MFA vs. ETF Alternatives
Company Description
GENERAL
We are primarily engaged in the business of investing, on a leveraged basis, in residential Agency and Non-Agency ARM-MBS. At December 31, 2009, we had total assets of approximately $9.627 billion, of which $8.758 billion, or 91.0%, represented our MBS portfolio. At such date, our... More

- Friday, May 10, 2:39 PM Gary Kain-led American Capital Agency (AGNC -2.8%) and American Capital Mortgage (MTGE -2%) lead the decline in an all-red mREIT sector (MORT -1%) today, with AGNC taking out its post-earnings low from last week. On the earnings call, Kain said upward pressure on rates had cooled to start Q2 and book value was headed higher, but markets may not be cooperating. The 10-year yield is up 8 bps today to a near 2-month high. Others: Annaly (NLY -1.2%), Invesco (IVR -1.2%), MFA (MFA -1.8%), Western Asset (WMC -1.3%). 12 Comments [Financials, On the Move]

Friday, May 3, 7:25 AM
A check of some other mortgage REITs premarket after AGNC reported a big loss in Q1: NLY -1%, IVR -0.4%, HTS -0.7%, CYS -0.7%, MFA -0.3%, CMO -2.3%, DX -1.8%, WMC -3.3%.
3 Comments [Financials, On the Move] - Monday, March 4, 9:33 AM MFA Financial (MFA) gains 1.4% after figuring out prior periods' income exceeded distributions paid to shareholders. The company declares a $0.50 special dividend and updates its book value to $9.40 on Jan. 31 from $8.99 a month earlier. (PR) 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 9:40 AM It's a jittery mortgage REIT sector as last night's election assures the Fed will continue to strangle the leveraged operators' net interest margins. Annaly (NLY -2.8%) - the purest of the pure-play agency REITs - still reeling from Monday's poor earnings, leads to the downside. AGNC -2%, TWO -2.3%, HTS -2.1%. 27 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 10, 2012, 9:46 AM Mortgage REITs continue to slide - NLY -1%, AGNC -2%, HTS -2.3%, to name 3 - the sector revaluing itself for what must surely be significant dividend cuts. The Fed's MBS purchases - likely to help book values and dividend maintenance in the short run - are vaporizing net interest margins. Absent a big jump in leverage, returns must fall. 58 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, August 6, 2012, 9:32 AM More on MFA Financial (MFA): Book value/share as of June 30 is $7.45, down $0.04 from March 31. Average CPR (prepayments) 18.17% in Q2, up from 16.43% in Q1. President William Gorin notes prepayments on non-agency MBS (about 40% of portfolio) are accretive to book value due to their discounted purchase price. Q1 dividend was $0.23/share. Shares -1.4% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, July 30, 2012, 10:54 AM Newcastle Investment (NCT +2.9%) regains all and more of its big decline following last Wednesday's secondary offering. The company is the latest in a series (I, II, III, to name a few) of mortgage REITs issuing shares at prices well above book value. The firms take these proceeds and invest them in higher-yielding assets - the result being increased book value. 1 Comment [Financials, On the Move]

Joseph P. Porter: NLY is getting creamed. Have a stop @ 17.25 still. Should go x-div soon, so would like to hold as long as I lose nothing. RNF looks nice.
