Two Harbors Investment baby bond offers an attractive yield of 8.88% with lower risk than common and preferred shares. TWO's strong capital buffer, high cash flow coverage, and 64% Agency MBS portfolio provide robust protection for TWOD investors. TWOD stands out in the mortgage REIT sector with one of the best equity-to-debt ratios and a stable dividend history.

Agency mREITs capitalized on wide mortgage spreads by issuing equity and buying agency-backed mortgages, leading to significant mark-to-market gains as spreads tightened. Dynex and AGNC Investment expanded portfolios via equity issuance, benefiting preferred shareholders through increased equity cushion, though common shares face dilution. AGNCZ, AGNC's new Series H preferred, offers an 8.75% yield and is attractive for income investors; Armour and Two Harbors preferreds also present upside potential.

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the fourth week of August and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferreds credit spreads are near 5-year lows with yields on a downward trajectory as well. American Equity Life's ANG.PR.B preferred is likely to be redeemed soon, offering limited downside and extra accrued interest for holders.

Two Harbors' Q2 results were weak, with a sharp book value drop and poor hedging, highlighting the mReit's volatility and high leverage risks. TWOD baby bonds are structurally sound but currently overpriced, offering limited upside and heightened downside risk if market conditions worsen. Retail investors should avoid chasing TWOD at current stretched prices and instead wait for a more attractive entry point near par value.
