CIM's fixed-to-floating preferred stocks, trading below par with yields above 10.2%-10.8%, now present a superior risk-reward profile versus baby bonds. Leverage has increased to 3.3x, raising risk, but CIM maintains a solid credit buffer and stable portfolio fundamentals.

Chimera Investment Corporation preferred C shares offer a 10.39% floating yield, trading at 97.8% of our buy target.

Chimera Investment Corporation offers four cumulative preferreds, each with distinct coupon structures and call features for yield-seeking investors. CIM-B currently provides the highest yield among the preferreds at 10.4%, likely due to its position in the call sequence and floating rate add-on. None of the preferreds offer official call protection, and CIM has no history of calling its preferreds, impacting yield and call risk assessments.

Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) preferred share CIM-A is significantly overpriced, trading at 110.7% of the buy target despite a 9.27% stripped yield. CIM-B offers superior value with a 10.24% stripped yield, trading near its buy target and providing better income for similar risk. The fixed-rate feature of CIM-A is not worth the current premium, especially with alternative fixed-rate securities available at more attractive valuations.

Despite strong dividend and portfolio growth, CIM's book value discount persists due to market skepticism about near-term rate cuts.
