What Happened?
On August 6, 2026, the UWM Holdings reported a hedge established around its failed Two Harbors acquisition produced a $603.2 million derivatives loss and contributed to a $451.9 million second-quarter net loss. Total equity also fell –43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges. “We were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction,” the CEO Mathew Ishbia said. Ishbia further stated “[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.”
On this news, shares of UWM Holdings fell $0.64 or 34.78% to close at $1.20 on August 6, 2026.
