Monday, June 17, 4:40 PM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) declares $0.70/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 15.49 %. For shareholders of record June 28. Payable July 31.Ex-div date June 26(PR) 2 Comments [Dividends]
Monday, June 17, 4:38 PM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) maintains its payout, declaring a $0.70/share Q2 dividend for an annualized yield of 15.5%. The current stock price of $18.08 compares to March 31 book value of $21.72/share. Shares +0.6% AH. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Breaking News]
Tuesday, June 4, 9:28 AM More from CYS Investments at KBW (previous): The speed (page 9) with which mortgage rates have increased in unlike anything seen even during the financial crisis, says CEO Kevin Grant. He muses over whether Bernanke's May testimony (taper) was confused messaging or an intentional market test. The punishment inflicted on mREITs (MORT) is well-known, but don't forget: Refinance activity will crater - gain on sale windfall to banks may be over, home affordability is now diminished, banks will be pushed to Treasurys over credit risk as the ROE on government paper is now improved. Grant's talk (webcast) is one all mREIT investors will value. 25 Comments [Financials]
Tuesday, May 28, 1:33 PM Growing thoughts of a tapering and then ending of QE∞ triggers panicky selling in the mREIT sector (MORT -2.3%) as Treasury yields hit their highest level in more than a year (the 10-year at 2.12%), and mortgage prices slide as well (MBB -0.4%). Leading the way is a 5.3% decline in American Capital Agency. Annaly (NLY -2.7%), Two Harbors (TWO -3%), Anworth (ANH -2.2%), Western Asset (WMC -4.7%), Apollo Residential (AMTG -3.7%), Javelin (JMI -4.3%), Invesco (IVR -1.8%), MFA Financial (MFA -1.5%). 83 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
Thursday, May 23, 3:01 PM Agency MBS fail to bounce from the "massive liquidation" following Bernanke's testimony yesterday, according to CIBC's Tom Tucci. Suggestions of a tapering of Fed purchases sent Fannie Mae MBS with 3% coupons to their lowest levels of the year. "Right now it seems the only source of demand is the Fed," says BAML's Brad Scott. Unsurprisingly, pure agency mREITs like AGNC and ARR hit 52-week lows today. Annaly (NLY) - now diversified into the commercial space with the CXS purchase - outperforms. 13 Comments [Financials]
Monday, May 20, 3:11 PM The Russell 2000 (IWM) cracked 1,000 for the first time this morning, but the small cap sector is far from over-loved by the fund managers who invest in it, according to Credit Suisse's Lori Calvasina - they ended Q1 with cash holdings at a near 10-year high. Indexing (IJR, IWO, IWN XSLV are some others) beats most active management, but Calvasina screened for stocks owned by fewer than 50 small-cap funds with $500M-$1.5B market cap, and with favorable investment ratings. No surprise the answer is heavy on mREITs - MTGE, AMTG, PMT. Also coming up: OMX and WFR. Comment!
Tuesday, May 7, 1:33 PM Sharply higher following earnings, Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG +2.7%) management notes (CC transcript) the fortunate timing of its capital raise - in early March just as spreads had widened - allowing it to put money to work at attractive prices. Management would like RMBS securitizations to be a growing part of the business, but pricing has moved quite a bit and the firm is not at the moment finding opportunities like the one just completed (its first). 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
Monday, May 6, 4:48 PM More on Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) Q1 earnings: Agency portfolio of $4.9B on March 31, with estimated fair value of $4.3B. Non-agency portfolio estimated fair value of $595.8M. $589.5M of MBS sold during quarter, netting a gain of $0.61/share. Net interest spread of 2.8%, up from 2.7% in Q4. Company got into the MBS securitization business in Q1. Book value/share of $21.72, down from $22.49 on Dec. 31. Conference call tomorrow at 10 ET. Shares +0.4% AH. (PR) Comment!

Thursday, April 18, 11:17 PM Mortgage REITs (MORT) catch the eye of D.C., with the Financial Stability Oversight Council reportedly set to cite the industry as a potential source of market vulnerability. The companies have seen assets quadruple to over $400B since 2009, but Annaly (NLY) CEO Wellington Denahan notes their capital bases have risen as well. A Two Harbors (TWO) presentation (page 8) shows mREITs are relatively small players in the MBS market. Maybe the Fed and the GSEs just don't like the competition. Annaly and American Capital (AGNC) are the 2 biggest mREITs, with Two Harbors a distant 3rd. 42 Comments [Financials]
Monday, March 18, 5:25 PM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) declares $0.70/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 12.60%. For shareholders of record Mar. 28. Payable Apr. 30. Ex-div date Mar. 26. (PR) 2 Comments [Dividends]
Monday, March 18, 4:55 PM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) declares a Q1 dividend of $0.70/share, unchanged from last quarter. (PR) Comment! [Financials]
Monday, March 11, 8:52 AM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) has its price target upped to $24.50 from $23 at Compass Point, with the target price representing 1.1x Dec. 31 book value. The concerns regarding agency MBS investors are "tailwinds" for non-agency players. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, March 8, 9:20 AM Apollo Residential Mortgage (AMTG) prices its 6.8M share secondary. No price is disclosed, but the shares -2.2% to $22.18 should give an idea. (PR) Comment! [Financials, On the Move]

$AMTG is at a 17% discount to book. Perhaps the 107 price on their 3.5% FNMA and continued insistance on CPR protected securities hurts them
