Banc of California's Series F Preferred stock offers a current yield of about 7.65%, with a yield-to-call nearing 8% due to an upcoming dividend. The shares trade slightly above par, introducing call risk, which makes them suitable for short-term fixed income strategies with careful position sizing. The bank's CET1 capital ratio is below 10% but is projected to exceed 10% by early 2027, providing some equity buffer for preferred shareholders. The high yield reflects embedded credit risk, with potential downside if credit quality or interest rates worsen, while upside gains are limited by the call feature. The stock will pay five dividends over roughly 13 months, including the first call date, enhancing its appeal for income-focused investors.
