PRA begins to weaken amid absence of news, Michael Kao writes
PRA weakens after event catalyst fades

Michael Kao, CIO at Akadia Capital, writes about his 'Lead Zeppelin Mental Model,' noting that asymmetric short candidates can be supported by event catalysts that may be withdrawn unexpectedly.

He describes PRA as a classic example of this model and observes that it is starting to show weakness despite no new developments.

Kao has previously examined CLO market concerns using CIFC Asset Management charts, highlighting structural resilience as of his recent analysis of the CLO structure. He also reported on the release of ECC's Q126 results for May 19, 2026. His recent commentary continues a pattern of focusing on both structural and event-driven risks.
