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

On March 27, 2026, Two Harbors Investment Corp. agreed to be acquired by CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, an affiliate of CrossCountry Mortgage, which will merge a subsidiary into Two Harbors and take it private as a wholly owned subsidiary. Two Harbors common shareholders will receive $10.80 per share in cash, while preferred shares remain outstanding until redeemed at $25 plus accrued dividends, and existing equity awards will be cashed out on specified terms.

The deal, unanimously approved by the Two Harbors board and expected to close in the second half of 2026 subject to customary approvals, will see Two Harbors delisted from the NYSE and integrated with CrossCountry’s large retail mortgage origination platform. Two Harbors terminated its prior merger agreement with UWM Holdings on March 27, 2026, triggering a $25.4 million termination fee that CrossCountry agreed to pay, and the combined platform is positioned as a fully integrated mortgage player spanning origination through servicing.

The most recent analyst rating on (TWO) stock is a Hold with a $11.50 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 primarily held back by weak financial performance driven by the 2025 loss, sharply higher leverage, and inconsistent cash flow. Technicals and valuation are mixed, with a very high dividend yield partially offset by loss-making earnings. Earnings-call commentary and recent takeover interest provide some support, but both come with meaningful uncertainty.
