On August 5, 2026, after the close of trading, UWM Holdings issued a press release titled “UWM Holdings Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results” and reported a “net loss of $451.9 million and adjusted EBITDA of $185.9 million,” “a $2.05 billion equity capital investment by Oaktree Capital Management and SFS Group Capital, LLC, a newly formed investment vehicle wholly owned by the Ishbia family,” and that “the Company’s Board of Directors determined to suspend its quarterly dividend.”

During the subsequent earnings call, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) stated that “we were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction.” The CEO further stated that “[w]e don’t traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]” but “when you’re going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book . . . it created a little more risk. So [] we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed] . . . and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss.”

Following this news, the price of UWM Holdings stock declined from a closing price on August 5, 2026 of $1.84 per share to close at $1.20 per share on August 6, 2026, a decline of $0.64 per share, or by 34.78%, on heavier than average volume.
