Chimera Investment PFDs Update: CIM-C Now Gets The Buy Rating

Chimera Investment Corporation offers four cumulative preferreds, each with distinct coupon structures and call features for yield-seeking investors. CIM-B currently provides the highest yield among the preferreds at 10.4%, likely due to its position in the call sequence and floating rate add-on. None of the preferreds offer official call protection, and CIM has no history of calling its preferreds, impacting yield and call risk assessments.

9% Dividend Yield Looks Great Until You See 10% From Chimera

Losers Of REIT Earnings Season

Weakness Was More Company-Specific Than Sector-Wide: Empire State Realty's Observatory shortfall, JBG Smith's adverse Wardman Tower ruling, Community Healthcare's dividend cut, and several troubled mortgage portfolios drove some individual downside. Mortgage Stress Hasn't Fully Cleared: Commercial mREIT book values fell nearly 5% on average as office, lab space, and multifamily credit problems persisted for some sponsors.
