Buying This 9.0%-Yielding Mortgage REIT On The Drop Is A No-Brainer

This company is a strong buy on the drop. Dividend coverage and upside tied to its variable-rate loan portfolio are the two single biggest reasons to invest in it. Shares are rather cheap after the latest drop. An investment in the stock yields 9.01 percent.

Starwood Property Trust (STWD) is a strong buy on the drop. The commercial mortgage REIT has very robust dividend coverage, and, most importantly, positive interest rate sensitivity that could result in a dividend hike in a rising rate environment. Starwood Property Trust's shares are very sensibly valued after the latest drop in valuation that had nothing to with the company. An investment in Starwood Property Trust yields 9.01 percent.
