Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The acquisition immediately expands FOA's servicing book by ~20k loans and $5.2B UPB, improving scale, revenue visibility, and customer base. A cash deal reduces dilution risk and signals financial flexibility; similar acquisitions historically boost near-term EPS and ROA, though integration risk exists.
