The story so far

UWM Holdings Corporation, the largest mortgage lender in the US, reported a Q2 loss of $451.9 million. The company announced a $2.05 billion strategic capital partnership with the Ishbia family and Oaktree Capital Management. The news follows a 35% drop in UWM's stock price, the largest single-day decline in its history, after the company paused its dividend.

The investment comes as part of a $2 billion deal with an investment firm and the Ishbia family. The deal is intended to inject cash into UWM, which has been struggling with financial difficulties. Bloomberg.com and Yahoo Finance both note that the investment is part of a broader effort to stabilize the company's financial position.

The company's stock price has been volatile in recent months, inching closer to its 52-week low. The Detroit News and Crain's Detroit both note that the investment is expected to provide UWM with the financial resources it needs to navigate the current market conditions.
