UBS AG analyst Eric Wasserstrom said the Seattle- based lender is underestimating losses on home loans.

WaMu will lose about $21.7 billion from mortgages through 2011, more than the $12 billion to $19 billion the company forecasted, Wasserstrom wrote in a report today.

WaMu lost 14% on the news. Meanwhile Wachovia plunged 10%; and mortgage insurers PMI -14%; Radian -18%; MGIC -8%
