Still here.

Continue to reinvest dividends.

Average cost is now $7.80.

I'm surprised to find I still own some. Looks like I bought in March of '21. It's paying close to 10% dividend and I'm up just in value minus dividend about 3%.
Support at $9.83 currently.

Anybody still here??

I like the stock!!

Rithm Capital Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results (10/26/23)

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231026974090/en/

Sure, but higher rates should mean more room for profit in the mortgage biz. I would imagine less mortgages however.

Potential government shutdowns and higher rates longer tend to stir up the bond market.

Looks like this has broken down again this week.

Rithm Capital Corp. Acquired $1.4bn of Marcus Loans from Goldman Sachs (7/20/23)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rithm Capital Corp. (NYSE:RITM, “Rithm Capital” or the “Company”), an asset manager focused on the real estate and financial services industry, has announced the purchase of $1.4bn of prime unsecured consumer loans from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS or “Goldman Sachs”), a leading global financial institution. The portfolio was originated and serviced by Goldman Sachs through the Marcus program.

The pool represents a portion of the broader Marcus portfolio that was previously owned and held on balance sheet by Goldman Sachs. The pool is comprised of 100% fixed-rate closed-end installment loans in which ~95% of the pool was originated between 2021 Q4 and 2022 Q4 from the post-COVID demand boost.

“This purchase is extremely attractive to us building off our past and current expertise in consumer finance,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Rithm Capital. “Consistent with our investment approach, we continue to look for opportunities to grow shareholder value and believe this transaction will be an excellent addition.”

Recently expert investors have been buying $NOVC Common Shares at sub-penny share price off NO NEWS, NO SEC Filings No Retail Bid/Ask courtesy of NOVC Board which has exploited SEC Rule 15c(2)-11. see https://www.marketscreener.com use NOVC
This is happening in my opinion because $NOVC Board of Directors has exploited SEC Rule 15c(2)-11 which allows ONLY expert investors (HF that file 13F) to BUY $NOVC common including Goldman Sachs 360K, Blackrock 260K BofA 676K, Putnam Investments 333K, Bridges Investment Mgt & Dreman Value Mgt 533K shares (The Great Value Investor David Dreman, Author of Contrarian Investment Strategies Edition one and two). They have bought millions of $NOVC shares at sub-penny stock prices, off NO RETAIL News NO retail Bid/Ask since NOVC Board triggered SEC Rule 15c2-11
My research shows $NOVC Board has been working with MassMutual sub-Barings, Jefferies (owns 20M NOVC Common per 13D filing 6/23/2011), and Softbank 100% own sub-Fortress & White Mountains Capital $WTM which owns www.EJFCap.com.
These investors own 100% of Novation Co OTCBB $NOVC common & the only Sr Debt to exit Ch 11 already paid $11m Cash, $6.3M inside Ch 11. Obviously, the only Sr Debt can be erased in seconds. I introduced Frank Bazos, ex-VP M&A at White Mountains Capital (now Special Advisor to $WTM) to the X CEO of $NOVC. $NOVC is now owned by White Mountains Capital via their investment in EJF Capital 2019 (the year Bazos joined WTM as VP M&A). Bazos via $WTM owns 80% of $NOVC common 91M 80% of 116M Shares Outstanding. I and a few privates own 25M $NOVC common shares. Plus Jefferies $JEF 20M is not counted in the 91M 80% per 13D 6/23/2011. Now expert investors some related to the Board are able to BUY $NOVC Novation Co Inc. off no retail news thanks to SEC Rule 15c2-11 https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/NOVATION-COMPANIES-INC-120787360/company/â?¦;
Why and what are their future intentions? I believe Fortress Co CEOs Wesley Edens, Peter Briger with Partners Co CEOs EJF Capital Manny Friedman, Neal Wilson $NOVC only Debt Holders & NOVC largest Common Equity Holders 31.3M 26% of all shares (hidden behind CDOs that paid almost nothing to own) in concert with Mass Mutual & Barings 20M and Jefferies that own 20M $NOVC common and NOVC Board owns at least 40M 35% of 116M Common Shares Outstanding will split off $NOVC prior tax exempt MREIT Novastar Financial Inc. (newname) which traded on NYSE as $NFI & monetize rights that control billions of rich, seasoned collateral assets ideal to be leveraged/securitized into a new MREIT Dividend. The remaining entity HCS www.healthcare-staffing.com est $55M Revenue will most likely be merged with Hudson Global RPO Recruiting Process Outsourcer aka Staffing $210M Revenue creating a quarter of a billions public company tax free thanks to NOVC $730M NOLs. It is possible the MREIT and HCS/NOVC’s HCS are both worth 10 to $30 per share plus dividends. Barry Igdaloff and his family and Rose Capital HF would turn a million worth of PS Series C stock 10M $NOVC common, most camouflaged into $600M Capital over 2 different public companies both tax free plus dividends. This is just what Barry Igdaloff and Howard Amter, Thomas Akin his pals Todd Emoff did at Dynex Capital NYSE $DX with Wesley R. Edens Co CEO of Fortress. See $NOVC 8K filed Friday 1/20/2023, long time investors states CPA firm top 100 CPA per AICPA Boulay Group signs off on $NOVC.
It would appear from Boulay's exit letter, that the reorg is finished. The letter
says that the accounting(actions) are all in order, as of Jan 20, 2023. I am guessing,
that one posters thought that $NOVC would be split up into at least two new companies
is the reason, both Tax Free one tax exempt MREIT 2nd use 730M NOLs. "The bomb should drop soon."

