Market cap $741M

I focus on 65 high-yield, cash flow-positive "Dividend Dogs" in articles posted in January and February, emphasizing safety and value based on free cash flow yield exceeding dividend yield. Analyst targets suggest potential net gains of 19.72% to 110.60% for the top ten picks by February 2027, with an average estimated return of 36.04% on $10k invested. 47 out of 65 stocks meet the "safer" criteria, with annual dividends from $1k invested exceeding single share prices, and all are currently fair-priced.

Minimal Credit Risk: Agency MBS are guaranteed by GSEs. Historically, MBS prices rise during economic downturns, leading to higher book values and sustainable payouts for mREITs. Despite a recent rally, Agency MBS spreads remain attractive compared to the 40-year historical average.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADAM) (“Adamas” or the “Company”) today announced the following tax treatment of common and preferred stock dividends paid in 2025. This information is provided to assist stockholders with tax reporting requirements related to dividend distributions of taxable income by the Company.

Adamas Trust (ADAM) offers a compelling 10.8% yield on its ADAMM preferred shares, standing out among its nine income options. Despite steady net interest income growth and expanding the investment portfolio, ADAM faces heightened leverage and liquidity risks if rates rise. I remain cautious on ADAM common shares due to persistent book value declines and a history of dividend cuts.

Adamas Trust has issued a new 9.25% Senior Note due 2031, offering a 9.54% yield to maturity at $25.05. ADAMO's IPO credit spread is over 50 bps lower than ADAMH's, signaling improved underwriter confidence compared to six months ago. ADAMO offers the longest duration among ADAM's baby bonds and is priced in line with sector peers, not under distress.

Adamas Trust, Inc. 8% RED PFD D, ticker ADAMN, offers high yield but exhibits the weakest payment and coverage ratios among peer mREIT preferreds, resulting in a Sell rating. ADAMN's payment ratio stands at 2.7x and the coverage ratio at 1.6x, well below the 10x comfort threshold for risk mitigation. While ADAMN features a superior floating rate formula to some peers, its risk of missed payments and principal loss is materially higher.
