美國有一家企業(yè)名為“火箭公司(Rocket Companies)”,該企業(yè)由億萬富翁企業(yè)家丹·吉爾伯特創(chuàng)立,現(xiàn)為美國最大的抵押貸款機(jī)構(gòu),旗下有以零售抵押貸款為主業(yè)務(wù)的Quicken Loans以及以房屋貸款為主業(yè)務(wù)的Rocket Mortgage兩家子公司。除了擔(dān)任火箭公司的董事長一職外,吉爾伯特也是NBA克利夫蘭騎士隊的大股東。
當(dāng)?shù)貢r間8月6日,繼火箭公司在7月向紐交所提交了IPO申請后,終于迎來了屬于自己的首日交易,截至8月6日盤中,該股最大增幅超逾26%,速度堪比“火箭”。
然而這支以“RKT”為交易代碼的“火箭”在發(fā)射時的前幾秒也一度顛簸不堪。早前,火箭公司原計劃的IPO 的招股范圍在20 至22 美元/股左右,但該公司在本周三最終宣布的定價只有每股18美元。更令人意想不到的是,在交易開始的最初幾個小時內(nèi),該股股價甚至跌到了17.5美元/股。
隨后,該股開始重新緩慢上漲,午后突然飆升至22.76美元,最后小幅回落,整體收漲近20%,成功募資18億美元。
2015年,子公司Qicken Loans推出了自己的在線抵押貸款平臺,尋找到了一種以B2C模式為基礎(chǔ)的新型貸款方式。憑借該項業(yè)務(wù),Qicken Loans在近幾年完成了飛速成長。即便是在疫情之下,火箭公司的業(yè)績也依然保持著持續(xù)增長的趨勢。據(jù)該公司2020年Q2財報,第二季度,火箭公司共計發(fā)放了723億美元貸款,較第一季度增長了40%,達(dá)到了去年同期的兩倍有余。
回看去年一整年,火箭公司的總營收達(dá)到了51億美元,凈收入超逾8.92億美元。火箭公司在去年披露的財報中預(yù)測,這一數(shù)字在2020年至少會增長四倍。
不過,在今年7月提交的IPO申請文件中,火箭公司并不再如此信心滿滿,而是警告稱,疫情有可能會打亂自己的腳步。“目前,房屋銷售已經(jīng)開始放緩,未來的增長也不確定,”該公司在文件中寫道,“如果疫情遲遲不散,經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)低迷、失業(yè)率又居高不下的話,房地產(chǎn)交易量勢必會繼續(xù)下降。任何程度的經(jīng)濟(jì)放緩都可能大大削弱消費者的抵押調(diào)款需求。”(財富中文網(wǎng))

Shares of Rocket Companies, the parent of Quicken Loans and Rocket Mortgage, rose as much as 26% Thursday afternoon on its first day of stock market trading. The company was founded by Dan Gilbert, a billionaire entrepreneur who remains Rocket Companies' chairman and is also the majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
The stock's debut, however, was more rocky than rocket: After Rocket Companies priced its initial public offering at $18 a share Wednesday—below the expected range of $20 to $22 a share—the fintech conglomerate's stock initially sank as low as $17.50 when it began trading late in the morning.
After rising slowly after that, Rocket Companies stock, trading under the ticker symbol "RKT" on the NYSE, surged as high as $22.76 a share in the mid-afternoon, only to quickly give back some of those gains, closing up nearly 20%. The IPO raised $1.8 billion for the Detroit-based company whose subsidiary Quicken Loans is now the largest mortgage lender in the U.S.
In 2015, Quicken Loans launched Rocket Mortgage, an online mortgage application platform that has helped fuel the company's growth, particularly in direct-to-consumer loans. Even as the economy has suffered during the coronavirus pandemic, Rocket Companies has continued to grow, originating $72.3 billion in loans in the second quarter of 2020, up 40% from the first three months of the year, and more than double the amount during that period in 2019.
In 2019, Rocket Companies made more than $5.1 billion in revenues, a figure the firm expects to at least quadruple in 2020, according to its financial disclosures. Last year, the company had more than $892 million in net income.
In its IPO documents, the company warned that the COVID-19 crisis could dampen that trajectory. "Home sales have slowed, and future growth is uncertain," the company wrote in its disclosures. "If the COVID-19 pandemic leads to a prolonged economic downturn with sustained high unemployment rates, we anticipate that real estate transactions will continue to decrease. Any such slowdown may materially decrease the number and volume of mortgages we originate."
