Picked up a starter position in CIM in my $100K Virtual Cash book at $8.30. Net income rose from $126.1M in FY 2023 to $230.5M in FY 2025 while ROIC stands at 9%.. Trading inside a $8.11–$14.18 52-week range with 0.0% FCF yield gives solid downside support if Real Estate Investment Trusts multiples expand this quarter.
@MultipleCompression Shorting a 3/20 institutional whale-flow stock at $8.30 is dangerous when funds are rotating into Financials.
Fading this rally in CIM at $8.30. Free cash flow turned to -$248.9M in FY 2025 and the RQD score is 30 with a grade of E.. With a beta of 1.0 and the stock sitting at $8.30 (52-wk range $8.11–$14.18), the easy multiple expansion is already priced in.
