The sharp EPS miss on servicing volatility may pressure the stock in the near term, but strong production momentum and capital returns (buyback, dividend) provide a floor. Monitor interest rate trajectory and MSR hedging effectiveness; the Cenlar acquisition closing in H2 2026 could be a catalyst if it enhances servicing efficiency.
