Upstart Sees Signs of Life, But Issues Still Remain


Listen Later

Upstart Holdings (Nasdaq: UPST) has been one of the investing world's most volatile stocks. Since peaking at $400 per share in late 2021, its stock has fallen more than 90% and sits at just $35 today.

Many believe this roller coaster ride has followed the American macroeconomy. The Zero Interest Rate policy directly following COVID was replaced by the fastest rise in interest rates the United States had ever seen in 2022.

Yet Upstart might be seeing signs of life. It issued optimistic revenue guidance for the upcoming Q3 and Q4. Not coincidently, this aligns with the Fed suggesting that a rate cut is most definitely on the table.

But investors aren't out of the woods just yet. In today's episode, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson describes the fundamental challenges Upstart still faces and why it doesn't have the most shareholder-friendly leadership team.
