These fat dividends benefited from floating in one way or another. Many of them are more than 10%. Some shares start floating in 2024 or early 2025. Those shares aren't showing their floating yield yet, even though they will kick in soon. We also need to look at the change in valuations for some better companies.

Big dividend yields? Yes. But that's not enough. One of the ETFs we love smashing seems to be struggling. Maybe buying yield blindly isn't a great technique. When you're investing, you need to start looking at relative values.

Big Yields Meet Big Trouble

I'm buying AGNC's Series C floating rate preferreds, which currently offer an 11% yield on cost and are trading just 5 cents above their liquidation price. The mREIT has five outstanding floating rate preferreds that offer an alternative and safer way to gain exposure to its portfolio of residential mortgage-backed securities. I've stayed away from the commons which are trading at a nearly 20% premium to net book value albeit with a substantial 15% annualized dividend yield paid monthly.

Following the best week of the year, U.S. equity markets were mixed this week as interest rates rebounded from the prior week's plunge after Fed officials pushed back on market optimism. Posting gains in nine out of ten sessions since dipping into "correction territory" at the end of October, the S&P 500 gained 1.4% on the week, but Mid-Caps and Small-Caps posted declines. Following their best week since 2020, REITs took a step back this week as upward pressure on benchmark interest rates offset a solid conclusion to a strong earnings season.

Fed Says 'Not So Fast'

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the fourth week of October and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferred stocks were slightly lower as Treasury yields fell, driving yields above the COVID period. Mortgage REIT preferreds kicked off earnings and saw double-digit drops in book value.

BETHESDA, Md. , Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AGNC Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) ("AGNC" or the "Company") announced today a corrected dividend amount for the third quarter 2023 cash dividend on the outstanding depositary shares1 of its 7.00% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock") (Nasdaq: AGNCN), originally declared on September 13, 2023.

Agency MBS is an attractive asset class for income investors due to its cheap valuation, high quality, and diversification benefits. The option-adjusted spread for Agency MBS is elevated compared to corporate credit spreads, making it an appealing investment. There are various ways to invest in Agency MBS, including through mortgage REITs, leveraged CEFs, unleveraged ETFs, and mREIT preferreds.

Why The Agency MBS Sector Is Worth A Look Now

PennyMac Mortgage Trust caused confusion with their announcement on fixed-to-floating shares, requiring re-examination of these shares. Some REITs have stated they will use 3-month Term SOFR + 26.161 basis points as a substitute for 3-month LIBOR. AGNC has a higher dividend yield and consensus earnings yield compared to DX, but I strongly doubt this will lead to superior returns.

Wild Times For Mortgage REITs

AGNC now yields 15% on the back of monthly cash dividends that have remained stable at $0.12 per share for the last three years. The mREIT's tangible net book value has faced pressure in recent years but is showing signs of stability. With the dividend fully covered by EPS, AGNC is set to remain a critical source of income as the current rate hike cycle enters its final phase.

AGNC: A Hefty 15% Yield Against A Chaotic Post-Pandemic Zeitgeist

AGNC Investment reported a relatively good quarter. Share issuance was again the primary highlight though as AGNC used the premium to book value to unload over 10 million shares. Hedges fall a lot over the next 12 months and the dividend will likely be readjusted lower after that.

U.S. equity markets advanced to their highest levels of the year on an "inflation week" rally after the closely-watched CPI and PPI reports showed a continued sharp cooldown in price pressures. Closing at the highest levels since April 2022, the S&P 500 advanced 2.4% this week, while the other major equity benchmarks - the Mid-Cap 400 and Small-Cap 600 - gained 3%. Real estate equities- the sector with perhaps the most potential upside from a "soft landing" scenario- were among the leaders for a third straight week. The Equity REIT Index gained 2.9%.

Stick The Soft Landing

Variable rate securities should be agnostic to interest rates. Yet the floating rate preferreds crashed on a strong jobs report. The mispricing is exacerbated representing even greater opportunity.

U.S. equity markets closed-out a volatile first-half at their highest-levels of the year as investors cheered data showing continued resilience in economic activity alongside further signs of cooling inflationary pressure. Rebounding from its worst week since March, the S&P 500 advanced 2.3% to close at its highest-levels since April 2022. The Mid-Cap 400 and Small-Cap 600 each rallied over 4%. Lifted by a recovery in the most beaten-down property sectors, real estate equities led the rally on the week. The Equity REIT Index advanced 4.3% while Mortgage REITs surged 6%.

Rates Up, REITs Down? Whether fundamentally justified or not, commercial and residential real estate markets continue to bear the brunt of the Federal Reserve's historically swift monetary tightening cycle. Commercial real estate, in particular, has been the boogeyman that bank executives have blamed for unrelated distress. While there are pockets of distress, actual default rates remain historically low. The pockets of distress are almost entirely debt-driven, with the notable exception of coastal urban office properties. Nearly every property sector reported "same-store" property-level income above pre-pandemic levels.

U.S. equity markets finished lower for a second-straight week as data showing an encouraging cooldown of inflationary pressures was offset by ongoing regional bank instability and an unresolved debt ceiling standoff. Declining for a second week after ending April at its highest levels of the year, the S&P 500 slipped 0.3% on the week, but the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 gained nearly 1%.

Inflation Cools, But Nobody Believes It

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the last week of April and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferreds gained over April as risk sentiment turned positive in the absence of further bank tremors.
