BofA Downgrades Mortgage Insurers Enact, Essent, and NMI Following Executive Order
Bank of America Securities has downgraded mortgage insurance providers Enact Holdings (ACT), Essent Group (ESNT), and NMI Holdings (NMIH). The downgrades are driven by concerns over policy overhangs resulting from a recent executive order signed by President Donald Trump. The executive order aims to reduce homeownership costs, creating potential regulatory uncertainty for the mortgage insurance sector. Analysts suggest that these policy shifts could impact the long-term profitability and operational landscape for companies specializing in private mortgage insurance.
