Monday, May 13, 1:04 PM Dynex Capital (DX) CEO and hedge funder Tom Akin says goodbye to Nationstar Mortgage (NSM +1.6%) after a near-tripling in price over the last year. "Don't want to be there when the Fed whispers less QE ..." 2 Comments [Financials, Quick Ideas]
Friday, May 3, 12:42 PM "Loving (the) mREIT (MORT -2%) pullback," says Tom Akin, who - in addition to being CEO of Dynex Capital (DX) - runs an income-focused hedge fund. A longtime bull on Newcastle Investment (NCT -0.5%), Akin says if it drops below $5 post the New Residential spinoff, it's the one to buy. In when-issued trading, NCT is at $5.10 (NRZ's at $6.67). 14 Comments [Financials, Quick Ideas]

Thursday, May 2, 11:38 AM Dynex Capital (DX +1.5%) continues higher post-earnings as management makes its case on the earnings call (presentation). The company's allocation to commercial mortgages (now 61% of portfolio) insulates it from prepayment risk and overall CPR has remained fairly flat amid the refi boom of the last 2 years. At $10.68, the stock is at a 1.7% premium to book, a slightly higher valuation than hybrid REITs, but well less than commercial and non-agency REITs. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]

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]
Wednesday, April 17, 1:01 PM Often a spot to hide during big selloffs, mortgage REITs (MORT -2.3%) slide sharply as well, particularly the hybrids (exposed to credit risk through non-agency MBS holdings). IVR -2.3%, TWO -3.3%, DX -2.5%. The sector giants: NLY -2.2%, AGNC -1.3%. One trader reminds mREITs are small caps and the Russell 2000 (IWM -2.2%) has been particularly hard hit of late. The 10-15% yields offer a nice palliative. 2 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
