Flagstar Bancorp soars after Q2 results; BTIG stays lukewarm

  • With the a challenging housing market still serving as a headwind to its core mortgage origination business, Flagstar (FBC +7.7%) has focused efforts on de-risking its balance sheet and reducing costs and risks associated with NPLs, writes BTIG's Mark Palmer.
  • The bank's sale of $386M of interest-only loans during Q2 as well as $70M of NPLs helped drive a $10.3M after-tax reserve release, making a big earnings beat even bigger.
  • Still, says Palmer, mortgage originations will be the primary driver of the stock price, and after a big uptick in Q1, things pulled back last quarter as gain on loan sales fell to $82.2M from $91.3M, and gain on sales margin fell six basis points to 1.21%.
  • Palmer reiterates his Neutral rating and sees the stock - trading at 0.95x book value - as close to fair value.
