Under the terms of the deal, holders of Two Harbors shares will receive 2.3328 shares of UWM Holdings Class A common stock for each share of Two Harbors they own. That exchange ratio equates to $11.94 per Two Harbors share based on UWM Holdings’ closing price on December 16, 2025. The company notes that the offer represents a 21% premium to Two Harbors’ 30-day volume-weighted average price.
Market analysis activity around UWM also included a new research initiation from Jefferies. The investment bank has assigned a Hold rating to UWM Holdings and set a $5.00 price target.

Taken together, the insider sales, conversion of paired interests, announced acquisition and fresh analyst coverage outline a period of active corporate and market developments for UWM Holdings in February 2026. The filings and disclosures provide precise transaction terms and pricing references, while the Jefferies initiation supplies an early third-party valuation perspective tied to projected 2027 earnings.
