Mortgage REITs and BDCs had varying performances in Q3 2023, with agency mortgage REITs performing the worst and BDCs performing the best. Originator/servicer mREITs and RC outperformed their peers in terms of book value changes. Investors should focus on BDCs and preferred shares for long-term positions, as they generally have fewer dividend cuts.

REITs experienced significant gains, outperforming other sectors. Investors are hesitant to own REITs during rising interest rates but don't want to miss out when rates fall. There's no time between rates falling and REITs rising. Lower interest rates can lead to higher profits and dividend growth for equity REITs, making them more attractive to income-seeking investors.

Volatility in Treasuries is causing issues for analysts as it affects share prices and fundamentals. The market forecast for inflation has not changed significantly in the last six months, indicating belief that inflation is under control. Mortgage REITs are experiencing declines in book values, particularly agency mortgage REITs, due to interest rate risk.

Rising interest rates pose challenges for many REITs by impacting debt rollovers and investor alternatives. Higher rates will add around $2 billion to the national debt over the next decade. Even more if they create a recession. Apartment construction is declining, affecting rental unit supply and potentially leading to increased rental rates. Pretty obvious when you think about it.

AGNC has a higher dividend yield and consensus earnings yield compared to DX, but I strongly doubt this will lead to superior returns.

Rates Up, REITs Down. Commercial and residential real estate markets remain an easy transmission mechanism - or "punching bag" - of the Federal Reserve's historically swift monetary tightening cycle. Higher For Longer? The business models of many private equity funds and non-traded REITs were not designed for a period of sustained 5%+ rates or double-digit declines in property values. "Hope" is the only strategy for some highly-levered property owners amid a dearth of buying interest and dwindling refinancing options. CRE transactions and capital market activity has dipped to GFC-era-lows.

We're picking one share with a big discount to book value and a reasonable dividend payout ratio relative to book value. The market may be misreading this dividend payout as plenty of sites are reporting a different value. Seeking Alpha is accurate. On the other hand, one of the darlings in the sector is far less attractive.
