PMT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust's positive outlook is supported by a significant increase in its correspondent production retention, projected to rise from 18% in 2Q24 to approximately 30-50% in 3Q24, which reflects enhanced operational efficiency. The company has also seen a rise in estimated quarterly run-rate returns from its investment strategies, increasing to $0.37 from $0.33, largely due to declining short-term rates that are expected to lower financing costs. Additionally, correspondent acquisition volume soared to $22.5 billion in the latest quarter, bolstering the company’s revenue potential, while a stable dividend and favorable tax benefits further reinforce confidence in its financial health.
Bears say
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust's recent financial performance raises concerns as it reported a decline in book value from $15.89 to $15.85 per share, indicating instability in the company's underlying assets. The estimated quarterly run-rate return from its investment strategies also decreased from $0.35 to $0.33, primarily due to lower expected asset yields in interest-rate-sensitive strategies. Furthermore, the downward revision of EPS estimates for 2024 and 2025 highlights a trend of lower net interest income alongside rising expense assumptions, suggesting potential challenges in sustaining profitability.
