Ready Capital: Distress And Opportunity, Why I Bought The Series E Preferreds

  • I've been accumulating RC's 6.50% Series E Preferreds, amid a significant year-to-date selloff. They're trading for 62 cents on the dollar and offer a 10.5% dividend yield. RC common shares are down 40% year-to-date, while the E preferreds have dipped 16%. I think the selloff is overdone and the preferreds provide a compelling risk-to-reward profile at their current level.
