Last chance to buy $UPST below 30 this week or will sideways trend continue for a bit longer? Thoughts? Pressure is building slowly and then all at once โฆ
While official data shows 1.453M May26 origination volume, the real number is closer to ~1.519M. This assumes that last May weekend would have been counted towards May originations with 58.2M/day for another 1.1 days (weekend days count with 0.55 each). We are on track ๐ $UPST
Upstart $UPST appears to have conducted a small reorg this morning, and it was not financially material enough to prompt an 8-K filing.
You never want to see people lose their jobs, but there is something to be said about the strategic re-allocation of resources. New SLT Andrea and Paul are now running the ship.
This is a new chapter for Upstart. In my opinion, things are going to move a lot faster and a lot smarter from here. That will require change - and it's better to do that now when the market hates absolutely everything about this company.
People will probably unfairly give Paul all the credit and label Dave as the problem in a few years time when we are on the other side of this. But really what we've been watching IMO is the 'laying of the groundwork' for a true fintech beast and potential monopoly.

This week I havenโt seen a single bearish trade by institutions. All trades I tracked where net positive. Seems that Whales are taking a seat and finalizing their positioning. For yesterdayโs Friday I couldnโt see any institutional trade. drop appeared to be mainly retail $UPST
$UPST while stock is dropping 3%, institutions are positioning for next level up. Todayโs trades includes heavy interest in Jun18 35 calls, Sep18 45 calls, and Jul17 32.50 calls with each ~2K contracts traded today.
@teslam80 Technically the price hasnโt fallen any further since initial drop to ~27 after Q1 earnings (after hours). Last few days has been consolidation period & institutions seems to prepare for next level up (but things can change fast of course). We are still in a wait and see phase.

@HenryInvests@carl_flow44 I think funding is not an issue at all but finding the right borrower in the current environment is (without spending too much on marketing). Letโs see if we will hear more during the earnings call tomorrow.
