High Yielding Chimera Investment Corp and ARMOUR Residential REIT Brace for Changing Credit Trends
The Bedford Report Provides Equity Research on Chimera Investment Corporation & ARMOUR Residential REIT
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/05/12 -- In late 2011, shares of high yielding REITs were more volatile than usual after Fitch Ratings published its fourth-quarter 2011 REIT Report Quarterly. Fitch declares that 2012 will be a "pivotal" year for the U.S. REIT sector, as the ratings firm warned that this year may finally be the one that Fitch "revises its outlook on the U.S. equity REIT sector after nearly two years of stable credit trends." The Bedford Report examines the outlook for diversified REITs and provides equity research on Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) and ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (NYSE: ARR). Access to the full company reports can be found at:
On December 29, 2011 the Fed's survey of senior credit officers found a "broad, but moderate tightening of credit terms" to large market participants over the past quarter, particularly noting REITs, hedge funds, and non-financial corporations. According to the survey "respondents reported an increase in the degree to which more-favorable terms were offered to most-favored clients across most client types."
The Fed's "Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey" notes that trading REITs invest in assets backed by real estate rather than directly in real estate assets.

In 2012 the Real Estate Investment Trust space could see heightened M&A activity, The Wall Street Journal reports. Real-estate investment trusts raised a record-breaking amount of equity in 2011, which the Wall Street Journal says analysts believe will "be used to pursue acquisitions."
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, REITs issued $37.5 billion in initial and additional common and preferred shares last year, up 32 percent year-on-year and was the largest amount of REIT stock issued since the securities were established more than fifty years ago.
