Palisades Closes Multi-Originator Home Equity Investment Securitization
HEIs represent a rapidly growing alternative to traditional debt-based financing for homeowners. The asset class has gained increasing relevance amid record levels of U.S. homeowner equity and rising interest rates that have made traditional cash-out refinances and second liens less economic and affordable for average consumers.
'This securitization is an exciting next step in the maturation of the HEI market,' said Jack Macdowell, Chief Investment Officer of Palisades. 'Millions of U.S. homeowners are sitting on historically high levels of untapped equity, yet many face limited options for accessing that wealth without taking on new debt. HEIs offer a creative, consumer-aligned solution, providing liquidity without increasing monthly obligations. This transaction helps bring much-needed capital efficiency and scalability to the space.'
The SOLVE 2025-HEC1 transaction reflects the successful unlocking of institutional capital for alternative residential credit products while also promoting financial flexibility for homeowners.
'Since the introduction of a formal rating methodology by Morningstar DBRS in July of 2023, the market has made meaningful strides — culminating in this first rated, multi-originator securitization,' said Nirvan Ghosh, Senior Portfolio Manager. 'We believe it's an important milestone for the asset class. As investors gain familiarity with the underlying credit, structures like this will be critical for improving liquidity, transparency, and ultimately, the cost of capital across the ecosystem.'
Nomura Securities International, Inc. acted as sole structuring lead and joint bookrunner. Texas Capital Securities served as joint bookrunner, and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as co-manager.

Why AMC Stock Is Soaring Today
Wedbush boosted its rating on AMC Entertainment stock from neutral to outperform and raised its price target. The firm's analyst was impressed with AMC's recent moves to improve cash flow and reduce debt. Despite improved analyst sentiment, the company's negative equity, years of unprofitability, and weak theater attendance make its stock a risky pick. 10 stocks we like better than AMC Entertainment › Shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) are jumping on Friday, up 10.6% to $3.32 as of 2:05 p.m. ET. At that point in the session, the S&P 500 was off by about 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was flat. A ratings upgrade from Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter appeared to be the driving force behind the movie theater chain's stock move. On Friday morning, Wedbush's Pachter upgraded AMC shares from neutral to outperform and raised his 12-month price target on the stock from $3 to $4. The analyst cited an upcoming film release schedule that's more consistent than what we've seen recently. He also pointed to AMC's lead in premium screens in North America as an advantage that could help it capture more market share, as well as the company's expansion plans in the U.K. and the European Union. Pachter was also impressed with AMC's cost-cutting efforts, which have included closing underperforming theaters., That boosted its bottom line, allowing it to reduce its debt and eliminating its need to issue additional shares in the near future. AMC stock has a lot of loyal fans who, despite the company's troubles, see a bright future for it. Their support has turned it into a meme stock. But I'm not convinced by their bullish views. The company's balance sheet is in rough shape with negative equity approaching $2 billion, and it has been years since it has operated in the black. I'm a movie lover, and I wish I could say differently, but consumer trends are not working in AMC's favor. In 2024, roughly 760 million movie tickets were sold in the U.S., down from 1.2 billion the year before the pandemic hit. That in turn was down from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, when 1.4 billion or more tickets were sold during most years.

Why Nike Stock Dropped on Friday
Nike announced yesterday it will replace the CEO of its Converse brand. Nike sales sank 10% last year, and its Converse sales fell twice as fast. Nike's earnings shrank by 44% last year, yet the stock costs more than 30x earnings. 10 stocks we like better than Nike › Shares of shoes and sportswear company Nike (NYSE: NKE) gained 1.4% on Thursday before turning tail and losing nearly twice that much Friday. As of 12:45 p.m. ET, the stock is down 2.7%. Believe it or not, both the gain and the loss may have the same cause. As Retail Dive reported yesterday, Nike has decided to release Jared Carver from his role of Converse CEO. In an internal memo, the company named Nike Global Men's VP Aaron Cain to take the reins at Converse. Nike described Cain as a 21-year Nike veteran with "deep global and geography leadership experience," language calculated to get investors excited about the prospect of a turnaround. Unfortunately, Nike may have inadvertently reminded investors that Converse needs a turnaround, and is currently a drag on Nike's bigger business. In its fiscal 2025 earnings report last month, for example, Nike reported a 10% decline in annual revenue, and a 12% decline in sales for Q4 in particular. Conversely (pun intended), Converse sales plunged 19% for the year, and 26% for the quarter. Long story short, Converse was overdue for new management. Now that it's got it, business may improve -- or it may not. All investors know for certain is that right now, Nike is a $110 billion stock that earned $3.2 billion last year, valuing the shares at a rich 34.5 times earnings. Given that sales just fell 10%, and earnings are falling even faster (down 44% last year), it's hard to justify such a rich multiple on a declining stock. Considering that even optimistic analysts don't see Nike growing earnings more than 7% annually over the next five years, it's probably best to just avoid Nike stock for now.

