Spark’s Take on NLY Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NLY is a Neutral.
The score reflects improved but still riskier fundamentals: strong recent recovery and cash generation are offset by very high leverage and earnings volatility. Technicals are supportive with price above major moving averages, valuation is attractive with a moderate P/E and very high yield, and the latest earnings call was broadly positive with dividend coverage and continued economic returns.
