Summary

Upstart's likely "flawed" funding model was badly exposed in 2022 as institutional investors pulled their funding massively in response to the Fed's rapid rate hikes.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell highlighted that the FOMC could slow its hiking cadence, with investors expecting a 25 bps increase at the FOMC's next meeting in early 2023.
Does it mean that Upstart is safe now? Not at all. Investors' focus is likely shifting to whether its business model could tide through a deeper recession.
But, if its November lows could hold after losing nearly 90% YTD, Upstart's worst days could be over.