The same investors that restructured $RITM formerly called/traded Newcastle Investment Corp $NCT now traded as Drive Shack $DS which kept 100% of $160M NOLs after spinning out 3 tax-exempt MREITs $GCI, $SNR sold for $2.3B months ago and New Residential Investment $NRZ now traded Rithm Capital $RITM & same investors that restructured Dynex Capital NYSE $DX from penny stock to $10/share (pre 3:1 split effectively $4 today 12/shr/3) are at it again at Novation Co $NOVC OTCBB.

They have laid $NOVC dormant thanks to these same investors triggering SEC Rule 15c2-11 which stops all retail news & SEC filings. Rule 15c2-11 still allows expert investors hedge fund's HF to trade Novation Companies Inc. OTCBB $NOVC even with No SEC filings, and No News. MarketScreener shows recent BUYS since NOVC Board triggered this SEC Rule including many related investors Goldman Sachs 360K $NOVC common, Blackrock 260K $NOVC common, David Dreman's Dreman Value Mgt buys 533K $NOVC common, Putnam Investments bus 387K $NOVC common Bank of America Buys 671K $NOVC common shares aka they have bought millions of Novation Companies Inc. OTCBB $NOVC common shares just since $NOVC Board triggered SEC Rule 15c2-11 https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/NOVATION-COMPANIES-INC-120787360/company/ See Extract Bottom
The reason for this buying is $NOVC Board ex $DX NYSE Dynex Capital Board Members and Investors I believe will split $NOVC into public companies one tax-exempt MREIT using CCR cleanup call rights aka rights that control future use of billions of rich, seasoned collateral assets ideal to be securitized into MREIT dividend and another mgt fee for Fortress like over $150M $RITM aka $NRZ aka $NCT paid Fortress every year on top of dividends. Fortress recently terminated this Management Agreement pickup $400M whopping Terminations Fee. This fee can be replaced by $NOVC. See CCR rights are defined in Section 5.04 of Service Rights Transfer Agreement see Exhibit 2.1 of 10Q filed by $NOVC formerly traded as tax-exempt MREIT on NYSE $NFI Novastar Financial Inc. which is a subsidiary of $NOVC and holds these CCR.

I bought 3/11/21 at $10.79. Either way, the chart has not shown any strength in quite some time. (6/16)

Let me take a look back…

I paid as little as $3.77 (a large purchase on 4/06/20) - not the bottom - to as much as $11.58 (reinvestment of dividends on 11/02/21).

Average cost $7.91.

Yeah, but if you bought most any other time you're down. I see it below resistance and trending down.
Let me know when it breaks through $9.22. Then I might get just a tad excited about it.
Getting through $11.25 and I might be ecstatic.

This is huge.

Expect RITM to be an active bidder on MSRs being sold. And this will require cash well in excess of what is generated in normal runoff.

I also noticed a major shift in the Correspondent Lending space in 2022. Many sellers were actively looking for new relationships starting in 2022. It makes sense now. WFC must have intentionally started offering less favorable pricing last year in an effort to slow the growth of its servicing portfolio.

C also began rebuilding its CL business in 2021.

If You Invested $1,000 In Rithm Capital (RITM) Stock At Its COVID-19 Pandemic Low, Here's How Much You'd Have Now (1/06/23)

BY Benzinga

Investors who bought stocks during the COVID-19 market crash in 2020 have generally experienced some big gains in the past two and a half years. But there was no question some big-name stocks performed better than others since the pandemic bottom.

New Residential's Bumpy Ride: One company that has been an impressive investment in the past two and a half years has been mortgage REIT New Residential Investment, now known as Rithm Capital Corp NYSE:RITM.

