I spotlight the top five Dividend Power stocks with 'safer' dividends and attractive valuations, ideal for income-focused investors in July. My strategy prioritizes high earnings yield and dividend yield, aiming for stocks with reliable payouts and low valuations that can weather market downturns. Analyst forecasts project average net gains of 55.82% for the top ten DiviPower stocks by July 2026, with risk slightly below the market average.
Angel Oak Mortgage REIT (AOMR) gets its prior buy rating downgraded slightly to a hold, after a followup review. Positive metrics include new loan growth and solid profit margins. There is room for improvement in terms of dividend growth and operating cashflow, and further reduction of leverage risk.
AOMD offers a 9.75% yield, but lacks a credit rating and sits deep in junk territory, reflecting elevated credit risk for fixed-income investors. Angel Oak Mortgage REIT is highly leveraged, with weak sector performance and a history of dividend cuts, raising risk concerns. Compared to peer baby bonds, AOMD is fairly priced but lacks distinguishing features or superior credit quality.
AOMN notes saw a -6% drawdown as AOMR's common equity plunged -30%, driven by market risk-off sentiment, not fundamental weakness. Angel Oak's book value and loan portfolio fundamentals remain stable, but market volatility and mark-to-market accounting drive earnings swings. AOMR's structure exposes it to volatility due to holding mezzanine and subordinate tranches from its own securitizations, amplifying risk in downturns.

Angel Oak Mortgage REIT gets a buy rating in my initial coverage of this firm showing a +16% dividend yield this week and undervaluation. Other positives are a proven return on equity, the recent investment by Brookfield, and being in a market position to serve growing demand for liquidity in the mortgage sector. Risk factors to consider are exposure to a large book of loans and securitized mortgages, as well as exposure to collaterized debt liability.
