What an earnings report is: every 3 months, a company tells everyone how much it sold and earned. We read the figures, the outlook, and how the stock moved after.
The figures are not read from the release yet.
“The credit-related charges were concentrated in loans associated with a small number of fraudulent sponsors we previously identified and were largely driven by the default of a previously repurchased portfolio of loans, and an agreement to increase our loss-sharing with Fannie Mae on a $15.9 million defaulted portfolio of loans in lieu of repurchasing them.”
WD's results filing gives no sales by line in a table we read.
No outlook figures read from this release.
“We expect to fully exit the remaining assets in this portfolio by early next year, and any future credit-related losses will be driven by the difference between the ultimate selling prices relative to our current estimates.”
