Huge Yields, Brief Notes
Preferred shares rallied, as predicted. Finding value is getting much harder. There are some common shares trading at discounts. Some big, some tiny. I would be interested in a few of the agency mortgage REITs, but the ones I would prefer remain unavailable. The valuation between those good ones and some of the weaker ones (as measured by things like destruction of shareholder wealth and me not liking them) is still small sometimes.

A Preferred Share Worth Scrutinizing From Chimera
CIM-A's 8% coupon rate and 8.6% strip yield are overshadowed by limited upside and better alternatives, making it an unattractive investment above $23.20. The potential upside for CIM-A is capped at around 7.7%, with low likelihood of being called unless interest rates drop significantly with the economy remaining very strong. Baby bonds from Chimera Investment Corporation offer superior benefits, including mandatory interest payments, higher capital stack priority, and over 9% yield to maturity.

Preferred Stock Of Chimera Is Reasonably Valued, Despite Its Outsized Return
I recommended Chimera Investment Corporation's preferred stock for its 10% dividend yield and wide margin of safety, resulting in a 46% total return since April 2023. With inflation cooling and interest rates decreasing, Chimera's preferred stock remains attractive, offering a floating yield of 10.1%. Chimera's preferred dividend is safer than its common dividend, supported by historical resilience even during severe economic downturns.

Select High Yield Preferreds Remain Opportunistically Priced
Recent macroeconomic changes, including the yield curve uninverting and Fed rate cuts, have significantly impacted REIT preferreds, leading to price increases and varied forward return potentials. Despite overall price rises, select REIT preferreds remain deeply discounted, offering high yields and substantial capital appreciation potential. Mispricing due to accrued dividends and variable rate conversions presents lucrative opportunities in preferreds.

A Decisive Realignment
U.S. equity markets soared to record highs this week after President-elect Trump scored a surprisingly decisive election victory, including a likely "trifecta" of Republican legislative control in Congress. The outcome sparked powerful moves across global financial markets as investors priced in a combination of domestic-focused and "pro-growth" economic policies but also reflected concern over deficits and immigration policy. Characteristic of the "Trump trade" dynamic, smaller-cap companies led the surge, outperforming mega-cap technology and international-heavy peers. The S&P Small-Cap 600 soared 9%, outpacing 5% gains from the S&P 500.
