Why I Love This Stock

By:barrons3

Date:12 27 08

Merrill Lynch has several adjustable-rate issues outstanding. The largest is Series L, which trades near $8.55 a share, or 34% of last year's original offering price of $25, for a current yield of 11.70%. The dividend resets quarterly at half a percentage point above three-month LIBOR, now about 2%. But the minimum annual dividend rate is 4% of face value of $25, or $1 a share. Other Merrill preferreds with fixed rates carry similar or lower yields. The adjustable-rate issue arguably should yield less than straight preferreds, because its dividend can only go up. ONE FAN OF THE ADJUSTABLE-RATE issue says it could double in the next year if the financial crisis abates. The issue traded in June at $15. Indeed, all Merrill preferreds could trade up once the company's scheduled merger with Bank of America goes forward. The deal has been approved by shareholders of both companies and could close by year end.
