Ellington Financial: Shifting To The Series C Preferred Shares, Yielding 8.6%
Ellington Financial's Series C preferred shares offer a high yield of 8.6% and are the best choice for income investors. Lower interest rates in late 2024 boosted Ellington Financial's net interest income, and further rate cuts in 2025 could enhance profitability by refinancing $4 billion in debt. Risks include potential declines in housing market prices, rising loan delinquencies, and geographic concentration in California and Florida, which could impact earnings.

Ellington Financial offers a high 11% yield but has a history of dividend cuts due to interest rate fluctuations and financing issues. The investment strategy includes a portfolio heavily weighted towards credit assets, with significant leverage and non-recourse HMBS-related obligations. The future outlook hinges on Federal Reserve rate cuts improving interest spreads, but high leverage poses liquidity risks, especially with potential repurchase obligations.
