New 10-Year TIPS Auctions With Lowest Real Yield Since 2016
A new 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Security - CUSIP 9128287D6 - auctioned today with a real yield to maturity of 0.282%, the lowest yield for any auction of this term since September 2016.
This new TIPS got an auction-generated coupon rate of 0.250%, down a stunning 62 basis points since a similar auction on January 17. It is evidence of the market's quick adjustment to potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which could begin later this month.
Investors at today's auction paid about $99.76 for about $100.11 of value, after accrued inflation is added in. This TIPS will have an inflation index of 1.0011 on the settlement date of July 31.
A TIPS is a Treasury investment that pays a coupon rate well below that of other Treasury investments of the same term.... more

Expecting An Increase In Hanmi Financial Corp.'s Dividends
Dividends of Hanmi Financial Corp (HAFC), the parent of Hanmi Bank, have increased consistently since 2013. We expect the trend to be maintained for 2019 as well because we expect HAFC's earnings to continue to surge in 2019. We expect the bank's dividends to increase by 8.9% in 2019 providing a forward dividend yield of 4.84%. Our valuation analysis also shows that the bank is currently undervalued. We expect price appreciation of around 17.7% in the next six months.
Earnings to Rise in 2019 on the Back of Earning Assets Growth
We expect HAFC's earnings to increase by 9.3% in 2019 on the back of an increase in net interest income. Our expectation of increase in net interest income is attributable to an increase in earning assets, which in turn will be driven by a rise in... more

Yield Curve Concerns Are Yet Another Worry For Synovus
Georgia-based Synovus (SNV) continues to confound me. I realize that it’s not the best-run bank in the region, and I realize there are outsized risks in buying an aggressive, fast-growing Florida bank like FCB with large exposure to Florida real estate at or near the peak of the cycle, but the bank’s operating performance since the deal has been pretty steady and it seems to me that the Street continues to price in an ugly scenario of curve-based spread compression and elevated credit losses.
Credit quality is one of those “you don’t know until you know … you know?” risks with any bank, and I do think there is downside risk for Synovus here as the rate cycle reverses course and the Fed starts an easing cycle. It would seem to take a pretty grim set of assumptions to... more

Co-produced with Trapping Value and Beyond Saving for High Dividend Opportunities
Introduction
We are pleased to provide an update on Iron Mountain (IRM), a "specialty REIT". IRM has pulled back recently due to a downgrade by Bank of America.

Recent Pullback
In April, we wrote an article about investing in specialty REITs, where we identified REITs that operate in niche markets where they have little competition and the potential for those niche markets to remain strong... more
