New York Mortgage reports Q1 undepreciated EPS (68c), consensus 12c

Reports Q1 adjusted book value per share $11.51. Jason Serrano, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The March 2024 U.S. GDP report surprised the market with a lower-than-expected growth rate of 1.6%, signaling potential late-stage cycle conditions in the U.S. economy. Without further depletion of U.S. consumer savings in the first quarter, GDP could have been 100 bps lower. We expect slow-to-moderate growth for the rest of the year with an increasing risk of recession. In response, we continue to take a balanced approach to opportunities by intentionally lowering credit exposure or by avoiding identifiable risks. We believe that fixed income investments, particularly short-duration mortgage credit and Agency RMBS, continue to provide compelling returns in this economic backdrop.”
