AGNC Dividend

Is AGNC a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

• !Yield is far above the marketAt 16.13%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.81% across US dividend payers. A yield rises when a share price falls, so an unusually high figure often reflects what the market expects rather than what management has promised.
• ·Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 30.64 exceeds reported earnings, which is normal for a REIT: large depreciation charges push accounting earnings well below the cash the business actually collects. Analysts judge REIT dividends against funds from operations instead.
• !Dividend has been cut 7 timesAcross 18 complete years, the annual total fell in 2017, 2019, 2020 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2020.
• ·Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
