Despite the decline, the analysts’ 12-month average price target suggests more than 95% upside from the current level.

​Recently, on June 5, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods kept its Market Perform rating on UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE:UWMC) with a price target of $4.5. The firm noted that the main concern for the company is leverage. The firm explained that in a “higher-for-longer” interest rate environment, the company’s balance sheet looks stretched compared to mortgage banking peers.

​Moreover, the firm believes that a dividend reduction is likely once the pending TWO acquisition is resolved, and also noted the deal to be less attractive, particularly if it’s structured primarily as a cash transaction. KBW thinks a dividend cut, while painful for the short-term, would ultimately be a positive for the company.

UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE:UWMC) is a wholesale residential mortgage lender. The company is based in Pontiac, Michigan and was founded in 1986.
