PONTIAC, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UWM, the #1 mortgage lender in America, is making credit evaluations smarter, simpler and more borrower-friendly with a major enhancement that automatically selects the best credit score returned for a consumer by obtaining FICO® Scores and VantageScore® 4.0 on all credit pulls. This will ensure UWM provides the borrower with the lowest payment, cheaper mortgage insurance and lower all-in fees and costs, providing a more affordable mortgage for consumers. In fact.

Walk through the cascade of pressures on the mortgage industry and UWMC: elevated rates, 10b5-1 selling plan, and a $603 million hedge loss tied to the failed Two Harbors deal that's driven the stock down nearly 70% YTD. The core business remained profitable underneath the Q2 loss, but the over-hedged derivatives and subsequent Oaktree Capital preferred raise have left common shareholders like myself with a much longer recovery timeline. Real progress on the preferred pay down, sustained operating results, and eventual restoration of capital returns will determine whether UWM can reclaim a healthier valuation of itself.
