Rithm Capital delivered robust Q4 results, with distributable earnings exceeding expectations and asset management revenues surging over 323% quarter-over-quarter. RITM's dividend is exceptionally well covered, with a Q4 coverage ratio of 296%, reflecting strong earnings and a resilient investment platform. The company's evolution into a diversified alternative asset manager, surpassing $100B in investable assets, underpins its high-quality, high-yield profile.
Rithm Capital may be the best-managed mREIT. RITM has greatly outperformed the sector over the last 5 years and pays a nice dividend yield of 9.45%. RITM has been focusing on becoming a large asset manager and moving away from simply being an mREIT. This means a likely conversion to a C corporation structure. A change to a C corporate structure means that dividends on its preferred stocks would become “qualified,” giving RITM preferred stocks huge after-tax yields.
Rithm Capital Corp. preferreds are compared, with Series C retaining a Buy rating, but Series F also merits consideration. RITM.PR.C offers a 9.4% yield and is attractive below Par, balancing yield and call risk for long-term investors. The recent acquisition of Paramount Group expands RITM's commercial real estate platform and supports future growth ambitions.
Rithm Capital's preferred share RITM-D offers a 7.07% yield and a yield-to-call near 8.3%, with a reset rate likely around 10%. I see a high probability of RITM-D being called or trading above $25 as the 11/15/2026 call date approaches, especially if Treasury rates hold. RITM-D is currently slightly attractive; a 1.5% price decline would make it a strong buy due to improved yield-to-call.

RITM.PR.F: An 8.75% Fixed-Rate Reset Preferred IPO From Rithm Capital
RITM heads into Q4 with shaky servicing revenue, putting pressure on earnings despite strength in asset management.
RITM remains a great income Buy here, supported by the discounted valuations, the low EAD payout ratio, and the consequently rich/secure dividend yields. The recent acquisitions and capital raises position it for $109B pro forma investable assets, as the management shifts away from pure mortgage origination/servicing opportunities. Otherwise, readers may look forward to near-term top/bottom-line noise, attributed to mixed hedging/net interest income prospects from the Fed rate cuts and the near-term integration costs.
Rithm (RITM) concluded the recent trading session at $11.35, signifying a +1.34% move from its prior day's close.
