PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) reported a net loss of $43.9 million, or $(0.45) per share, for Q3 2021, marking a decline from a net income of $31.9 million in the previous quarter.

The credit-sensitive strategies segment performed well, but the interest rate-sensitive strategies segment faced significant losses.
