The company said historically low interest rates have generated a boom in mortgage refinance originations this year.
As of June 30, Rocket said an estimated 98,000 customers and 5.1% of serviced loans were on forbearance plans.
Rocket’s IPO underwriters include Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Credit Suisse.
Benzinga’s Take: The timing for the Rocket IPO could not be better given March interest rate cuts will likely generate massive profits for Quicken in the second quarter. In coming quarters, IPO investors will need to determine what the new normal will be for Rocket’s lending business given the ongoing economic difficulties and a longer-term environment of near-zero interest rates.
