Analysis · RITM · Real Estate & Construction
Second-quarter results reveal a stark gap between GAAP net income of $0.04 per share and earnings available for distribution of $0.60 per share, largely due to non-cash MSR markdowns. The owner-operator model is performing across the board: asset management AUM rose to $61 billion on robust inflows, Newrez delivered a 22% annualized operating ROE, and Genesis Capital set a new origination record. With book value per share at $12.33—well above the current stock price—the market may be underestimating the platform's earnings power.
