Thinking About Buying Stock In Rocket Companies, Nio, Xpeng Or Li Auto?

One of the most common questions traders have about stocks is "Why Is It Moving?"

That's why Benzinga created the Why Is It Moving, or WIIM, feature in Benzinga Pro. WIIMs are a one-sentence description as to why that stock is moving.

Here's why shares of Rocket Companies, Nio, Xpeng and Li Auto are moving.

Rocket Companies Inc RKT shares traded higher by 11% Monday on continued strength after the company reported strong fourth-quarter earnings last Thursday and declared a special dividend. The mortgage market environment and retail investor interest have also helped lift the stock.
