Here is how RKT stock stacks up against the S&P 500 over the streak and the periods around it:
| Return Period | RKT | S&P 500 |
|---|---|---|
| 1D | -4.9% | -1.2% |
| 5D (Current Streak) | -14.2% | -1.7% |
| 1M (21D) | -5.1% | 0.6% |
| 3M (63D) | -16.5% | 3.8% |
| YTD 2026 | -34.0% | 8.2% |
| 2025 | 81.7% | 16.4% |
| 2024 | -22.2% | 23.3% |
| 2023 | 106.9% | 24.2% |
The selling reflects a business priced for perfection.
The market appears to be weighing the company’s fundamentals. Revenue over the last twelve months grew 71.4%, far outpacing the S&P 500 median of 7.7%. Yet RKT trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 151.0, a steep premium to the S&P 500 median of 24.0.
This move is primarily the stock’s own story. Over the same 5 trading days, the S&P 500 returned -1.7%. While streaks are not rare, with 87 S&P 500 stocks currently on losing streaks of 3 days or more, the magnitude of this one stands out.
A streak is a signal, not an instruction.
A persistent price move is simply information. It tells you where market momentum and attention are currently focused. It does not, by itself, tell you to buy or sell.
The disciplined response is to check the price against the business. The data shows a high-growth company with a very high valuation. A streak like this is an opportunity to decide for yourself if that trade-off still makes sense.
A slide like this always poses the same follow-up: which marked-down stocks are actually worth buying? Our Buy the Dip screen runs that test every day, flagging beaten-down names whose fundamentals still hold up.
Those watching the group rather than this one name have another route: a financials ETF like XLF owns the whole group. It is still a concentrated bet on that one theme, though, which is exactly the gap the portfolio below closes.
Falling Prices Test Conviction. Rules Do Not Flinch
A losing streak forces a choice on every holder: sell into weakness, average down, or freeze. All three are emotional answers to what should be an analytical question, and emotions priced at market open are expensive.
The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio takes the emotion out: about 30 quality businesses screened for the fundamentals that survive bad stretches are held and rebalanced by rules. It has a track record of outpacing a benchmark that combines all major indices – the S&P 500, S&P Mid-cap, and Russell 2000. Let the rules do the flinching for you.
