.
The recent stock price run-up for UWM could be a sign that investors are buying on a dip, shopping for a bargain, said Huszczo, the Southfield financial analyst.
Since its Jan. 22 open at $11.95 a share, UWM is down roughly 29%.
“It could just as likely be people buying what they consider to be an undervalued stock,” Huszczo said.
He added, “There are likely better targets out there for a short squeeze but it’s hard to tell. They benefit greatly from the element of surprise.”
