Annaly Capital: Value Remains, But May Become Collateral Damage In Trade War

  • Annaly Capital's exposure to geopolitical risk is high due to potential foreign MBS sales, particularly from China, Japan, and Taiwan, which could impact mortgage spreads. After the recent correction, Annaly's dividend yield and valuation remain attractive. With a 14.5% yield and a price near book value, it offers high-reward potential. The risk of increased mortgage delinquency has risen, but is mitigated by strong bank demand for MBS and potential government intervention.
