AGNC Stock Recent News

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. Recent additions to Enbridge, Truist Financial, and Rithm Capital are based on attractive valuations, strong dividend yields, and growth potential in a lower-rate environment.

Please stop buying up AGNC – I love its high yield and unloved status. You need to collect income from other places too. Leave this one to me. Retirement isn't cheap, so buying on-sale income makes perfect sense.

Within the mREIT industry, AGNC Investment Corp. AGNC and Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. ABR present compelling opportunities for income-focused investors, yet they differ significantly in risk profiles, dividend sustainability and growth trajectory.

AGNC is an income-focused investment, delivering 246.8% of its initial share price in dividends over 17 years despite share price declines. The current 15.55% yield, monthly payouts, and strong compounding potential make AGNC attractive for income investors, not those seeking capital appreciation. AGNC's improved profitability is driven by higher asset yields, optimized hedging, lower funding costs, and strategic TBA dollar roll management.

AGNC Investment Corp. (AGNC -0.22%) appears to be an attractive investment option for those seeking a robust income stream, thanks to its impressive dividend yield of 15.6%. Its high yield stands out especially for investors seeking to generate passive income from their holdings.

AGNC Investment Corp. is in a more stable position, with refinancing risk low and cash flow recovering as it shifts toward higher rate mortgage-backed securities. Recent book value gains have been offset by equity dilution, which I view as a negative for shareholder value, especially given AGNC's low price-to-book ratio last year. AGNC's book value is safer than it was, with low refinancing risk and declining MBS spreads, creating a goldilocks environment for leveraged mortgage owners.
