The Rocket was listed on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 6 at $18 a share. The price increased significantly, and it closed on Thursday afternoon at $21.60 just before the announcement of its buyback program.
The Rocket’s Chief Financial Officer Julie Booth said that the buyback option gives us the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities if we believe the market is undervaluing our business and the company is committed to giving more long-term value to our shareholders by using our substantial cash generation.
Rocket’s stock does not pay a dividend to its shareholders and buyback is a reward for the shareholders who hang longer onto shares.
