UWM Suspended Its Dividend and Raised $2.05 Billion From Oaktree After a $451.9 Million Quarterly Loss
United Wholesale Mortgage is a big lender, but one you probably haven't heard of.
In the second quarter of 2026, United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) suffered a significant setback, reporting a staggering $451.9 million loss, a stark contrast to the previous quarters. The company eliminated its dividend in light of the poor financial performance, signaling a challenging period ahead. Despite the losses, UWM remains a prominent player in the mortgage industry.
The quarter saw a decline in loan originations, which was down from the first quarter and remained flat year-over-year. The main factors contributing to the woes were a weak housing market and rising interest rates, both adverse to the mortgage sector.
