Our Viewpoint on RITM
Rithm Capital’s second-quarter results reflected solid performance. The company continues to benefit from a diversified multi-engine platform spanning mortgage origination and servicing, asset management, residential lending and commercial real estate. Also, growth at Newrez, Genesis, Sculptor and Rithm Asset Management, along with the Crestline and Paramount acquisitions supports its long-term growth trajectory. However, higher compensation costs remain concerning.
