Why Upstart Stock Soared 96% in May

Why Upstart Stock Soared 96% in May

Shares of Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), the AI-based lending platform, soared last month after the company benefited from a better-than-expected earnings report, a deal with Castelake to sell $4 billion in loans, and what appeared to be an extended short squeeze. Upstart's first round of gains came on May 10, when the stock jumped 35% after the company reported first-quarter earnings. Upstart, which helps screen borrowers for banks and other lenders, is still struggling in the current macroeconomic environment.
