The shelf is now live — watch for a prospectus supplement (424B5) that would signal an actual takedown. Given the $60M quarterly cash burn and $277M remaining cash, a capital raise within 3-6 months is highly probable. Any announced offering below $1.50/share would be deeply dilutive given the current ~$2.00 stock price.

Executive Summary
The SEC declared effective loanDepot's S-3 shelf registration (File No. 333-295652) on May 15, 2026, covering up to $250M in securities. This follows the company's Q1 2026 net loss of $55M on $286M revenue and a $60M cash burn, with the shelf representing ~59% of the current $422M market cap. The effectiveness removes the final regulatory barrier for loanDepot to raise capital, creating immediate dilution overhang.
