CIMN: Performed As Expected, Still A Buy

  • CIMN, a senior unsecured note from Chimera, experienced a -4% drawdown, outperforming the company's preferred equity and other mREIT bonds during recent market turmoil. Its performance aligned with expectations based on BB high-yield spreads, demonstrating its resilience and predictable behavior in volatile markets. Despite being rated BBB by Egan-Jones, CIMN trades as high-yield debt, with a 9% coupon reflecting market perception.
