Wunderlich Securities Maintains MFA Financial Hold, $8.25 PT (MFA)

Wunderlich Securities maintained its MFA Financial MFA Hold rating and $8.25 price target in a research report published today. In the report, Wunderlich Securities states, "A balance sheet financing of $1.3 billion of its non-agency MBS in the quarter increased financial leverage, but evolving capital requirements limit the potential to increase its ROE using debt financing. Consequently, we believe MFA's risk-adjusted returns could continue to lag those of other mortgage REITs." Shares of MFA Financial were trading at $8.05 at the time of posting, up 0.88% from Monday's market close.
