MFA LONG - UPDATE with more levels to watchWithin 90 Days PT #1 : $3.38 PT #2 : $3.78 Within 180 Days PT #3 : low $4.00 range PT #4 : $4.54 Stock has been beaten up last couple of weeks because of ER miss and they did not reinstate a dividend for their common stock. In essence, they gave notion they will pay a dividend before October in order to avoid excise tax (REITS must have a % of taxable income to shareholders). Preferred stocks are up because they will be paying a dividend to preferred stock holders. MFA will be required to pay 90% of their taxable income by October, as of now they have a taxable income of .10 cents per share. This would mean that a minimum 9 cent dividend would need to be paid by October to avoid a 4% excise tax; This amount can increase if taxable income increases, too. (This is to the best of my knowledge. Correct me if I am wrong). Their BV is ~$4 and has a bit more potential to move up (recovering unrealized losses) depending on credit spreads going forward. They have deleveraged, and are in a position to leverage themselves with assets as the markets direction in the near future becomes more clear. Funding has gotten more expensive but marginally. They've reduced the MBS exposure and are running a portfolio of whole loans which protects MFA if things begin to get worse. In the short term, I expected them to come out of forbearance on or around June 26th (end of the month) which they did. I believe that they will reinstate their dividend relatively soon, and before October. Depending on how much it is and the progress MFA / Economy has made will dictate as to how far they will run. With another stimulus package looming I feel this is bound to break to the upside. If some type of enhanced unemployment benefits get extended past July, I believe you will see a small pop in mortgage reits as risk may tick up a little bit.

In essence, they gave notion they will pay a dividend before October in order to avoid excise tax (REITS must have a % of taxable income to shareholders). Preferred stocks are up because they will be paying a dividend to preferred stock holders. MFA will be required to pay 85% of their taxable income by October, as of now they have a taxable income of .10 cents per share. This would mean that a minimum 8.5 cent dividend would need to be paid by October to avoid a 4% excise tax; This amount can increase if taxable income increases, too.

MFA TO $4-4.5 (BULL)yo yo back in action, hope everyone had a good weekend so MFA is a cool one, I used to trade it before covid shut down. Right now it is flagging pretty well, as long as it stays in that triangle we can expect a bullish breakout. As of right now (June 22nd) the stock futures are down so if we see a negative impact tomorrow morning (June 23rd) we can see this tank with the overall market as it did during the shutdown. Not too much volume so the movement wont be as fast to 4 dollars. They did better than expected on earnings and are said to be coming back stronger so keep that in mind. 2.50 is support from what I can tell but again it can tank with the market. Let me know how it goes if you get in. thanks this is not financial advice, this is simply my analysis that you can use to your discretion. trade smart! good luck :)
