Nomura Securities initiates coverage on American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $21.00.
Analyst Brock Vandervliet commented, "AGNC faces similar headwinds as its peers, including the threat of higher interest rates driving up funding costs and a yield curve that continues to flatten, squeezing net interest spreads. Despite these factors, AGNC has delivered five years of consistently higher economic returns than peers. The company also has a strong management team with experience at Freddie Mac, and has opportunistically capitalized on “dollar roll,” an off-balance sheet financing structure."
