Shares of UWM Holdings are on track to close at a two-year low after the company swung to a loss in the first quarter
The stock fell 12% to a low of $4.21 in the morning session. Shares are now down 27% since the start of the year.
The Michigan-based lender, which operates as United Wholesale Mortgage, reported a loss of $13.7 million, or 12 cents a share, compared with a profit of $8.7 million, or 9 cents a share, in the same quarter a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, the company recorded earnings of 4 cents a share, a penny below the estimates of analysts polled by FactSet.
The company's gain margin on loans it sold was lower than it was last quarter and in the same quarter a year earlier.
Chief Executive Mat Ishbia said costs were higher from investments in the business and that gain margin was lower but is trending higher overall.
