SamE PREF's relative underperformance compared to ORD has been getting a bit worse lately. And finally, today, it went down below -2.0σ on a 20-day moving average.
This much diversion is the first in recent months, and the pref discount is close to last year's peak. The dividend yield difference is also the widest in recent years.
The current diversion appears to be a byproduct of the SamE overbuying amid the recent market rally, and we should expect a quick reversion.
