BTIG analyst Douglas Harter maintained a Buy rating on Dynex Capital yesterday and set a price target of $12.00.
Douglas Harter has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, even though the quarter was challenging on the surface. Dynex’s earnings available for distribution modestly exceeded his estimate, and book value came in essentially as expected, with performance better than or comparable to key Agency mREIT peers despite a double‑digit negative economic return.
He also highlights that management is actively managing risk and growth, as seen in the expansion of the investment portfolio, increased leverage and a larger hedge position that reduces interest‑rate sensitivity. In addition, Dynex’s capital raises via common and preferred issuance appear modestly accretive to book value, supporting balance‑sheet strength and its high dividend, and he maintains a $12 price target, unchanged from prior levels.
In another report released on October 7, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $12.50 price target.
