Pennymac Mortgage Investment Trust stock (PMT) traded at $9.36 as of August 28, 2026, after a real-time quote showed a $0.03 gain, or 0.32 percent, at 12:17:46 p.m. EDT. The latest reported quarter, released on July 29, 2026, showed $0.23 earnings per share, $46.0 million in revenue, and a quarterly dividend of $0.40.
July 29 numbers still matter
The July 29 quarter came in below the $0.30 consensus for EPS by $0.07, while revenue was far from the $93.93 million expectation cited in market coverage. That gap helps explain why the share price has stayed cautious even with the dividend rate at $1.60 a year.
Analyst coverage compiled in market reports now points to a $1.03 EPS estimate for the current fiscal year. Against that, PMT's most recent quarter produced a 47.79 percent net margin and a 12.50 percent return on equity, two figures that frame the trust's earnings power after the latest report.
Dividend still anchors the story
PMT's quarterly dividend was paid on July 24, 2026, after the record date on July 9, 2026, and the annualized payout equals $1.60 a share. The payout ratio was listed at 112.68 percent, a level that keeps distribution coverage in the foreground for income investors.
For investors, the comparison is straightforward: $0.23 in quarterly EPS versus $0.30 expected, and $46.0 million in revenue versus $93.93 million expected, while the stock still changes hands at a single-digit share price. The next read-through now depends on whether the mortgage REIT can improve earnings efficiency without weakening its payout profile.

More on PMT stock
PMT's business model centers on mortgage credit and related assets, so spread income and dividend coverage are the main variables that drive the stock's tone after earnings. The July 29 quarter left both figures under pressure, but the trust's income appeal remains tied to the same payout structure.
