  • Even if it’s down from loanDepot’s revenue of $1.37 billion from the same period of the year prior.

Anthony Hsieh, founder and CEO of loanDepot, said the following in the earnings report boosting LDI stock today.

‘The third quarter proved to be another strong milestone in market share growth, increasing to 3.5% from 2.4% during the same quarter last year. Our growing brand, proprietary mello tech stack, diversified channel strategy–which is the industry’s only at-scale model of this type–and the hard work and enthusiasm of our talented employees delivered higher revenues, higher earnings, and higher earnings per share.”
