AGNC Investment, a real estate investment trust, currently offers an impressive dividend yield of nearly 15%, greatly exceeding the S&P 500’s low yield of 1.2%. The company employs leverage to enhance its returns on mortgage-backed securities, generating more income than it pays in dividends. Despite past dividend cuts during challenging market conditions, AGNC has maintained a stable payment of $0.12 per share monthly for over four years. Although the company anticipates improved conditions from recent interest rate cuts, risks remain, particularly from inflation and unexpected market events.
