Walker & Dunlop is rated a 'buy' due to discounted valuation and recovering market opportunity despite sticky interest rates. WD trades at a 23.2% discount to fair value, with comps and SOTP analyses indicating 28–39% upside, while the DDM is more conservative. Recent underperformance was driven by idiosyncratic write-downs and loan losses, but Q1'26 results show strong transaction volume and agency lending growth.
