In October 2025, PennyMac announced organizational changes and reported its third-quarter results, with a net income of $0.55 per common share. In November and December 2025, PMT declared its fourth-quarter dividends and priced the reopening of $75 million of 8.500% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029, with a further reopening of $75 million later in the month.

PMT's stock had a 7.48% return over the past month and a 12.21% return over the past three months as of late January 2026, but underperformed the US Mortgage REITs industry and the broader US Market over the past year. Short interest in PMT recently decreased by 11.01%.
