Barclays analyst Terry Ma maintains $Mr. Cooper Group (COOP.US)$ with a buy rating, and adjusts the target price from $108 to $111.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 54.5% and a total average return of 2.4% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Mr. Cooper Group (COOP.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Heading into 2025, the specialty finance sector is expected to be influenced by a stable consumer base, improving credit trends especially among prime borrowers, persistently high mortgage rates, and a less stringent regulatory environment. The performance of shares in consumer lending has been anticipated to some extent since the election, raising challenges in selecting stocks. The strategy for mortgage finance in 2025, similar to that in 2024, will likely lean towards companies with balanced business models. It is advisable to focus on stocks that still have unacknowledged positive catalysts which could lead to further gains. Additionally, air lessors appear to remain undervalued in the market's view.
The results of the recent November election have reportedly revitalized 'animal spirits', improving business and consumer confidence amid expectations of a more pro-business political landscape. This shift has heightened expectations for the U.S. economy, though it suggests reduced prospects for further Federal Reserve easing. This scenario is favorable for stocks connected to consumer credit and spending but less advantageous for those linked to the mortgage market, which is described as 'subdued' due to high rates and low housing supply.
