About market, TAPE closed slightly lower after 4 straight days of gain, this was a normal digestion of tremendous gains in last 5 trading sessions. Internals were slightly negative and mother of all indicator VIX was actually lower. No real issue with Fed fighting inflation with 50 basis point of increase, news is out and we have reacted to it.

Hi Saleem,

Sold UPST @ 128.41 after the analyst downgrade today that amplified some of my same fears:

Wedbush downgrades Upstart to Underperform, lowers price target to $75
As previously reported, Wedbush analyst David Chiaverini downgraded Upstart to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $75, down from $110, based on weakening delinquency trends on recent 2021 vintage securitizations that appear to be deteriorating at a faster pace than its 2018, 2019, and 2020 vintages. The company has yet to operate through a true recession which means its underwriting model has yet to be battle-tested, Chiaverini notes. The analyst fears that weakening delinquency trends combined with macro- and geopolitical risks could lead to waning appetite from Upstart's credit buyers and the securitization market. The biggest risk to Upstart, in his view, is its reliance on third-party funding, and this risk tends to become exacerbated during recessions and market turmoil, the beginnings of which could be in process of unfolding.

Hi Stocktrader,

Thanks for your rationale for selling UPST as supported by Analyst, nice research done for weakness.

Good luck with next pick!
