What drove it
- Net revenues increased primarily because of higher net interest income from portfolios and higher net deferred guaranty fee income.
- Other losses decreased by $133 million compared with 1Q 2026, driven by a shift from investment losses to investment gains, partially offset by a shift from fair value gains to fair value losses.
- Non-interest expense decreased to $2.1 billion from $2.2 billion in 1Q 2026, driven primarily by a shift from other expense to other income in the Multifamily segment, partially offset by higher administrative expenses.

Concerns
- Provision for credit losses increased to $485 million from $277 million in 1Q 2026.

- Fair value gains (losses), net shifted to $(76) million from $121 million in 1Q 2026.
- Multifamily acquisition volume declined to $14.2 billion from $17.1 billion in 1Q 2026.
