Timothy D'Agostino's questions to Onity Group Inc (ONIT) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Timothy D'Agostino, on behalf of Randy Binner from B. Riley Securities, inquired about the company's perspective on M&A activity within the mortgage servicing sector, especially in contrast to recent origination-focused transactions in the industry.
Answer
CEO, President & Chair Glen Messina responded that M&A in the servicing sector is a trade-off against acquiring assets in the bulk market. He suggested that as long as the bulk MSR market remains robust, it will be the preferred channel for growth. However, if that supply diminishes while demand for servicing assets remains high, M&A activity on the servicing side could increase.
