Thornburg Mortgage, a specialist in jumbo home loans that nearly went bankrupt in March, on Thursday posted a $3.31 billion first-quarter loss as the value of mortgages and other securities it owns plummeted.
The company said its net loss before preferred stock dividends totaled $20.64 per share, and compared with a year-earlier profit of $75 million, or 62 cents per share.
Thornburg shares closed Wednesday at 72 cents, according to New York Stock Exchange data. Their 52-week high is $27.80, set last June 20.
