MORT: A Strategic Buy For A Swing Trade (Rating Upgrade)
VanEck Mortgage REIT Income, a high-beta ETF, is deeply oversold due to recent market turmoil and rising bond yields, presenting a short-term swing trade opportunity. The fund's components, including Annaly, AGNC, and Starwood, are heavily influenced by rates and risk-on/risk-off dynamics, making them ideal for swing trading. Technical analysis indicates MORT and its components are oversold, with a target price of $10.5/share, reflecting a potential bounce.

The ETF is highly concentrated in mortgage REITs, making it risky and volatile, especially in the current economic climate influenced by tariff wars and Federal cuts. Within the Top 10 Holdings, there are 3 REITs that I recommend as Buys.

REIT Slope Adjustment Has Overshadowed Future Value Gains
Despite recent price declines, REITs' future value has increased due to higher rental rates, increased property values, and reduced competing supply. Higher market demanded returns have steepened the slope, causing REIT prices to drop despite improved fundamentals and future value. The price drop is driven by higher expected returns, not impaired future value, making current REIT valuations a buying opportunity.
