Mortgage Banking Platforms Net Income
Combined GAAP net income from Sequoia, Aspire, and CoreVest reached $40 million in Q2 2026, supported by $8.0 billion in production and $8.2 billion in distributions.
-
Legacy Investments Wind-Down
The capital allocated to Legacy Investments dropped to less than 12% of total capital, down from 15% at March 31, 2026, reflecting an accelerated disposition of non-core assets.
-
Book Value Decline
GAAP book value per share fell to $6.90 from $7.12 at March 31, 2026, largely due to loan resolutions, mark-to-market adjustments, and carrying costs within Legacy Investments.

Subsequent Strategic Moves
After the quarter, Redwood closed a new Aspire joint venture and completed a secured financing transaction on its unsecuritized HEI contracts, freeing up capital for general corporate purposes.
Analysis · RWT · Real Estate & Construction
The Q2 2026 results underscore the earnings power of Redwood Trust's mortgage banking platforms, which together generated $40 million in GAAP net income, fueled by record production at Aspire and robust distribution across all channels. Meanwhile, the aggressive wind-down of the Legacy Investments portfolio continues, with its capital allocation now below 12% of total capital. Although GAAP book value per share slipped to $6.90, the strategic pivot toward capital-efficient mortgage banking is gaining traction, bolstered by a new joint venture and a secured HEI financing completed after the quarter.
