We Are/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction MFA Financial ( MFA ) is a real estate investment trust that specializes in the investment of mortgages, also known as an mREIT. Like other mREITs, MFA offers a high-yielding dividend on its common shares and has two preferred shares and two baby bonds ( MFAN ) and ( MFAO ). The two preferred shares have two different payment structures, with one offering a fixed payment (MFA.PB) currently yielding 9.33% and a floating payment (MFA.PC) currently yielding just over 10%. Back in September, I pointed to the premium yield in the Series C preferred shares as a reason for income investors to put their money there. Today, the yields are comparatively the same, but with the threat of interest rates rising due to recent inflation shocks, the Series C preferred shares could offer income investors a good hedge against inflation risks. Excel API MFA Financial Earnings Recent declines in interest rates have yet to benefit MFA Financial. The company’s yield on assets declined by 30 basis points in the fourth quarter to 6.20% and was down 44 basis points from a year ago. Borrowing yields, or cost of funds, also dropped but by less than asset yields, at 24 basis points on the quarter to 5.05%. The average cost of funds is 55 basis points higher than a year ago, reflecting that the company’s need for additional financing has come at a price. Company Financial MFA Financial has clearly taken on leverage in the pursuit of margins, and that is best expressed by looking at both the net interest spread and margin. In the fourth quarter, the net interest spread fell to 1.15%. This is a nearly 100 basis point decline from a year ago. When incorporating leverage, net interest margin’s decline is a little less dramatic, although it did decline by 26 basis points in the fourth quarter to 2.31%. Company Financials Investors should not be surprised that these trends are leading to an impact on net interest income. Interest income rose to $190 m...

Wall Street strategists expect a robust increase in the Treasury’s coffers this week as Americans pay their taxes, potentially putting pressure on relatively calm US funding markets. While the short-term markets that underpin the nation’s financial system have been quiet this year amid the Treasury’s seasonal reduction in bill issuance and official maneuvers to boost liquidity, the status quo stands to be jolted by individuals and companies pulling cash from banks and money markets in order to meet tax obligations. Strategists estimate that tax payments due April 15 will bolster the Treasury’s cash balance to more than $1 trillion this month, the most since October. That would mark a sharp inflow from $703 billion on April 10, the latest government data show. All that cash must come from somewhere, and the removal of liquidity often drives up funding costs. The rate on overnight general collateral repurchase agreements for Wednesday’s session traded around 3.75%, up from less than 3.7% for much of the year, according to Wrightson ICAP. Still, alongside less bill supply, liquidity has also gotten support from the Federal Reserve’s reserve‑management purchases going into this period. The Fed in December began buying about $40 billion of Treasury bills monthly, with Chair Jerome Powell saying at the time the Fed was “front-loading” its purchases to ensure there were enough reserves through the April tax season. Since then, bank reserves have grown to $3.18 trillion, the largest since Aug. 27, according to the latest Fed data. The Fed this week announced it will now buy about $25 billion of bills each month, marking a faster wind-down than anticipated and signaling reserves are at a level where funding markets can withstand extreme moves. “We think that the April tax season can be managed,” said John Velis , foreign‑exchange and macro strategist at BNY Melon. He pointed to New York Fed’s Roberto Perli’s observation that recent heavy usage of the Fed’s standing repo faci...
