NLY Stock Recent News

If you're looking for high-yield dividend stocks, I've got some good news. A couple of mortgage REITs offer eye-popping yields, and there's a chance they'll be able to maintain their payouts.

Since my last writing, long-term treasury rates have declined enough to cause a negative yield spread, a potential headwind for NLY. However, the narrowing of the yield spread is more than offset by other positive developments. The top two on my list are the bullish technical trading patterns and also the outlook of future interest cuts in the next ~3 months.

Two standout "safer" stocks, AT&T and Annaly Capital, meet the dogcatcher ideal, offering high yields relative to their prices.
