Better Home & Finance downgraded to 'hold' after 80% stock drop amid weak mortgage demand and leadership issues.

Better Home & Finance shares have dropped about 80% due to weak mortgage demand and a leadership battle. The company reported Q3 revenue of $45 million and an EBITDA loss of $25 million, including $8 million in proxy fight expenses. Its Tinman AI platform is helping gain market share, but profitability depends on cost cuts and mortgage market recovery. With $140 million in cash and a possible sale option, downside risk is limited but no immediate buying catalyst exists.

Better Home & Finance shares have dropped about 80%, illustrating significant market challenges.
