Black Knight also offers property ownership and lien data, automated valuation models, collateral risk scores, multiple listing service, and eSign, eClosing, and remote online notarization (RON) solutions, with plans to integrate with Wolters Kluwer's eNote and eVault for complete digitization of the mortgage application and closing process.
TA-oriented investors will note a few optimistic patterns forming, as well as the CCI indicating an uptrend. But BKI also faced opposition and anti-trust regulation when it announced that it would join mortgage technology industry giant Intercontinental Exchange ICE (owner of Ellie Mae as well as the NYSE). With increased interest rates and housing inflation, will the mortgage industry take a hit?
After earnings results were released Tues morning, here's a strategy that offers some downside protection while maintaining growth potential.
Make a 10% yield (26% annualized) unless BKI falls more than 14% to below $54.59.
Start to lose only if BKI falls by more than 19% to below $51.76 as of 7/21/23.
Buy 1 $40 put
Sell 2 $55 puts
