EIC: Reduced Dividend, But Greater Appeal
EIC remains a buy despite recent distribution cuts and price decline, offering a compelling 12% yield and monthly payouts for income-focused investors. Shares now trade at an 8.5% discount to NAV, a rare opportunity given EIC's historical premium, enhancing long-term value for patient investors. EIC's fundamentals are strong: low default rates, diversified portfolio, and recurring cash flows that comfortably cover distributions, even after the dividend reduction.
Eagle Point Income: Let's Talk CLOs
EIC invests mainly in junior debt of CLOs, offering higher yields with managed risk, and has outperformed ECC with stable NAV and distribution sustainability. EIC focuses on broadly syndicated loan CLOs, which are more liquid and transparent, while selectively investing in higher-risk CLO equity. The CLO market is robust, with private credit funds growing rapidly, potentially benefiting BSL CLO performance by shedding lower-rated borrowers.
Eagle Point Income Company: Assessing Yield Sustainability
Eagle Point Income Co Inc. offers a 15.8% yield by investing in junior CLOs and using leverage, but this comes with significant risks. The fund's distribution sustainability is questionable, as it has relied on unrealized gains to cover payouts in recent years. Lower interest rates and economic downturns pose substantial risks to the fund's income and distribution stability.
Eagle Point Income: CLO Funds Are Still On The Menu
Eagle Point Income is a buy despite recent drops, driven by external factors and market volatility from the new US administration. CLOs bundle low-rated loans, offering different risk levels; EIC invests in the BB tranche, focusing on corporate debt. EIC's portfolio is diversified across 1,466 obligors, primarily in the tech and healthcare sectors, with a forward yield of 16%.

Bargain Securities From NewtekOne And Eagle Point Income Company
At our Conservative Income Portfolio service, I specialize in uncovering relatively mispriced/undervalued preferred stocks and bonds that often fly under the radar and that should significantly outperform similar securities. In this article, I present two very undervalued high yielding baby bonds from NewtekOne and the evidence that I have to declare them very undervalued. Additionally, I will present two term preferred stocks from Eagle Point Credit Company, which offer an 8% yield to maturity for an investment that I consider quite safe.
Preferreds Weekly Review: Embedded Options And Redemption Likelihood
We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the first week of October and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferred stocks saw slight declines as Treasury yields rose, but year-to-date returns remain strong, outperforming REITs and BDCs. Lower-priced preferreds offer better capital gain potential and are more attractive due to lower negative convexity compared to higher-priced counterparts.
EICC: Compared To Other 2029 Choices, I Have Downgraded My Rating To Sell
I am downgrading Eagle Point Income Company Inc. NT 29, trading under EICC, from Buy to Sell due to poor yield comparisons and coverage ratio. EICC's primary investment objective is high current income, investing mainly in junior debt tranches of CLOs, with a secondary focus on capital appreciation. Compared to other 2029 maturing issues, EICC offers the least yield and coverage, with RWTO providing the best yield-to-call and coverage.
Eagle Point Income: 15% Yield On Common Stock, 8% On Preferred Stock
Eagle Point Income's strong balance sheet ensures the preferred equity is well covered, with a healthy 311% asset coverage ratio at the end of June. The focus is on preferred shares, particularly EICA, with plans to add EICC for longer duration. The common stock yields 15.4%, but dividend payments may stagnate or decrease as market interest rates drop.