5 Top Dividend Stocks Yielding 5% or More to Buy Right Now for Passive Income
Many high-quality stocks offer dividend yields of 5% or more. They back their payouts with recurring cash flows and high-quality balance sheets. These companies also have solid records of increasing their dividends. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › The S&P 500's (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) dividend yield is approaching record lows at around 1.2%. However, that doesn't mean passive income seekers are out of luck. Several high-quality companies currently offer dividends with yields of 5% or more. Here's a look at five top dividend stocks to buy for passive income right now. Realty Income (NYSE: O) currently has a dividend yield above 5.5%. The real estate investment trust (REIT) backs that payout with a high-quality real estate portfolio and financial profile. The company owns a diversified portfolio (retail, industrial, gaming, and other properties) net leased to many of the world's leading companies. Net leases produce very stable rental income because tenants cover all property operating expenses, including building insurance, real estate taxes, and routine maintenance. The REIT has an exceptional record of paying dividends. It has declared 661 consecutive monthly dividends since its formation. Meanwhile, Realty Income has increased its dividend 131 times since its initial public listing in 1994. It has raised its payout 111 straight quarters and for 30 years in a row. With a durable portfolio and fortress financial profile, Realty Income should have no trouble continuing to increase its high-yielding dividend in the future. Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN.A) (NYSE: CWEN) has a dividend yield currently just below 5.5%. The clean power producer generates lots of stable cash flow to cover its dividend by selling electricity to utilities and large corporate customers under long-term, fixed-rate power purchase agreements. The company uses its financial flexibility to invest in additional income-generating clean energy assets. Clearway has lined up several new investments that it expects to close over the next few years. That gives it a clear line of sight to grow its cash available for dividends from $2.08 per share this year to over $2.50 per share by 2027. That supports the company's plan to increase its high-yielding payout within its 5% to 8% annual target range. Healthpeak Properties (NYSE: DOC) yield is over 6.5%. The healthcare REIT has recently switched to a monthly dividend payment schedule, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to generate passive income. It backs its payout with a high-quality portfolio of healthcare properties (outpatient medical buildings, purpose-built labs, and senior housing communities). The healthcare REIT's portfolio produces stable and growing income to support its high-yielding dividend. Healthpeak also has a very strong financial profile, featuring a conservative dividend payout ratio and investment-grade balance sheet. It currently has $500 million to $1 billion of capacity on its balance sheet to support additional accretive investments and opportunistic share repurchases. As the REIT utilizes its spare investment capacity to grow its cash flow per share, it will be able to continue increasing its healthy dividend. Oneok's (NYSE: OKE) dividend yield exceeds 5%. The energy infrastructure company backs that payout with very stable cash flows. About 90% of its earnings come from fee-based sources. Its stable cash flow profile has enabled Oneok to deliver more than a quarter-century of dividend stability and growth. While the pipeline giant hasn't increased its payout every year, it has nearly doubled its dividend payment over the past decade. The midstream giant aims to increase its high-yielding dividend by 3% to 4% annually over the coming years. Fueling that growth will be a combination of acquisition synergies and expansion projects. Oneok has made several deals over the past few years, including closing its merger with EnLink earlier this year, that will boost its bottom line as it captures cost savings and new commercial opportunities. Additionally, Oneok has several organic expansion projects under construction, including a joint venture to build a new export terminal that should come online in early 2028. Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has a dividend yield approaching 6.5%. The telecom giant generates lots of recurring cash flow as customers pay their wireless and broadband bills. Last year, Verizon generated $19.8 billion in free cash flow after funding $17.1 billion in capital expenditures to expand its 5G and fiber networks. That easily covered its $11.2 billion in dividend payments to shareholders, enabling the company to retain cash to strengthen its already rock-solid balance sheet. The company's free cash flow should grow over the long term as its capital investments expand its network (and revenue) and it closes its accretive acquisition of Frontier Communications. That should enable Verizon to continue increasing its dividend. Last year, it delivered its 18th consecutive annual dividend increase, the longest current streak in the U.S. telecom sector. Realty Income, Clearway Energy, Healthpeak Properties, Oneok, and Verizon all pay dividends with yields above 5%, backed by recurring cash flow and strong balance sheets. Those factors put their high-yielding payouts on rock-solid ground and enable them to invest in growing their businesses, which supports dividend growth. That makes them great stocks to buy and hold to generate passive income.
