loanDepot, Inc. (LDI)
Monsaic grades loanDepot, Inc. (LDI) HOLD, low conviction, as of 2026-07-15. LDI is a highly levered, rate-sensitive mortgage-origination turnaround with real operating assets, a large servicing book, and founder control, but persistent GAAP losses, negative free cash flow, book-value erosion, insider selling, and a $100M ATM cap near-term equity upside.
The one risk that matters
Rates remain elevated, refinance demand disappoints, servicing-right marks and non-funding debt interest keep GAAP profitability out of reach, and equity investors re-anchor toward distressed tangible book value rather than forward EPS.
Monsaic would change its verdict if
Cash and restricted cash continue falling while quarterly GAAP net losses remain above $40M.
