Analyst projections of the future price of Ellington Financial stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Adjusted distributable earnings were $0.45 a share in Q3, above the $0.39 quarterly dividend, supporting the current payout even as market conditions weakened. The company also reported $40.4 million of net income attributable to common shareholders. (SEC)
The core investment portfolio showed improving carry and growth: its net interest margin rose to 3.55% from 3.36%, while the adjusted long portfolio expanded 4.5% quarter on quarter. Delinquencies also fell year on year, offering some evidence that growth has not come at the cost of weaker credit performance. (SEC, The Motley Fool)
EFC raised $150 million through senior notes, with a yield spread about 70 basis points tighter than its prior-year issue, and said the proceeds help reduce reliance on secured, mark-to-market funding. Moody’s also moved its rating outlook to Positive, signalling improved confidence in the company’s funding profile and asset quality. (SEC)
Longbridge’s adjusted distributable earnings fell to $8.6 million from $28.9 million in Q2, as narrower origination margins and fewer proprietary reverse-mortgage securitisation gains outweighed higher loan volumes. That sharp swing makes this earnings contributor less dependable quarter to quarter. (Ellington Financial Inc.)
Recourse debt-to-equity rose to 2.2 times from 1.9 times, while total debt-to-equity reached 9.4 times. Only 25% of recourse borrowings were long-term and non-mark-to-market, leaving the company exposed to refinancing and collateral pressures if markets turn against it. (SEC)
The portfolio has sizeable exposure to non-QM loans and residential transition loans, which made up 38.8% and 19.0% of the long portfolio, respectively. EFC reported negative results in warehoused non-QM loans and residential transition loan retained tranches, alongside losses in CMBS and real estate owned, highlighting the risk of asset-specific write-downs. (SEC)
