BGB Securities maintains a 'Buy' on MFA Financial Corp. (NYSE: MFA). Price target increased from $6.90 to $7.50.
BGB analyst says, "MFA announced a 14% increase in its quarterly dividend, from $0.22 in 1Q09 to $0.25 in 2Q09. We had estimated that MFA would reach this run rate during 3Q09, but market trends were evidently more favorable during the quarter than we had conservatively estimated. We are increasing our earnings estimate for 2009 from $0.95 to $1.00 per share, based on the evidence from the dividend announcement for the second quarter which exceeded our expectations by $0.02 per share...We recommend the shares based on a strong cash yield and the potential for relatively modest price appreciation."
