AGNC Stock Recent News

Chasing high dividend yields is risky due to unsustainable payouts and eroding book value. One of the biggest players here is still showing strong earnings, but it's temporary. It's driven by expiring interest rate swaps. Earnings have declined substantially over the last two years as the net spread shrank.

The prevailing sentiment surrounding AGNC Investment Corp. has turned quite bullish since my last writing.

Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields that pay monthly, because they provide a substantial income stream and offer significant total return potential.

Fed's decision to hold rates steady provides ongoing opportunities to add to REITs and financials, which, I believe, will benefit from future rate cuts. Despite market volatility and geopolitical tensions, my Dividend Harvesting Portfolio continues to meet my income and growth goals with a 26.56% return on invested capital.
