Updates Since 2023 It's been over six months since I wrote about it in December of last year, so there are some things to recap first. Dividend History (Seeking Alpha) The first is, to its credit, NLY has not experienced any further cuts in its quarterly dividend. This tracks with when rate hikes finally halted.

That's the first hard question you'll face when it comes to Annaly Capital (NLY 2.46%), and it will likely be followed by an even harder one: Should you buy it? Most real estate investment trusts buy physical properties and then lease them to tenants, collecting the rents and using that cash flow to distribute dividends to investors. In fact, REITs were specifically created to allow retail investors to participate in ...

Further, the company is focused on diversifying its investment portfolio. The company seeks to stabilize and diversify its investment portfolio through investing in Agency MBS and residential credit. NLY's strong liquidity position enables it to reinvest in the franchise. In 2022, it sold its Middle Market Lending portfolio and exited its commercial real estate business.

The structure is popular with tenants because they get lower rental rates and can exercise control over the property. For landlords, it removes the necessity of having local infrastructure or hiring local property manageme ...

The first screen that most dividend investors use is often based on dividend yield. The cutoff is normally on the low side, say 4%, so you limit your candidate list to high-yield stocks. However, after some point, higher yields don't necessarily indicate desirable opportunities. That's the case with Annaly Capital (NLY -0.95%) and its dividend yield of 12.8%. Sure, that's a huge yield, but you need to understand these three facts before you buy it. For starters, mortgage bonds are traded all day long while ...

Don't be too surprised if Annaly Capital Management reduces its eye-popping yield sooner or later. Income-focused investors sometimes flock to real estate stocks for their typically hefty yields.

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 ...
