Shane put out a price target of $15 per share of RKT stock. While that’s a drop from the analyst’s previous price prediction of $17.50 per share for the stock, it’s still above yesterday’s close. In fact, it represents a potential 15.6% upside for the stock.

The JPMorgan analyst also upgraded RKT stock alongside the new price prediction. Actually, it was a double upgrade with Shane placing a new outperform rating on the company. The previous rating from the analyst was underperform.
