BTCCSquare news:
AGNC Investment's eye-popping 14.8% dividend yield is drawing income hunters, but seasoned investors know this mortgage REIT operates differently than traditional property-owning trusts. The company's payout fluctuates with its portfolio of mortgage-backed securities—more akin to a bond fund than a stable dividend stock.
Unlike conventional REITs that generate predictable rental income, AGNC's dividends mirror the volatility of its underlying assets. Historical data shows its payouts and share price move in tandem with interest rate shifts and housing market dynamics. This isn't passive income—it's a Leveraged bet on mortgage spreads.
