What PennyMac Financial Services does

Mortgage originator and servicer operating retail, wholesale/correspondent and consumer-direct lending channels.

Earns a gain when it sells newly made home loans into mortgage securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, and a steady fee for collecting payments on loans it services, which cushions it when borrowing slows. It is one of the largest buyers of loans from smaller lenders and also manages a separate listed mortgage REIT for fees.