New Residential and other mortgage REITs were crushed in March 2020 as the pandemic created incredibly difficult financial conditions for the companies.

Recession fears tanked the value of New Residential's mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The company was ultimately forced to sell assets in unfavorable market conditions to shore up its balance sheet. It was also forced into a dividend cut.

Before the crisis, New Residential focused on originating mortgages that didn't qualify to be purchased by Federal National Mortgage Association (OTC:FNMA) or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTC:FMCC). The lack of liquidity in the mortgage market during the COVID-19 crisis prompted New Residential to completely shift its business model to focus on mortgages that met Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's purchase qualifications.

At the beginning of 2020, New Residential shares were trading at $16.16. By the beginning of March, the stock was down to $15.68 as news of the coronavirus spreading in China prompted concerns about a U.S. pandemic.

When the market crashed during the U.S. COVID-19 outbreak, New Residential shares dropped as low as $2.91 on April 3, 2020, during the height of the pandemic fears.

When the market bounced off pandemic lows, New Residential began to rebound as well. The stock reached $9.42 per share in June before the recovery rally fizzled out.

New Residential Mortgage regained the momentum of the broader market in the second half of 2020. The stock was back up above $10 by the end of the year.

New Residential In 2023, Beyond: As mortgage market conditions improved in 2021, New Residential started acquiring smaller lenders and expanding its market share.

New Residential stock hit its 2021 highs of $11.81 in November before pulling to finish off the year. The stock dipped back to as low as $6.86 in September 2022 after New Residential internalized its management and rebranded as Rithm Capital in June 2022. Today, shares are hovering around $8.44.

Still, investors who bought New Residential on the day it hit its 2020 pandemic low and held on have generated a positive return on their investment. In fact, $1,000 in New Residential stock bought on Apr. 3, 2020, would be worth about $3,394 today, assuming reinvested dividends.

Looking ahead, analysts are expecting Rithm's stock to continue to recover in the next 12 months. The average price target among the 11 analysts covering the stock is $12, suggesting 41.8% upside from current levels.

Not necessarily.

Bulk MSR acquisitions require a large amount of cash when an opportunity arises. Each time, the company has floated a secondary offering. Then, the price goes down for a short period of time.

Plus, the recently-enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes a new, non-deductible, 1% excise tax on “repurchases” of the stock of “covered corporations” which occur after 12/31/22.

And they are, or approved a new buyback recently. Internalizing management this year was important, as then can focus better on BVPS and economic return vs. incentives lingering to grow assets (and therefore outside fees) no matter the return profile.

If legit, they'd be idiots not to be buying back their shares now.

Well they aren't happy with the price action either, and are buying back shares. Also, this chart shows how they smoked their peers in economic return this year performance wise.

So, why is it trading at a P/E of 4? Somethin' ain't right here.
I'm noticing their competitors are all losing money.

Actually, I take it back. NLY looks like an even better bargain.

No.

Earnings are more than covering the dividend.

Haven't been real enamored here. Big dividend, almost matches loss in share price. Is it just a return of principle?

The income on this has been nice, but the long term trend seems to be slowly dwindling.
Are they selling off assets to maintain the dividend?

Rithm Capital Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results (8/02/22)

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220802005391/en/Rithm-Capital-Corp.-Announces-Second-Quarter-2022-Results

New Residential Investment Corp. Announces Internalization and Rebrand to Rithm Capital, and Declares Second Quarter 2022 Dividends (6/17/22)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Residential Investment Corp. (NYSE: NRZ) (“NRZ” or the “Company”) announced today it has entered into agreements providing for the internalization of the Company’s management function.

In conjunction with the internalization, the Company announced plans to change its name and rebrand as Rithm Capital Corp. (NYSE: RITM) (“Rithm Capital”).

Internalization Agreement

Under the Internalization Agreement, the parties have terminated the Management and Advisory Agreement, dated May 7, 2015 (the “Management Agreement”), effective as of June 17, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). In connection with the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay FIG LLC (the “Manager”) $400 million, with $200 million paid on the Effective Date, $100 million payable on September 15, 2022 and $100 million payable on December 15, 2022.

As a result of the termination of the Management Agreement, and subject to an agreed upon transition described in more detail below, NRZ has ceased to be externally managed and now operates as an internally managed REIT.

Continuing Strong Leadership Team

The Company will continue to be managed by its strong senior leadership team, with Michael Nierenberg as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President and Nick Santoro as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. In addition, the Company intends to retain employees of the Manager who currently serve in key roles at the Company, including, but not limited to, those who support NRZ’s investment, legal, accounting, tax and treasury operations.

