# Weekly Recap | Upstart -2.31%, consensus target above spot

## The Week

Upstart lost 2.31% this week to close at $25, underperforming the S&P 500, which slipped 0.08%. The stock had a front-loaded week: it hit an intraday high of $26.5 on Monday (14 Sept) and closed at $26.1, then drifted lower over the next four sessions to finish Friday (18 Sept) at $25. There was no major company-specific catalyst. News flow was thin, with one commentary piece asking whether the AI fintech platform could grow 10x from current levels and a separate investor-contact notice from a law firm.

## Analyst Ratings

Fifteen brokers cover Upstart: 6 rate it buy, 1 overweight, 7 hold, and 1 underweight or sell. The consensus rating is buy, with a consensus target of $40, roughly 60% above the latest price. Targets span a wide range from $20 to $61, reflecting a meaningful split among analysts. Within consumer finance, Upstart ranks 8th out of 42 rated names.

## The Week Ahead

The US macro calendar is busy next week: the Richmond Fed composite index lands on Tuesday (22 Sept), followed by EIA crude and Cushing inventory data on Wednesday (23 Sept). Thursday (24 Sept) brings initial jobless claims, the current account balance, new home sales and natural gas inventory figures. Consumer finance is sensitive to rate expectations, so valuation moves around these releases may offer the next signal.
