On May 5, 2021, Rocket issued a press release announcing its first quarter 2021 results and second quarter 2021 outlook.  Rocket reported that it was on track to achieve closed loan volume within a range of only $82.5 billion and $87.5 billion and gain on sale margins within a range of only 2.65% to 2.95% for the second quarter of 2021.  At the mid-point, this gain on sale margin estimate equated to a 239 basis point decline year-over-year and a 94 basis point decline sequentially, which represented the Company's lowest quarterly gain on sale margin in two years.  Discussing the results on a conference call, Rocket's Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Julie R. Booth revealed that the sharp decline in quarterly gain on sale margin was being caused by three factors: (i) pressure on loan pricing; (ii) a product mix shift to Rocket's lower margin Partner Network segment; and (iii) a compression in price spreads between the primary and secondary mortgage markets.  Booth also admitted that certain of these trends began "at the end of Q1"—i.e., shortly before the sale of nearly $500 million worth of Rocket stock by Company insiders. 

On this news, Rocket's stock price fell $3.79 per share, or 16.62%, to close at $19.01 per share on May 6, 2021.
