Top 10 Financial Stocks For 2023: Upstart Holdings, Inc.(UPST)

Upstart Holdings, Inc. operates a cloud- based artificial intelligence (AI) lending platform. The company's platform aggregates consumer demand for loans and connects it to its network of the company's AI- enabled bank partners. Its platform connects consumers, banks, and institutional investors through a shared AI lending platform. Upstart Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in 2012 and is headquartered in San Mateo, California.


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Larry Ramer]

    For example, Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST), whose AI platform focuses on enabling higher performing bank loans, has done quite well, generating a large amount of revenue and growing rapidly. Since the scope of Stem’s Athena is also narrow, I expect it to also continue growing rapidly.

  • [By Thomas Niel]

    Admittedly, SPRT stock has seen a considerable run-up due to the BTC price rebound. Even so, with its sky-high short interest (62.5% of float), popularity among traders, and the comeback potential of its soon-to-be underlying business?  Consider this one of the “meme stocks” with the most potential.

    Up nearly 76% in a month, why do I like Upstart stock? Its off the charts run-up may make it look too chancy to dive into right now. But looking at its details, there’s merit to buying in now. Even as it appears to be topping out at around $201 per share. The AI-based lending platform has really started to see its operations take off this year.

  • [By Jennifer Saibil (TMFanibird)]

    But things are not quite that simple, and investors should focus on the long-term outlook when evaluating a stock. That’s why I’m going with Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB), Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS), and Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST) as hot stocks to buy this month. All three posted incredible growth in the second quarter, and they all have enormous upside.

  • [By Nicholas Rossolillo (TMFnrossolillo)]

    Much of the financial index’s gain can be attributed to traditional banks and financial institutions recovering from the effects of the pandemic in 2020. But for Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST), SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), and SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ:SIVB), the story isn’t about recovery. It’s about all-out growth as consumers demand a new type of financial service business built for the digital age. Here’s why I’ve been buying (or planning to buy) more of all three this summer.
