    Is a secondary offering in the offing for American Capital Mortgage (MTGE +1.6%)? At $24.73, shares are trading at a 13.5% premium to the last stated book value (March 31). At that sort of spread, the only question regarding a large secondary seems to be when? (via Dividend Master)

  • It will likely be priced below current market price and the stock price will drop accordingly. The average retail buyer looks at it as dilutive. Nevertheless, it will be used to either reduce leverage or to acquire additional assets, and will ultimately (and usually in a relatively short time) be accretive. Great time to buy.

  • AGNC did this in the last quarter and they recovered the PS much quicker than I expected. I am guessing the offspring will be similar.

    Long on AGNC, MTGE

  • Hope they do. Own the sponsor ACAS and every offering increases management fees.
