Annaly common shares outperform preferreds and peers
The guest argued that Annaly Capital Management's common stock is a more attractive income play than its preferred shares or peers like PennyMac due to its low volatility and superior portfolio management.
The argument
The guest explained that because mortgage REITs hold government-insured securities, credit risk is minimal, making management's ability to handle market risk the primary differentiator. He noted that Annaly manages this risk better than PennyMac, and its common shares offer a more attractive yield than its preferreds without excessive volatility.
