View the RWT Dividend Stock Profile
Howard Amster and related entities disclosed a 9.0% beneficial stake in Redwood Trust, Inc. on September 25, 2026, converting their ownership report to the more activist Schedule 13D format.
The filing lists 11,269,634 RWT shares acquired for about ﹩46.0 million using personal funds and working capital. The position includes 8,601,143 shares held directly by Amster and shares held through related trusts, partnerships, a foundation, and other entities.
The reporting group said it bought the shares because it considers RWT an attractive investment. It also reserved the right to communicate with management, the board, other shareholders, or third parties, including about potential business combinations, dispositions, governance, capitalization, or other strategic matters. The filing does not announce a specific proposal or agreement.
For shareholders, a 9% holder with broad engagement language can become influential in strategic or capital-allocation discussions. It does not, by itself, change Redwood Trust’s earnings, dividend capacity, assets, or financing. The practical effect depends on whether the holder makes a concrete proposal and how the company responds.
