Upstart Q2 Loan Originations Hit Record $4.2B, Stock Surges 12%
UPST sits 49% above its 52-week low of $23.965.
Summary
Upstart's Q2 earnings beat on both top and bottom lines, but the real story is record loan originations of $4.2 billion, up 50% year-over-year and 23% sequentially. Contribution profit hit a record $193 million with margin expanding to 55%, driven by a higher-margin personal loan mix and lower acquisition costs. The company also disclosed $5 billion in new committed funding capacity and conditional OCC approval for a banking charter, with Upstart Bank expected in early 2027. Shares jumped nearly 12% in premarket trading, adding to the post-earnings momentum. This follows the initial Q2 release yesterday, but today's details on origination growth, funding expansion, and the banking charter provide fresh catalysts for the rally.
