PennyMac Financial Services stock plunges 33% after earnings miss hits servicing income

PennyMac Financial Services stock plunges 33% after earnings miss hits servicing income

PennyMac Financial shares plunged 33% to $100.39 Friday after fourth-quarter results showed servicing pretax income fell 70% to $37.3 million. Lower mortgage rates triggered faster prepayments, eroding servicing profits. Net income for the quarter was $106.8 million, or $1.97 per share, missing analyst forecasts. Piper Sandler cut its price target on the stock to $137.

Mortgage rates today: Rocket stock wobbles as refi demand jumps

Mortgage rates today: Rocket stock wobbles as refi demand jumps

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 06:32 EST — Premarket Rocket Companies shares were down about 0.4% in premarket trading on Thursday, lagging UWM Holdings and PennyMac Financial, as investors weighed a sharp pickup in mortgage demand against fresh volatility in U.S. rates markets. LoanDepot slipped and homebuilder ETFs also edged lower. The moves matter because mortgage stocks tend to follow rate expectations more than broad equity indexes. A small drop in mortgage rates can pull sidelined borrowers back into refinancing and home-shopping, lifting volume for lenders whose revenue depends on originations. But the trade has been jumpy. Mortgage rates can

Mortgage rates today: Rocket stock slips as 30-year fixed moves back above 6%

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:43 EST — Premarket Rocket Companies shares slipped roughly 1.9% to $22.76 in early trading on Wednesday, as mortgage stocks lost momentum and investors monitored borrowing costs. UWM Holdings edged up 0.7%, while loanDepot dropped around 4.6%. Mortgage insurers MGIC Investment and Radian Group each declined about 7%. The reason this matters now is straightforward: rates hover in a tight range that still determines if borrowers refinance, shop around, or hold off. For lenders, just a few tenths of a percentage point can quickly impact application volume and gain-on-sale margins. Mortgage News Daily’s latest index

UWM Holdings stock (UWMC) jumps 14% on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond order — what’s next

UWM Holdings stock (UWMC) jumps 14% on Trump’s $200 billion mortgage-bond order — what’s next

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 08:04 EST — Market closed. Shares of UWM Holdings Corp (UWMC) surged 13.7% on Friday, pushing higher after President Donald Trump announced a $200 billion buy of mortgage bonds. The stock closed at $5.36. (Reuters) This shift is significant. A slight dip in mortgage rates can trigger refinancing and lure buyers back, boosting loan volume for originators. UWM’s results typically reflect this rate-sensitive demand, often with sudden changes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explained the bond purchases aim to counterbalance the Federal Reserve’s monthly runoff of mortgage-backed securities, or MBS — packages of home loans sold

Opendoor stock jumps as Trump mortgage-bond push jolts housing-linked names

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 07:16 EST — Market closed Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.O) shares jumped 13.2% on Friday, finishing at $7.29 after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the start of $200 billion in mortgage-bond purchases, a move that sparked a broad bid in mortgage and housing-related stocks. Rocket Companies gained 9.6% and LoanDepot climbed 19.3%, while the Philadelphia Housing index rose 5.7% to its highest since October. (Reuters) The rally matters because Opendoor’s business rises and falls with U.S. housing turnover, and investors are trading it as a lever on mortgage rates. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Reuters the goal

Mortgage rates today: Trump’s $200B bond order lifts Rocket Companies stock, loanDepot premarket

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 06:40 EST — Premarket U.S. mortgage-linked stocks jumped in premarket trading on Friday after President Donald Trump ordered a $200 billion purchase of mortgage bonds, a move aimed at lowering mortgage rates today and improving housing affordability. The policy push lands at a sensitive moment for the housing market. Mortgage rates have eased from last year’s highs, but not enough to unlock demand in a market where prices have stayed elevated and inventories remain tight. Freddie Mac’s latest weekly survey put the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 6.16% for the week ended Jan. 8,
