Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC) price target of $33.00.

Analyst, Bill Carcache, said, "We continue to see significant value in AGNC shares, which trade at just 1.10x book and generate a stable $1.25 quarterly dividend. Our target price and dividend projections suggest that AGNC will produce total returns of ~35% for full-year 2012 despite the uncertain macro environment."

"We believe AGNC is hands down the best managed agency mortgage REIT in the market today. Key to AGNC’s success is the leadership of Gary Kain, Chief Investment Officer. Recent meetings with Mr. Kain lead us to believe he’s fully engaged and has positioned AGNC to continue to outperform under various scenarios."
