The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research)Angel Oak Mortgage REIT Inc.AOMRTOP PICKJan 30, 2025

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

AOMR invests in first lien mortgages not qualified for conventional financing within the US.  It provides a tax effective distribution combed with a return of capital.  As such its  robust dividend has a high payout ratio.  We like that cash reserves are holding steady as the company aggressively retires debt.  It trades at 8x earnings, under book value and supports a ROE of 29%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.00, looking to achieve $12.50 -- upside potential of 21%.  Yield 12.5%  

(Analysts’ price target is $12.21)

Interest revenues grew 30% over the year.  The company was able to offer 5 securitized offerings over the year - bettering their goal of one per quarter.  It trades at 8x earnings, at book value and supports a ROE of 11%.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $8) to $9, looking to achieve $12 — upside potential of 20%.  Yield 7.6%
