Dividend CoverageCore earnings consistently cover the dividend, supporting a high yield and suggesting durable cash returns for investors.
Risk Management And PositioningScale, diversification, and best-in-class risk management have helped preserve book value under stress, positioning the company to capture upside as the mortgage market expands.
Bears Say
Book Value And Earnings PressureA recent decline in book value has prompted downward revisions to earnings per share estimates, indicating potential pressure on reported results and shareholder returns.
Liquidity And Funding RiskVolatility in spreads and dependence on secured financing markets could reduce liquidity and increase funding costs, weakening financial flexibility.
Prepayment And Convexity RiskIntroduction of a 50-year Agency mortgage product could raise prepayment and convexity risk in the market, potentially pressuring yields and non-Agency lenders' profitability.
