Medallion Financial Corp.'s new 9% preferred, MBNKO, offers high yield but comes with substantial credit risk. Medallion Financial's high leverage, weak capital structure, and inconsistent dividend history raise red flags for preferred shareholders. Relative to peers, MBNKO's risk/reward profile is unattractive for me, with a below Single-B implied credit quality and longer duration.
Medallion Financial (MFIN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.50 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.32 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.42 per share a year ago.
