Two Harbors ( (TWO) ) has provided an update.

On April 28, 2026, Two Harbors Investment Corp. and CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC amended their March 27 merger agreement, raising the all-cash consideration for Two Harbors common stockholders to $11.30 per share from $10.80 after the board reviewed a competing April 20 proposal from UWM Holdings. The revised deal, unanimously approved by Two Harbors’ board, keeps preferred stock redemptions unchanged, doubles the company termination fee to $50 million, adds new permit-related closing conditions, and sets up a May 19, 2026 shareholder vote ahead of an expected third-quarter closing that would take Two Harbors private under CrossCountry’s ownership.

The board concluded the enhanced CrossCountry offer remains superior in value and certainty to the rival bid, citing its fixed cash structure and regulatory progress as key advantages. If completed, the transaction will see Two Harbors delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, with existing stockholders cashed out and the company integrated into CrossCountry’s broader mortgage lending and servicing platform, potentially reshaping its capital markets and servicing operations under a private owner.

The most recent analyst rating on (TWO) stock is a Sell with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Two Harbors stock, see the TWO Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TWO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TWO is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance signals—earnings volatility, sharply higher leverage, and inconsistent cash generation. Offsetting this are moderately positive technical momentum, a high dividend yield (despite loss-driven negative P/E), and supportive but not risk-free corporate developments around the agreed take-private transaction.
