8.6.26 UWM Earnings; MSF's Dawn Dawson on Mortgage Marketing; Ginnie Mae Custom Pools

UWM reported a mixed second quarter, with lower loan volume, a significant net loss, and a suspended dividend offset by a record $2.05 billion capital raise to strengthen its balance sheet, while management remains focused on competitive pricing and long-term positioning despite ongoing criticism. Robbie interviews Mortgage Solutions Financial’s Dawn Dawson on modern mortgage marketing. And the podcast closes with why Treasuries extended their rally as weak ADP hiring data, mixed global economic signals, and falling oil prices reinforced safe-haven demand ahead of Friday’s payrolls report, while broader labor market trends and continued growth in Ginnie Mae custom pools highlighted deeper structural shifts in employment and mortgage markets.Thank you to Figure.
