Two Harbors Investment baby bond offers an attractive yield of 8.88% with lower risk than common and preferred shares. TWO's strong capital buffer, high cash flow coverage, and 64% Agency MBS portfolio provide robust protection for TWOD investors. TWOD stands out in the mortgage REIT sector with one of the best equity-to-debt ratios and a stable dividend history.
Two Harbors Investment is an mREIT focused on residential mortgage backed securities and mortgage servicing rights. Q3 2025 reported earnings will reflect the residual impact of a $375 million settlement with the company's former advisors from Pine River. This shifts investors' focus on Q4 2025 earnings, which should show the early benefits of lower repurchase agreement financing costs.
TWO reported a severe 17.2% BV decrease, underperforming my expectations, mainly due to a negative legal ruling and hedging decisions. Core earnings/EAD modestly outperformed, driven by lower net interest expense, higher servicing income, and effective hedging income. Despite the BV drop, I maintain a 4.5 risk/performance rating, as most negative impacts were anticipated and already reflected in my prior downgrade.

Two Harbors' new TWOD baby bond offers a 9.375% yield but carries below single-B credit risk. Two Harbors has underperformed both its sector and the S&P 500, raising concerns despite recent management changes and analysts' optimism. Interest coverage for TWOD is currently decent, but sector and fixed-income comparisons suggest better alternatives exist from healthier companies.
We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the fourth week of April and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferred stocks had a strong week, driven by lower Treasury yields and credit spreads, with the sector average yield now below 7%. Evaluating preferreds requires forward yield analysis due to varying payment terms and potential shifts in coupon.

Although the revenue and EPS for Two Harbors Investments (TWO) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended March 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Two Harbors Investment Corp. is a troubled mREIT with poor total return performance, high leverage, and recent dividend cuts, making its common stock a risky investment. The company has three preferred stocks, with TWO-A offering the best high-yield allocation due to its superior SOFR spread and calculated net present value higher than the other two. Despite higher current yields, TWO-C is overvalued compared to TWO-A and TWO-B, highlighting frequent mispricing in fixed-to-floating securities.
