  1. “In accordance with the terms of Rithm Capital’s Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B”), the Board declared a Series B dividend for the fourth quarter 2024 of $0.6660461 per share, which reflects a rate of 10.425%. The Series B Preferred Stock accrue dividends at a floating rate equal to three-month CME SOFR (plus a spread adjustment of 0.261%) plus a spread of 5.640%.”

    $0.6660461 * 4 / 25 = 10.65%

    1. Nice, r2s.

      I differ with their rate on RITM-A too.
      $0.6763961 * 4 /25 = 10.82% (not 10.587%).

      I wonder – for years, RITM preferreds’ divvies went ex- around the 13th day of Jan, April, July, and October. The new divs go -ex at the END of the January, not ~Jan 13. That’s 3 months + ~17 days. Maybe their rates (10.425% for -B and 10.587% for -A) reflect that it’s more than 3 months.

    2. …for any Dividend Period during the Floating Rate Period will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed in such Dividend Period.

      10.425%/360*92=$0.6660417
      $0.6763961/92×360/25=10.587%

      Looks pretty close to me

      That’s another advantage of floating rate deals as the effective yield is a bit higher than the stated coupon.

      1. Gary,

        I just checked RITM-As page on QOL. I don’t see 11% anywhere.
        I only see a yield for it in the “Cpn Rate / Ann Amt” box. There, it says “Fixfloat, $1.88” which is the annual div when it was fixed at 7.5%.

        1. mbg – its not in the “boxes” on the QOL page, its at the top of the page in the line with price, etc. (right above the chart).

          Its a feed they pickup from somebody (can’t recall whom – I think its the same one Tim uses) that is supposed to show yield at current price
