UBS reiterates a 'Neutral' on Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) price target of $16.00.

Analyst, Dean Choksi, said, "NLY reported core EPS of $0.44, excluding $0.08 of realized gains, which was below our estimate of $0.47 and consensus of $0.49. NLY continues to harvest portfolio gains to support its dividend ($0.55 in 1Q) as spread income from the portfolio declines due to lower leverage and higher prepays. Book value ticked up $0.12 to $16.18 which was modestly better than expected after declining in the prior two quarters. We believe shares are fairly valued at a 2% premium to BV."

UBS lowers FY12 EPS from $2.09 to $1.98 and FY13 from $2.26 to $2.03.
