Chimera Investment PFDs Update: CIM-C Now Gets The Buy Rating
Chimera Investment Corporation offers four cumulative preferreds, each with distinct coupon structures and call features for yield-seeking investors. CIM-B currently provides the highest yield among the preferreds at 10.4%, likely due to its position in the call sequence and floating rate add-on. None of the preferreds offer official call protection, and CIM has no history of calling its preferreds, impacting yield and call risk assessments.
9% Dividend Yield Looks Great Until You See 10% From Chimera
Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) preferred share CIM-A is significantly overpriced, trading at 110.7% of the buy target despite a 9.27% stripped yield. CIM-B offers superior value with a 10.24% stripped yield, trading near its buy target and providing better income for similar risk. The fixed-rate feature of CIM-A is not worth the current premium, especially with alternative fixed-rate securities available at more attractive valuations.
