Better Home & Finance Holding Company (BETR) Q3 Revenue Misses Guidance; EBITDA Loss Wider

Better Home & Finance reported Q3 2026 loan volume of $1.395B, meeting guidance, but net revenue of $45.1M missed the $49.0M–$52.0M target. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $24.8M–$25.8M, wider than the $15.0M–$18.0M guidance, partly due to proxy-related costs of ~$8.0M.
