The company reported $27.6 million in net income for the third quarter, up 25% from a year ago. On the public offering, Invesco will grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1.3 million shares to cover over-allotments. The company expects to use the proceeds to make more acquisitions of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, as opposed to paying off debt.
