Compass Point maintains a 'Buy' on Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp (Farmer Mac) (NYSE: AGM) price target of $41.00.

Analyst, Mike Turner, said, "AGM reported GAAP EPS of $2.04 and Core of $1.08, which was $0.03 ahead of our expectation, though the beat was mostly attributed to a difference in tax rate. Program assets and expenses were in-line with our expectation and credit quality remained strong. That said, the net effective spread of 94 bps was 8 bps below our expectation. As the spread can bounce by 8-10 bps per quarter, we reserve judgment for the call as to whether this is a trend, or due to general lumpiness."
