Upstart Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: UPST) dropped 6.07% to $23.20 from the last trade closing price of $24.70 as the firm declared that its third quarter business and financial results for fiscal year 2022 would be posted after the market close on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. At 1:30 p.m. PT / 4:30 p.m. ET, Upstart will hold a conference call and live webcast. The third quarter 2022 results press release and investor presentation will be posted on Upstart’s investor relations website prior to the conference call.
On the other side, an AI-powered loan platform had its stock rise in last session despite seemingly no company-specific news. Instead, some investors may be viewing the company’s recent share price reductions as a potential purchasing opportunity.
Upstart’s stock has plummeted 73% in the last six months as investors have been concerned about the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate rises in an attempt to curb inflation. Rising interest rates have hurt on the stock market in general, but they are particularly detrimental to Upstart since they force customers to spend less money and take out fewer loans.
However, it appears that some investors now believe that Upstart’s massive sell-off over the last six months has created an appealing chance to purchase some of the company’s shares.
