PMT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust demonstrated a robust 12% increase in total conventional volume, rising to $2.74 billion from $2.45 billion, reflecting strong demand for its mortgage-related assets. The company's projected run-rate return on equity (ROE) of 9.9% indicates an expected earnings increase to $0.38 per quarter, showcasing an upward trajectory from the previous $0.35 per quarter. Additionally, although total leverage increased to 7.8 times from 6.7 times in the first quarter, the increase in leverage excluding non-recourse debt suggests effective management of risk, rising modestly from 5.1 times to 5.6 times.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, primarily due to a reduction in book value reported in the second quarter, which reflects underlying financial weaknesses. Additionally, the company’s servicing UPB showed a decline to $221.6 billion from $224.6 billion, indicating a contraction in its operational scale. Furthermore, despite maintaining relatively stable MSRs at $3.74 billion, which is slightly decreased from $3.77 billion, the overall slow timeline to achieving a double-digit return on equity raises concerns about long-term profitability and growth potential.
