We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the second week of July and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferreds outperformed broader markets last week; sector credit spreads have tightened, making valuations expensive and yields less attractive. Bonds offer more protection than preferreds, but preferreds provide higher yields; choice depends on issuer quality, tax treatment, and investor objectives.
NYMTH offers a high 9.875% yield, but the increased leverage and risk premium signal deteriorating credit quality versus prior NYMT issues. New York Mortgage Trust's financial trends—rising leverage, weak interest coverage, and underperformance—raise red flags for fixed-income investors. NYMTH is priced near par with no upside potential, and sector comparisons show no compelling relative value for this new note.
New York Mortgage Trust is a mREIT increasing its reliance on net interest income, pivotting away from direct real estate investments. The company's NYMTI and NYMTG baby bonds offer par value discounts of 2-3%, underperforming the high-yield bond HYG ETF so far this year. Coverage of payments to senior unsecured noteholders has improved in recent quarters.
