Annaly reported decent Q1 earnings, driven by an improved net interest spread and higher interest income. The mortgage REIT's earnings resilience has led to the announcement of an 8% dividend increase in Q1'25. The Federal Reserve's potential rate cuts in 2025 could further boost Annaly's mortgage-backed security portfolio, enhancing its appeal.

Annaly Capital's exposure to geopolitical risk is high due to potential foreign MBS sales, particularly from China, Japan, and Taiwan, which could impact mortgage spreads. After the recent correction, Annaly's dividend yield and valuation remain attractive. With a 14.5% yield and a price near book value, it offers high-reward potential. The risk of increased mortgage delinquency has risen, but is mitigated by strong bank demand for MBS and potential government intervention.

If you go sifting the market for ultra-high-yield dividend payers, it won't take long before you land on Annaly Capital Management (NLY -0.34%). The stock offers a dividend yield above 14% at recent prices.
