• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. invests primarily in residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by a United States Government-chartered entity. " (1/10/2017)
• 2. National Securities analysts commented, "2Q16 Recap: Armour Residential REIT (ARR) reported 2Q16 core EPS of $0.63 versus consensus of $0.71 and our estimate of $0.70. Book value per share was up 4.8% Q/Q to $25.71 from the accretive purchase of Javelin and the continued moves downward in interest rates coupled with derivative positions being reduced. We expect another quarter of book value appreciation before it continues its previous trajectory – down. We expect an economic gain of 3.7% for 2016 and then an economic loss of 1.9% in 2017 from anticipated declines in book value. D/E (debt-to-equity) decreased to 7.0x in 2Q16 from 9.1x the quarter prior. The par mix of the portfolio was 11.6% non-agency as of 6/30/16 and we expect this to increase to 19.1% by year-end 2016 and to 27.0% by year-end 2017. We expect leverage to range from 6.0x – 6.3x from 3Q16 through 4Q17. All-in effective yield will be 3.23% in 2016 and 3.47% in 2017, in our opinion, from 2.80% in 2015. While the non-agency yields are significantly higher, we expect spread compression to continue in both agency and non-agency assets which will likely weigh on NIM (net interest margin) and core earnings. We are revising our 2016 core EPS estimate from $2.83 to $2.66 and our 2017 core EPS estimate from $2.70 to $2.63. We are reiterating our SELL rating and $16 price target. Our $16 price target implies an estimated 2017 Price/Core Net Income (P/E) of 6.1x, dividend yield of 16.5%, and Price/Book Value (P/B) of 0.70x compared to the mREIT sector averages of 8.6x, 10.6%, and 0.80x, respectively.
