Bullish on Rocket Companies citing a 40% jump in mortgage refinance demand after Trump's $200B bond-buying spree pushed rates below 6%.

RKT — LONG The author holds 60,000 RKT shares worth $1.4M and points to a 40% weekly jump in mortgage refinance demand after Trump's $200B bond-buying spree briefly pushed 30-year mortgage rates below 6%. Lower rates drive refinance volume, which directly benefits Rocket's mortgage origination business. Refinance demand was 128% higher year-over-year, supporting the thesis. Main risk is that the rate decline may be temporary and tied to a policy that could reverse.
