IndyMac - Conditions uncertain, declares dividend

IndyMac (IMB) reported earnings this morning. Revenue declined 21% and earnings declined 57%. Loan production declined 12% as they became "less aggressive" on bids for new business. One of the only bright spots was their reverse mortgage business which earned $18.8 million versus an anticipated loss of $12 million.

They declined to issue guidance due to "significant current uncertainties in the housing and mortgage markets." They did however declare their quarterly dividend of 50 cents per share, now an annualized 9% yield until they stop paying it.

The stock price has declined 52% this year.
