PFF - Mortgage REITs To Sell

November, 18 2020 07:20 PM iShares U.S. Preferred Stock

Bearish ratings on mortgage REITs? Sure, we’ll go bearish on MITT and ORC. Price-to-book ratios are way too high compared to peers.

MITT has been roaring higher. Say hello to the highest price-to-book in the sector. It comes with a 0% dividend yield and poor upside.
In this series, we’re providing readers with the discounts to trailing book values throughout the sector and a few notes on the current environment.
When we provide an index card for an individual mortgage REIT, it includes our most recent estimate on book values.
