$RITM delivered a steady Q1. Book value and adjusted earnings matched expectations, but the long-awaited spin-off news? Still missing. With asset management cooling and MSR valuations slipping, we’re watching how the rest of 2025 unfolds. #mREITs#Earnings#Dividends
$ARR posted a stable Q1: book value matched expectations, and core earnings ticked slightly higher. But no April update in the release and our models suggest a sharper BV drop may be coming. Watching closely. #mREITs#Earnings#Dividends#InterestRates
PMT posted a mixed Q1: book value dipped slightly, but net interest spread outperformed. Guidance came down a bit, and originations dropped. Still, the spread is holding up. Valuation looks fair — we��re holding for now. $PMT #mREITs #Earnings
Dynex Capital (DX) did something rare in 2025: hit expectations. Book value and earnings were nearly spot on. Capital was deployed smartly, and core income’s climbing. Boring? Maybe. But in this market, boring looks pretty good. $DX #REITs#Earnings#mREITs
Agree Realty (ADC) delivered a solid Q1: AFFO beat by $0.02, guidance nudged higher, and they’re issuing shares way above NAV to fund accretive growth. Fundamentals are strong . valuation? Not so much. Great REIT, great quarter… pricey stock. $ADC #REITs#Earnings
MAIN posted a steady Q1: NAV and NII matched expectations. Share issuance at a premium boosted NAV, though that premium slipped from 90%+ to ~68%. Non-accruals ticked up slightly, as forecasted. Still strong ops, but valuation remains steep. Holding for now.
CSWC posted a solid Q1: NAV slightly beat, adjusted NII slightly missed. Credit metrics improved, but likely due to write-offs. After a long stretch of being overvalued, shares now look fairly priced. We’ve moved from Sell to Hold. Watching for a better entry.
Posted a new article on AGNCP preferred shares. It's a better deal than some of AGNC's preferred shares, but the valuation still isn't low enough to excite me:

@averageguymedia Can you share some insight on medium? How are the average views? I can see you've been working hard to publish a bunch of articles on the platform.
$RC is going to cut their dividend. This was well within our range of what we thought would happen. Further, it was already priced into the stock.
Nothing surprising.
$MAIN's quarterly NAV was basically as expected. MAIN’s quarterly NAV experienced a minor increase which was mainly the result of continued accretive equity issuance.
MAIN’s quarterly NII was a minor underperformance (within range). This was likely mainly due to MAIN reporting a modest increase in non-accrual loans (even more than I anticipated).
mREIT Glossary for anyone reading our analysis and not knowing all the terms. Here you go:
NAV = Net Asset Value
BV = Book Value. Generally equals NAV for mREITs and BDCs.
MBS = Mortgage-Backed Security. A type of asset securitization which is secured by a pool of underlying mortgages. The mortgages are aggregated and sold to a group of individuals that securitize/package the loans together into a security that investors can buy.
TBA = To-Be-Announced. A contract to buy (or sell) a MBS on specified forward date.
CPR = Constant/Conditional Prepayment Rate. A monthly/quarterly/annual/lifetime estimate of the percentage of a loan pool's principal that is likely to be paid off prematurely.
NDR = Net Dollar Roll Income (Expense). The difference in price between the current delivery month of a MBS and the next delivery month (the “price drop”). The equivalent of accrued interest income (expense) of an on-balance sheet MBS investment.
MSR = Mortgage Servicing Right
Interest Rate Payer Swaps = The company pays a fixed interest rate and receives a variable interest rate. These are used to hedge interest rate exposure.
Interest Rate Receiver Swaps = The company receives a fixed rate and pays a variable rate. Can offset payer swaps.
Interest Rate Swaptions = Option contracts to enter into underlying payer/receiver interest rate swaps.
EAD = Earnings Available for Distribution. Interchangeable with Core Earnings.
FMV = Fair Market Value. Interchangeable with Fair Value/FV.
CECL = Current Expected Credit Loss. A recently-enacted accounting impairment model whereas management estimates expected credit losses over the life of all underlying investments not recorded at FMV (and books a reserve) as opposed to strictly actual/realized losses that have occurred.
ASC = Accounting Standards Codification
REO = Real Estate Owned. When pertaining to this sector, typically a procedure where a mREIT assumes legal title/possession of the underlying collateral/property through a foreclosure (or deed-in-lieu) process.
LTV = Loan-to-Value
EPS = Earnings Per Share
CRT = Credit-Risk-Transfer
GOS = Gain-On-Sale
ERTI = Estimated REIT Taxable Income
IRC = Internal Revenue Code
QM = Qualified Mortgage
Gaming and Leisure Properties $GLPI has outperformed the sector over the past 5 years, despite challenges during the pandemic.
GLPI's market implied cap rate is around 7.4%, compared to recent acquisitions at 8.3% to 8.4% cap rates.
GLPI's growth in AFFO per share has been slower than other REITs, though their focus on acquisitions and reduced leverage have positively impacted their performance.
