Linkhome Holdings Inc. NASDAQ:LHAI shares jumped over 100% Wednesday as the small Nasdaq-listed real estate and fintech firm closed the Mortgage One Group deal and said the acquisition is now part of a new GPU financing business. The move sent trading volume soaring, well above the company’s total shares.
LHAI shares last traded at $1.44, a gain of $0.78, or 118.2%, from Tuesday’s close. The stock started the day at $1.80, touched $1.97 at its high, and dropped to $0.7017 at the low. Trading volume was about 229.3 million shares, market data showed. Google Finance put the stock’s 30-day average at just 98,460 shares, so Wednesday’s volume was roughly 2,329 times normal.

Trading volume is telling the main story here, not the price action. Linkhome showed 16.23 million common shares outstanding as of May 13. On Wednesday, shares traded roughly 14.1 times that number, pointing to intense churning in this micro-cap rather than just new hands holding the stock.
Linkhome said at 8 a.m. ET it finished the full buyout of Mortgage One Group. Mortgage One brings about $28 million in warehouse lending capacity, 39 staffers and licenses to lend mortgages in 18 states. Linkhome also said it’s rolling out a GPU server and AI computing asset financing business.
Bill Qin, CEO of Linkhome, said AI infrastructure is turning into one of the fastest-growing asset classes in tech. The company is looking to lower barriers to GPU ownership, Qin said.
The market moved more than the value of the Linkhome deal terms. On May 8, Linkhome agreed to issue 300,000 restricted common shares at closing and set a cash earnout of as much as $750,000, depending on loan volume over two years. It will also pay sellers $250,000 for consulting during the transition.
| Deal and stock math | Amount |
|---|---|
| Linkhome shares outstanding as of May 13 | 16.23 mln |
| Shares Linkhome will give sellers at close | 300,000 shares |
| 300,000 shares worth at $1.44 | about $432,000 |
| Top cash earnout | $750,000 |
| Consulting pay for transition | $250,000 |
| Market cap gain from $0.78 move | about $12.7 mln |
The gap is an issue for investors. The stock now prices above the mortgage lender’s stated equity offer. Linkhome traded at $1.44, lifting its market cap to about $23.4 million from $10.7 million at Tuesday’s $0.66 close, using the latest share count from its amended quarterly filing.
Linkhome’s business remains modest. First-quarter revenue came in at $4.9 million, off 14.1% from last year. The company posted a net loss of $134,670 after reporting net income of $80,629 during the same period a year ago. Gross margin slipped to 3.79% from 4.59%.
Cash Offer property deals still made up almost all the company’s first-quarter revenue. That business was 98.48% of revenue in the quarter, while revenue from real estate services dropped 67.6% to $74,470.
| Latest reported quarter | Q1 2026 | Q1 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net revenue | $4.91 mln | $5.71 mln | -14.1% |
| Gross profit | $186,028 | $261,917 | -29.0% |
| Gross margin | 3.79% | 4.59% | -0.80 pct point |
| Net income/loss | -$134,670 | $80,629 | -$215,299 |
| Cash Offer transactions | 5 | 6 | -1 |
Investors already have an upcoming date to watch for share supply. Linkhome said in January its big shareholders and management, including the CEO, signed lock-up deals on 8.07 million shares, running through July 24, 2026, with some exceptions. That amounts to around half the shares outstanding as of May 13.
U.S. stocks traded during normal hours Wednesday, with markets open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. The Independence Day holiday is scheduled for Friday, July 3; markets will not close on July 1. Nasdaq
