Investing.com - RBC Capital has raised its price target on Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY) to $23.00 from $21.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week high of $22.45 with a strong YTD return of 29%, has shown remarkable momentum. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears slightly undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.
The firm cited a potentially steeper yield curve as a positive factor for Annaly in its macro outlook. RBC Capital also expressed favor for the company’s well-diversified capital allocation, including its MSR portfolio, and strong liquidity position. With a substantial 12.73% dividend yield and a 29-year track record of consistent dividend payments, the $14.16B market cap company maintains a "GOOD" Financial Health Score on InvestingPro, which offers comprehensive analysis through its Pro Research Report.
RBC Capital fine-tuned its 2025 EAD per share estimate to $2.92 from $2.81 and its 2026 EAD per share estimate to $3.06 from $2.88.
The price target revision to $23 was primarily driven by a downward revision in target multiple given a more favorable market backdrop, according to the firm.
The new target is based on 1.18x RBC’s 2025 BVPS estimate of $19.46, compared to the previous target which was based on 1.08x its 2025 BVPS estimate of $19.44.
