Home Point Capital Inc. - HMPT STOCK NEWS

Homepoint, the third-largest wholesale lender in 2022, announced the sale of its wholesale originations business to The Loan Store.

Meanwhile, Homepoint will focus on managing its mortgage servicing rights (MSR) portfolio, which is expected to generate significant cash flow over time. The transaction is anticipated to close in Q2 2023.
