Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $UWM Holdings (UWMC.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The key themes expected to shape the specialty finance sector looking ahead to 2025 include a stable consumer environment, improving consumer credit trends, especially in prime categories, persistently high mortgage rates, and a relaxing regulatory environment. Since the election, the performance of shares in consumer lending has seen early gains, complicating stock selection. The successful approach from last year in mortgage finance, which favors balanced business models, remains relevant for 2025. There's a preference for stocks that have unrecognized, positive catalysts poised to create further value. Moreover, air lessors are believed to still be significantly undervalued, with decreased focus on mortgage credit.
Following the results of the November election, which appeared to heighten business and consumer confidence in anticipation of a more favorable business environment, there are heightened expectations for the U.S. economy. Simultaneously, this situation has dampened prospects for further Federal Reserve easing. This development is seen to benefit stocks linked to consumer credit and spending but does not bode well for those related to the mortgage market, which remains constrained by high rates and a scarce housing supply.
