Bulls say / Bears say

Earnings available for distribution was $0.80 per share in the third quarter, above the $0.75 dividend, and the payout has been covered for nine straight quarters. Management expects earnings to exceed the dividend again in the fourth quarter, supporting the income case. (The Motley Fool)
Wider Agency mortgage spreads have improved the prospective returns on new investments: management put new-money returns in the mid-to-high teens. If spreads stabilise or narrow, Annaly could benefit from stronger portfolio returns and book value recovery. (The Motley Fool)
Annaly’s residential credit platform is producing substantial volume, with record quarterly loan fundings of $5.8 billion and $7.4 billion of securitisations. The loan pipeline had an average FICO score of 766 and loan-to-value ratio of 67%, giving the business a sizeable flow of loans while maintaining stated credit standards. (The Motley Fool)
Book value per share fell 11.4% to $17.86 in the third quarter, and Annaly recorded a negative 7.6% economic return as higher rates and wider mortgage spreads hurt asset values. Another bout of spread widening could cause further losses. (Business Wire, The Motley Fool)
Leverage rose to 5.9 times on an economic basis from 5.6 times, while GAAP leverage increased to 8.0 times from 7.4 times. With less equity cushioning its large portfolio, further asset-value declines could put more pressure on the balance sheet. (Business Wire)
Funding costs are rising faster than asset yields: the economic cost of funds increased seven basis points in the quarter, while net interest margin fell seven basis points. EAD exceeded the dividend by only five cents per share, so continued cost pressure could narrow its coverage. (The Motley Fool)
