Pontiac, MI based UWM Holdings Corporation engages in the origination, sale, and servicing residential mortgage lending in the United States. In December 2025, UWM Holdings Corporation and Two Harbors Investment Corp. ("Two Harbors") (owner of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing) signed an all-stock merger agreement valued at $1.3 billion to expand UWM Holdings Corporation 's mortgage servicing rights (MSRs).

However, in March 2026, Two Harbors terminated the UWM Holdings Corporation agreement after CrossCountry Mortgage stepped in with a competing cash offer and agreed to pay UWM Holdings Corporation 's termination fee. UWM Holdings Corporation aggressively countered by raising its proposals, but Two Harbors' board repeatedly rebuffed these advances, leading to a brief mandated negotiation waiver period in June 2026 that expired without a new deal.

On August 5, 2026, after the market closed, UWM Holdings Corporation reported second quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results, including a $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss which contributed to a $451.9 million second-quarter net loss. Total equity also fell 43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges.

Then, on August 6, 2026, at 10:30 AM EDT, UWM Holdings Corporation held an earnings call in connection with its second quarter 2026 financial results. During that call, Chief Executive Officer Mathew Ishbia ("Ishbia") disclosed "We were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction." Ishbia further stated "[w]e don't traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]" but "when you're going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book . . . it created a little more risk. So . . . we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed] . . . and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss."

Shares of UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UWMC) declined from $4.26 per share on March 10, 2026, to as low as $0.93 per share on August 06, 2026.

The plaintiff claims that between March 9, 2026 and August 5, 2026, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) UWM had deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging its mortgage servicing rights to take a major hedge position; (ii) UWM over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors Investment Corp. transaction; (iii) UWM's purported efforts to balance its risk in fact created an excess hedging risk; and (iv) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about UWM's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Those who purchased shares of UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UWMC) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
