AGNC continues aggressive share issuance. Economic returns remain negative, with high leverage amplifying risk and making sustainable profitability unlikely in current conditions. AGNC's performance during economic downturns has been poor, challenging the notion that it is recession-resistant.
AGNC misses Q2 earnings estimates as lower net interest spread and book value weigh on its performance.
AGNC Investment (AGNC) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.38 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.53 per share a year ago.
While most of Wall Street focuses on large and mega-cap stocks, as they provide a degree of safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in the number of shares they can buy.
Quarterly payers are the norm.
AGNC Investment (AGNC -0.38%), a mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT), pays a whopping forward dividend yield of 15.7%. It makes those payments on a monthly basis.
I analyze Barron's Mid-Year 2025 Roundtable Pro Picks using the yield-based 'dogcatcher' method to identify high-yield, safer dividend stocks. AT&T, Tegna, and Pitney Bowes stand out as 'safer' dividend dogs, with prices below annual dividends from $1,000 invested, signaling attractive entry points.

The big story around AGNC Investment (AGNC -1.07%) is its shockingly large dividend yield of more than 15%. To put that yield into perspective, the S&P 500 index (^GSPC -0.40%) is yielding just 1.3%, and the average real estate investment trust (REIT) is offering 4.1%.
