Reason
BofA lowered the firm's price target on PennyMac Mortgage to $12.50 from $13.50 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Following a Q2 miss, the firm is lowering its 2025 EPS estimate and "modestly lowering" its 2026 EPS estimate due to higher operating expense estimates. More broadly, the firm remains cautious on the mortgage sector due to high rates and elevated competition, which should continue to weigh on production volume and margins, the analyst tells investors.

Reason
Keefe Bruyette downgraded PennyMac Mortgage to Market Perform from Outperform with a price target of $13.50, down from $14.50. The firm reduced estimates post the Q2 report, now seeing the company's earnings per share moving in line with the 40c dividend by the second half of 2027 versus prior expectations for the end of 2026. Keefe cites PennyMac's book value decline in Q2 and the slower timeline to reaching a double-digit return on equity for the downgrade. It sees limited near-term catalysts for the shares.
