What are Wall Street analysts saying about Eagle Point Credit stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Eagle Point Credit stock:
- 1. National Securities analysts commented, "• ECC offered $60.0 million of 6.675% 2028 notes with a $9.0 million overallotment option that we expect will be exercised in full by the underwriters. The proceeds from the notes will be used to redeem the $60.0 million of 7.00% 2020 notes outstanding. Eagle Point’s cost of capital has continued to decline materially and deservedly so, in our opinion.
• As the company has continued to perform well despite a challenging reinvestment environment for CLO managers and continues to add to its public track record the market has taken notice. ECC has borrowed for five years longer at 31 bps cheaper relative to its 2020 notes that were issued in 4Q15.
• We expect that the company decided to push out the term of its borrowings and lock in attractive financing in anticipation of credit spreads widening. In the event spreads do widen and the company taps debt markets again, it will likely be at a higher cost with a shorter duration (likely 5 years). We expect that the company will utilize a couple common equity offerings between now and the end of 2019, requiring only another 5-year note issuance of $50.0 million priced at 6.00% in 3Q19.
• ECC posted a portfolio update with its NAV/share estimate and earnings (NII + realized gains) per share estimates. The earnings per share estimate ranged from $0.48 - $0.52 for 1Q18, above our previous estimate of $0.46. As a reminder, last quarter, CLO equity purchases had a weighted average effective yield of 17.25% compared to weighted average yield on the existing CLO equity portfolio at cost of 14.42%, largely due to the rock bottom cost of CLO debt. We expect that this trend has continued as the average AAA discount margin in March fell to 97 bps from 106 bps in January 2018, according to Thomson Reuters LPC.
• We are revising our 2018 NII+realized gains/share estimate to $2.05 from $1.97 and our 2019 NII+realized gains/share estimate to $2.29 from $2.28. " (4/19/2018)
