Analyst is Skeptical About Countrywide.
Arlington, VA -- Analysts at Friedman Billings Ramsey have downgraded their rating on the stock of Countrywide Financial Corp. to "market perform" from "outperform."
Analysts Paul Miller, Annett Franke and Steve Stelmach said the lower rating reflects the recent increase in Countrywide's valuation rather than any deterioration in the business.
But they advised investors that Countrywide's recent stock repurchases may do little to bolster earnings per share in 2008, citing volatility in Countrywide's earnings stream. Adjustments to the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and gain-on-sale margin compression could eat away at any accretion from Countrywide's recent and future share repurchases, the FBR report said.
