Citizens JMP analyst Steven DeLaney lowered the firm’s price target on MFA Financial (MFA) to $11 from $12 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The second quarter exhibited significant market volatility amid new tariff and trade announcements and economic uncertainty, but despite the intra-quarter volatility, quarter-over-quarter levels for interest rates and spreads showed only modest changes, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees moderately lower book values for most agency REITs and relatively stable book values for the hybrid REIT group.
