PennyMac Financial at Barclays conference: tech gains offset rate pressure
PennyMac Financial (PFSI) reported at the Barclays conference that higher mortgage rates are slowing originations but technology gains are cutting costs. CEO David Spector expects long-term improvements from servicing and automation, despite near-term challenges. The stock is near its 52-week low, down 47% YTD, but InvestingPro data suggests it is undervalued. Q3 operating ROE is forecasted in the mid-to-high single digits, with a mid-teens target by year-end 2027.
