Sentiment: Negative

Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.

Market volatility has increased, making it challenging to predict future Treasury rates and impacting the frequency of my article publications. Price-to-book ratios reveal bargains. Preferred shares offer lower risk and high yields; recent trades in DX-C and EFC-B have been profitable.

Sentiment: Neutral

A bunch of mortgage REITs were severely overvalued. Now they are less overvalued. But some others are actually bargains. Tons of charts because images are fun. Ellington Financial's higher price-to-book ratio may be due to lower volatility in the total economic return by period. Digital Realty Trust deserves to be mocked. I am reporting for duty!

Ellington Financial: History Of Cuts Explains High Yield
EFC
Published: March 12, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

Ellington Financial offers a high 11% yield but has a history of dividend cuts due to interest rate fluctuations and financing issues. The investment strategy includes a portfolio heavily weighted towards credit assets, with significant leverage and non-recourse HMBS-related obligations. The future outlook hinges on Federal Reserve rate cuts improving interest spreads, but high leverage poses liquidity risks, especially with potential repurchase obligations.
