    June 17, 2026, 4:35 PM EDT. Rocket Companies (RKT) shares fell 6.0% to $13.09 following the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%, with inflation remaining above the 2% target. Rate-sensitive mortgage lenders like Rocket face pressure as higher borrowing costs curb home buying and refinancing. Analyst BTIG downgraded Rocket to Neutral from Buy, noting valuation now reflects platform premium. Despite strong Q1 results-$2.94 billion revenue and $297 million net income-investors remain cautious.
