Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp.: I'm Buying The 6.4% Yielding Preferred Stock
Federal Agricultural Mortgage (Farmer Mac) maintains a conservative balance sheet, ensuring limited loan loss provisions and strong preferred dividend coverage despite rising interest rates. Preferred shares, particularly Series F, offer a 6.4% yield, which remains attractive given the potential for capital gains if interest rates decline. The bank's low payout ratio and substantial asset coverage make the preferred shares a relatively safe investment, even with a high preferred equity ratio.
