If you spent the dividend income you collected instead of reinvesting it, you would have been left with less income and less capital. That's not the outcome any passive income investor would want. But notice the blue line on the chart above (the dividend yield): It has consistently been in the double digits. That's a function of the math behind dividend yields, but it shows that Annaly has always looked like an attractive dividend stock even though it has pretty reliably not been an attractive dividend stoc ...

Two high-octane dividend stocks -- with an average yield of 9.69% -- are ripe for the picking by opportunistic income seekers. Over the last century, the stock market has stood on a pedestal above all other asset classes. While investing in Treasury bonds, housing, gold, and oil would have increased your nominal wealth, none of these other asset classes has come anywhere close to the average annual returns delivered by stocks over the very long term. What makes Wall Street so special is its diversity of inv ...

Before you get sucked in by Annaly Capital's huge 13%-plus dividend yield, you'll want to take a look at the risk of a dividend cut. If there's one thing most dividend investors try to avoid at all costs, it is a dividend trap (a high-yield stock that is about to cut its dividend). But that's the past -- what about the future? Well, things aren't exactly rosy today. For example, Annaly's book value (basically the value of its mortgage bond portfolio) rose between the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first qua ...

Annaly Capital Management (NLY 0.25%) pays a whopping dividend. At its current payment rate, its forward dividend yield is approaching 13%. That's nearly 10 times higher than the S&P 500's dividend yield of slightly more than 1.3% over the past 12 months. Annaly's CEO, David Finkelstein, addressed the dividend concerns head-on during the first-quarter call. "Notwithstanding lower leverage, the prevailing return environment gives us confidence in the durability of the portfolio earnings profile," he said. Th ...

This might seem harsh, but it does resonate in plenty of people's life experiences.

Could you imagine if a cruise ship captain decided to just live in the present and not have a chartered course for his ship? ...

With Annaly Capital Management's net interest margin improving in the last quarter and short-term inflation expectations implying a cooling of core inflation, I think the central bank could soon push the button and initiate the much-awaited rate-cutting cycle. Annaly Capital Management's mortgage-backed security portfolio is ...

Annaly Capital Management's earnings fell short of its dividend payment in the first quarter.Annaly Capital Management (NLY 0.59%) currently offers a monster dividend yield. At 14%, it's 10 times higher than the S&P 500's 1.4% dividend yield. However, the mortgage REIT's earnings during the first quarter were less than its dividend payment. That's a concern because the company has cut its payout in the past due to its inability to outearn its dividend. With market conditions growing more volatile in recent ...