Expected Key Benefits of the Internalization

The Company estimates that the internalization will result in approximately $60 to $65 million of cost savings, or $0.12 to $0.13 per diluted share1, per year.

“We believe the internalization positions the Company for long-term success,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of New Residential. “We view this transaction as a way to drive value for shareholders with expected cost savings, incremental synergies and ability to leverage employees across the NRZ ecosystem.”

“Our strategy has not changed – we will continue to focus on opportunities across the financial services landscape,” continued Mr. Nierenberg. “We are excited about the Company’s future and look forward to continuing to produce great returns for our shareholders.”

Rebranding to Rithm Capital

The Company’s name change and rebranding to Rithm Capital are intended to highlight a new chapter in the Company’s evolution and reinforce its position as a leading diversified company in the financial services and real estate sectors.

“We are taking this opportunity to rebrand to Rithm Capital and demonstrate the growth of our Company,” said Mr. Nierenberg. “We have changed dramatically since our inception, from an owner of MSR assets to a company with complementary operating companies and a unique portfolio of investments. The new name and brand help distinguish us from our operating companies, including Newrez, and reflect our culture, team and ambitions for growth beyond residential mortgages.”

The name change will take effect on or about August 1, 2022 pursuant to customary notices, and the Company’s new website will be www.RithmCap.com.

Transition Services Agreement

The Company and the Manager also entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager will provide (or cause to be provided), at cost, all of the services it was previously providing to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Date until December 31, 2022. The Transition Services Agreement may be terminated earlier in accordance with its terms or if the Company and the Manager agree that no further services are required.

Former Manager

Prior to the internalization, the Company was externally managed by the Manager, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, subject to oversight by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), pursuant to the Management Agreement. In accordance with the Management Agreement, the Manager provided the Company with a management team, other personnel and corporate infrastructure. Accordingly, the individuals who provided services to the Company were employees of the Manager. In exchange for the Manager’s services, the Company paid the Manager certain fees, including a management fee and, subject to performance, an incentive fee. The Company also reimbursed the Manager for certain costs.

Special Committee of the Board of Directors

The Board formed a Special Committee composed entirely of independent and disinterested directors to negotiate and approve the terms of the internalization. In connection with the internalization, Jones Lang LaSalle Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc., served as financial advisor and Goodwin Procter LLP served as counsel to the Special Committee, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. served as financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as counsel to the Manager.

Second Quarter 2022 Common and Preferred Dividends

Common Stock Dividend

The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock for the second quarter 2022. The second quarter common stock dividend is payable on July 29, 2022 to shareholders of record on July 1, 2022.

Preferred Stock Dividends

In accordance with the terms of the Company’s 7.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A”), the Board declared a Series A dividend for the second quarter 2022 of $0.4687500 per share.

Yes.

I purchased common and preferred stock at much lower levels.

Margin calls are tough to deal when you are forced to sell at the bottom. All of the mREITs were impacted.

The loan will allow NRZ to repurchase some or all of the securities currently parked at Fortress.

So, you're bullish?

Summary of Recent Policy Announcements Impacting Servicer Advances

Recent programs announced by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae have been supportive of the servicing industry and are expected to help homeowners.

The announcement from Ginnie Mae on May 14, 2020 provides issuers with temporary relief from enforcement of Ginnie Mae’s delinquency thresholds by removing delinquencies occurring on or after April 2020 when calculating Ginnie Mae delinquency ratios.

The announcement from FHFA on May 13, 2020 offering a streamlined deferral program (starting July 1, 2020) limits New Residential’s projected advancing obligations on GSE loans by incentivizing servicers to offer deferrals to homeowners in COVID-19 forbearances.

The announcement from the FHFA on April 21, 2020 to limit servicer P&I advance obligations on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans to four months significantly reduces New Residential’s projected advancing obligations for GSE loans in COVID-19 forbearances.

The announcement from Ginnie Mae on April 10, 2020 establishing the Pass-Through Assistance Program (“PTAP”) provides Ginnie Mae issuers with a 100% LTV financing solution of last resort for Ginnie Mae P&I advances.

1 For additional information, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2020.

2 The estimated book value is based primarily on management’s estimates of its assets as of May 15, 2020 and not on third party valuations. While the Company believes that such estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and information available to it as of May 15, 2020, actual results may vary, and such variations may be material. Furthermore, the extreme volatility and turmoil that currently riles the financial markets makes estimates of asset values even less reliable than usual.

3 $625 million of $1.8 billion additional capacity has been agreed to in principle but is subject to definitive documentation. There can be no assurance that we will complete such definitive documentation or close such financing.
