The sharp decline in origination volumes and production segment losses signal continued pressure from higher mortgage rates. Watch for Q4 2026 results to show the impact of the $160M annual expense reduction plan and the $490M MSR sale proceeds deployed toward debt reduction and share repurchases. The Cenlar subservicing acquisition closing in early 2027 is a key catalyst for servicing fee income growth.
