(LOAN) has provided an updated outlook for first-quarter 2026 mortgage loan originations, projecting a range of $6.75 billion to $7.75 billion, with a midpoint estimate of $7.07 billion. This guidance reflects the company's assessment of current market conditions, including borrower demand and interest rate dynamics, as well as operational performance during the period.
