Event Summary

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of HDFC Bank — Credila Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI) following allegations that PennyMac may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. The investigation stems from PennyMac's January 29, 2026 Form 8-K filing with the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. The filing revealed a significant decline in the servicing segment pretax income to $37.3 million from $157.4 million in the prior quarter, and a 70% drop in pretax income excluding valuation-related items, driven by increased realization of mortgage servicing rights cash flows due to lower mortgage rates and higher prepayment activity. Following this news, PennyMac's stock price fell $49.78 per share, or 33.3%, to close at $99.92 per share on January 30, 2026. Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses, and encourages affected investors to join the prospective class action. The investigation is ongoing, with multiple press releases issued between July and August 2026.
