Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nly#NYSE">NLY</a>) is benefiting from an improvement in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The company&#39;s prudent asset selection will drive its performance. However, the current market volatility and interest rate fluctuations are near-term worries. Additionally, the company&#39;s dividend reduction and an unutilized share repurchase program highlight concerns regarding capital distribution.
NLY&#39;s investment strategy is driven by the prudent selection of assets and effective allocation of capital to achieve stable returns. The company&#39;s investment strategy involves traditional Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which provide downside protection, as well as investments in more non-agency and credit-focused asset classes that aid in enhancing returns. Also, a scaled MSR platform will continue to benefit from a low prepayment environment. As of Mar 31, 2024, its investment portfolio aggregated $87.5 billion.
Further, the company is focused on diversifying its investment portfolio. The company seeks to stabilize and diversify its investment portfolio through investing in Agency MBS and residential credit. NLY&#39;s strong liquidity position enables it to reinvest in the franchise. In 2022, it sold its Middle Market Lending portfolio and exited its commercial real estate business. Through these exits, Annaly was able to enhance capabilities across its core housing finance strategy.
Further, Annaly is focusing on improving its liquidity and reducing leverage. The company showcased a strong liquidity position in the first quarter of 2024. The company maintains an unencumbered asset portfolio, aggregating $5.3 billion, which can readily provide liquidity in times of adverse market conditions. Hence, with a decent balance sheet, the company is well-equipped to support its business, even in times of economic stress and market volatility.
NLY enjoys a diverse funding profile in the industry. Its main sources of financing are repurchasing agreements and various forms of equity. Arcola Securities, its wholly-owned subsidiary, enters repurchase contracts on behalf of the company. This helps it enjoy flexibility in the opportunistic enhancement of its portfolio. Annaly maintains a strong presence in the residential securitization market through its residential credit business. This will enable the company to capitalize on the improving outlook for residential mortgage finance. This will support Annaly&#39;s asset generation strategy.
Shares of Annaly have declined 2.7% over the past six months compared with the industry&#39;s decline of 11.1%.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/32/70760.jpg?v=435863113" />

At present, Annaly carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
The operating performances of mREITs depend on conditions prevalent in the broader financial markets and the macroeconomic situation. Any volatility in the mortgage market, unfavorable changes in the shape of the yield curve, interest-rate volatility and deterioration of the generic financial conditions may affect the performance of the company&#39;s investments. The Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged and scaled back its forecast from three rate cuts to just one this year after an inflation pickup in early 2024. This might not serve as a good indicator for the company.
Annaly&#39;s capital distribution plans keep us apprehensive. In January 2022, it was authorized with a $1.5-billion share repurchase plan, valid through Dec 31, 2024. However, the company has not repurchased shares under this plan since the announcement. Moreover, it slashed its first-quarter 2023 cash dividend by 26% to 65 cents per share due to a moderation in earnings available for distribution. Earlier, amid the pandemic-led market volatility, Annaly slashed its second-quarter 2020 dividends by 12% to 22 cents in June 2020.
<h3>Stocks to Consider:</h3>
A couple of better-ranked stocks are Ellington Credit Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/earn#NYSE">EARN</a>) and Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cim#NYSE">CIM</a>).
Earnings estimates of Ellington Credit Company have been revised upward by 2% over the past 60 days. In the past six months, EARN&#39;s shares have gained 13.4%. Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Earnings estimates for Chimera Investment Corporation have been revised upward by 14.6% for 2024 over the past 60 days. Shares of CIM have gained 6.7% over the past three months. Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

<h3>What is a Value Stock?</h3>
A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock. 
<h2>Benzinga Insights has compiled a list of value stocks in the real estate sector that may be worth watching:</h2>
<ol>
<li>RMR Gr (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMR#NASDAQ">RMR</a>) - P/E: 7.47</li>
<li>Seven Hills Realty Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEVN#NASDAQ">SEVN</a>) - P/E: 6.71</li>
<li>Corporacion Inmobiliaria (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTMX#NYSE">VTMX</a>) - P/E: 9.48</li>
<li>Comstock Holding Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHCI#NASDAQ">CHCI</a>) - P/E: 6.74</li>
<li>Chimera Investment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIM#NYSE">CIM</a>) - P/E: 9.34</li>
</ol>
This quarter, RMR Gr experienced an increase in earnings per share, which was $0.48 in Q4 and is now $0.49. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 5.84%, which has decreased by 0.79% from 6.63% last quarter. 
Seven Hills Realty Trust saw a decrease in earnings per share from 0.37 in Q2 to $0.36 now. The company's most recent dividend yield sits at 10.27%, which has decreased by 2.85% from 13.12% last quarter. 
Corporacion Inmobiliaria saw a decrease in earnings per share from 0.01 in Q2 to $0.0 now. Comstock Holding Co's earnings per share for Q3 sits at $0.46, whereas in Q2, they were at 0.05. Chimera Investment saw an increase in earnings per share from 0.12 in Q2 to $0.13 now. Its most recent dividend yield is at 8.98%, which has decreased by 2.63% from 11.61% in the previous quarter.
The Significance: A value stock may need some time to rebound from its undervalued position. The risk of investing in a value stock is that this emergence may never materialize.

5 Value Stocks In The Real Estate Sector

Chimera Investment's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIM#NYSE">CIM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.87% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.54 million shares sold short, which is 2.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.26 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Chimera Investment Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1704120319_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Chimera Investment has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Chimera Investment's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Chimera Investment's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.42%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
