New York Mortgage reports Q2 EPS (29c), consensus 3c

Reports Q2 adjusted book value per share $11.02. Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Recent interest rate market activity is falling in line with moderating inflation and an expected slowing of the economy, as evidenced by a 29 basis point decline in the 2-year Treasury yield from its second quarter peak. In anticipation of these events, we continued our capital rotation plan to divest from lower current yield portfolio assets while simultaneously utilizing excess liquidity to raise Company recurring income. This resulted in second quarter Adjusted Interest Income of $84 million, a 63% increase from the same period in 2023. With potential excess liquidity of $424 million, or 42% of NYMT‘s market capitalization at the end of the second quarter, we are focused on meaningfully raising current income in subsequent quarters.”
