AGNC Investment preferred shares are currently overpriced, with none meeting my buy criteria at present valuations. AGNCO stands out for its 9.03% stripped yield and strong 4.993% floating spread, but remains about 2.5% above my buy target. Call risk is a critical factor. AGNCO is less exposed than AGNCN, but both present negative worst-cash-to-call scenarios at current prices.
