Chairman, President & CEO at Rithm Capital
Book value closed the quarter at $6,700,000,000 or $12.71 that's up from I think $12.39 prior quarter. Our dividend yield is still 8.9%. We're paying out $0.25 and we ended the quarter with a record amount of cash and liquidity at $2,100,000,000 When you think about the value prop and this is something that, quite frankly we spend a large amount of our time on, how do we take what we built, here at Rhythm and at our prior name of New Residential and create and get real value for what we think is a world class asset management business. So when you look at this slide and then I'm going to take you through Page six, which is a little bit easier. The true value in looking at Page six in the upper right side, for example, Mr. Cooper traded with Rocket for two times book. If you look in the upper right side of this page, Nuurez at two times book would be an $8,300,000,000 book value based on the amount of equity that's in that business today. If you value the investment portfolio one times book, that's $1,100,000,000 If you value Genesis, which is a great business at 1.3 times book that gets you to $760,000,000 And then the asset management business when we think about different multiples could be as high as 1,800,000,000 totaling $11,900,000,000 or a stock price that's in excess of $20 We're not going to get there today. Unfortunately, I'd like us to be there today. But when I look at the sum of the parts and I think about how we're valued in the marketplace, I feel as though we're extremely undervalued.
