Two Harbors ( (TWO) ) has shared an announcement.

On May 13, 2026, CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC and its merger subsidiary waived a merger agreement restriction to allow Two Harbors to declare and pay a pro-rated “stub period” dividend on its common stock for the quarter in which their planned merger closes. This move ensures that if the merger closes on a date other than quarter end, existing shareholders of record immediately prior to the effective time will still receive a dividend sized in line with the most recent quarterly payout, preserving income continuity while the transaction progresses and aligning investor expectations around dividend treatment during the closing period.

The most recent analyst rating on (TWO) stock is a Hold with a $11.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Two Harbors stock, see the TWO Stock Forecast page.

**Spark’s Take on TWO Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TWO is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak and volatile fundamentals (large TTM loss, high leverage, and negative free cash flow). Offsetting this are strong technical momentum and deal-related positives, including improved cash offer terms and management commentary pointing to liquidity strength and a clearer strategic outcome.
