loanDepot, Inc. surged 18.44% in after-hours trading following remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump, which spurred broader gains in real estate and mortgage technology stocks. The rally occurred amid premarket activity where LoanDepot, Rocket Companies, and Opendoor Technologies all rose sharply after Trump endorsed policies favoring the housing sector. While a separate SEC filing disclosed insider sales at LoanDepot, the immediate price action aligned with market reactions to Trump's comments, which traders interpreted as supportive for the industry. The after-hours jump reflected renewed investor optimism about regulatory or market conditions potentially benefiting mortgage lenders and real estate platforms.
