Morning Commentary: PennyMac bringing new preferreds; secondary slips; Colony declines

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, June 27 – Talk of a new deal in the preferred stock market proved true Tuesday, as PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust announced plans to sell $75 million of series B fixed-to-floating rate cumulative redeemable preferreds.

Price talk is 8% to 8.125%, a market source reported.

A trader saw the issue around $24.75 in the early gray market.

As for the company’s existing 8.125% series A fixed-to-floating rate cumulative redeemable preferreds (NYSE: PMTPrA), they were off 24 cents, or nearly 1% at $25.48 at mid-morning.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. and RBC Capital Markets are running the books.

The dividend rate will begin to float on June 15, 2024. The paper also becomes redeemable on that date.

Proceeds will be used to fund the company’s business and its investment activities, to repay debt, to repurchase outstanding common stock under a share repurchase program and for other general corporate purposes.

Traders had been predicting on Monday that a non-rated real estate investment trust deal could be seen in the market with a new deal as early as Tuesday.

The secondary was trending lower, even as market indicators came in mixed.

The Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities Index was up 4 basis points. But the U.S. iShares Preferred Stock ETF was down 8 bps.

Colony NorthStar Inc.’s 7.15% series I cumulative redeemable (NYSE: CLNSPrI) were losing ground, falling 14 cents to $25.53 in early dealings.

Capital One Financial Corp.’s 5.2% series G noncumulative preferreds (NYSE: COFPrG) were also weaker, sliding 8 cents to $24.65.
