Two Mortgage REITs Yield More Than 16%. Their Share Prices Tell Another Story
24/7 Wall St. examines high dividend yields at AGNC Investment and Annaly Capital, emphasizing that falling share prices can raise quoted yields without improving an investor's underlying economics. The source's publication-period figures placed both mortgage REITs' forward yields above 16%.
The article compares dividends with distributable earnings and highlights relatively narrow coverage, leverage and historical payout reductions. It also discusses several non-REIT income stocks. Its main caution is that yield should be assessed alongside earnings quality, financing exposure and capital losses, rather than treated as a standalone measure of investment attractiveness.
