(NASDAQ:PFSI), executed a sale of 2,177 shares of the company's common stock on July 1, 2026. The transaction resulted in a total sale value of $189,159, with the shares cleared at a per-share price of $86.89.
This divestment activity occurred on the same day Mr. Hendry exercised nonstatutory stock options to acquire an equivalent 2,177 shares of common stock. The acquisition of these shares was facilitated at an exercise price of $24.40 per share, culminating in a total cost of $53,118 for the initial purchase.

The timing of this sale coincides with a broader downward trend for PennyMac stock, which has experienced a 35% decline over the preceding six months. Despite this recent performance, the stock is currently trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value metric, a positioning that analysts may interpret as indicating potential for future upside. Fundamentally, PennyMac maintains a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.75, supported by earnings per share of $9.41 recorded over the last twelve months.
