RITM beats Q2 earnings estimates as higher asset management revenues and origination volumes are offset by weaker servicing revenues and higher expenses.
Rithm Capital reported a strong Q2, with EAD of $0.60 per share, supporting a 19.7% ROE and a secure 10%+ dividend yield. RITM's diversified platform—mortgage origination/servicing, real estate private credit, and asset management—positions it for a potential valuation rerating if reclassified as an asset manager. Newrez posted a 212% QoQ earnings increase and Genesis achieved record originations, while asset management AUM surpassed $61B, driving fee-based growth.
Rithm Capital NYSE: RITM reported second-quarter earnings available for distribution of $338.9 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, while GAAP net income was $20.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President Michael Nierenberg said results reflected contributions from the company's Newrez mortgage business, Genesis Capital lending platform, Sculptor and Crestline asset-management businesses, and Elecor Properties real estate portfolio.
