Federal Agricultural Mortgage

AGM

Market cap $1.72B

Federal Agricultural Mortgage remains a long-term buy despite weak Q4 results driven by higher loan loss provisions. AGM's net interest income grew over 10% YoY, and the loan portfolio quality remains robust, with 92%-98% classified as "acceptable." I continue to hold and add to both AGM common and preferred shares, viewing the current preferred yield of 6.6% as attractive.

Farmer Mac shares plunged 14% after an earnings miss, but I view the current price as a compelling entry point. AGM's core earnings grew to $182.9M in 2025, but rising nonaccrual loans and a $33M increase in loan loss provisions raised concerns. Portfolio growth is shifting toward non-agricultural sectors like power, utilities, renewable energy, and broadband, driving a 15% increase in shareholder equity.

I initiated a position in Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AGM) preferreds, specifically series F, due to an attractive yield and relative value. AGM preferreds currently offer a yield north of 6.8%, about 2% above the 30-year Treasury, with spreads wider than historical norms. I see the recent spread as a sentiment-driven opportunity, not a sign of fundamental stress, given the farm sector's low leverage and AGM's strong loan-to-value metrics.
