Home Point Capital Inc. reported that its annual Total Revenue rose from $167.36 million in 2019 to over $1.32 billion in 2020, and that its Net Loss of $29.21 million in 2019 turned into a Net Income of $607 million in 2020.

The plaintiff alleges on behalf of purchasers of Home Point Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: HMPT) common shares , that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. More specifically, the plaintiff claims that Offering Documents that were filed in connection with the company's IPO made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Home Point's aggressive expansion of its broker partners would dramatically increase the Company's expenses, that the mortgage industry was anticipating industry-wide decreased gain-on-sale margins as a result of rising interest rates in 2021 and Home Point would be subject to the same competitive pressures, that accordingly, the Company had overstated its business and financial prospects, and that as a result, the Offering Documents were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.

Those who purchased shares of Home Point Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: HMPT) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
