AGNC Investment: Its High Yield Looks Tempting -- Why the Stock May Be Ready to Rebound
The Motley Fool· 2025-06-07 11:45
Core Viewpoint - AGNC Investment has a high dividend yield of approximately 16%, but its stock price has been declining, raising questions about the sustainability of its payout and whether it is a good investment opportunity [1]. Group 1: Company Overview - AGNC is a mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) that primarily invests in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which carry virtually no credit risk [1]. - The company has faced significant challenges due to rising mortgage interest rates and widening spreads between MBS yields and Treasury yields [2][3]. Group 2: Financial Performance - AGNC's tangible book value (TBV) has decreased by 45% from $15.75 at the end of 2021 to $8.70 per share by the end of 2023, and further declined to $8.25 at the end of Q1 2025 [4]. - The company has maintained its dividend payout despite a challenging environment, although this has impacted its TBV [10]. Group 3: Market Conditions - The Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes have contributed to higher mortgage rates, which have negatively affected AGNC's performance [2]. - The yield curve has been inverted, which is unfavorable for AGNC's income generation model, but it has recently flipped to a positive slope, potentially benefiting the company [7][8]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated potential rate cuts, which could lower AGNC's short-term funding costs and improve MBS valuations, positively impacting TBV [5][6]. - If MBS-to-Treasury yield spreads narrow as banks re-enter the MBS market, AGNC could see a recovery in both its book value and share price, leading to potential total returns of 20% to 25% annually in the coming years [13][14]. Group 5: Investment Considerations - AGNC is characterized as a high-risk, high-reward income investment, with the current market conditions possibly turning in its favor after enduring the impact of higher interest rates [15]. - For income-focused investors, AGNC presents a high yield with strong potential upside, although it requires active management and understanding of associated risks [16].

2025年6月3日利率债观察:为什么我们不担心资金面?
EBSCN· 2025-06-03 03:45
2025 年 6 月 3 日 总量研究 为什么我们不担心资金面? ——2025 年 6 月 3 日利率债观察 要点 1、为什么我们不担心资金面? 2025 年 5 月末 10Y 国债收益率为 1.67%,较 4 月末上行了约 5bp。收益率曲线 长端的上行在很大程度上来源于投资者对资金面的担忧:一些投资者担心央行会 再次主动收紧资金面,还有一些投资者担心 6 月份较大的 CD 到期量会影响银行 体系流动性的充裕程度,也有一些投资者担心存款降息将导致银行负债流失。 我们认为本阶段对资金面无需过度担心。第一,我们认为本阶段货币当局主动收 紧资金面的概率较低。在《春节后资金和债券市场如何演变?——2025 年 1 月 27 日利率债观察》中我们曾阐释"收益率曲线长端过低是……资金利率上行的 重要触发因素"。今年 1 月 10Y 国债与 7D OMO 间利差的均值为 14bp,5 月末 上述利差已修复至 27bp,显然货币当局通过再度抬高资金市场利率引导长债收 益率上行的迫切性已降低。而且,相较于今年第一季度,当前外部环境变化的不 确定性明显加大,此时货币当局对于资金面更为呵护。例如,一季度 DR007 的 均值和波 ...

固收 降准后的资金紧怎么看?

固收 降准后的资金紧怎么看?20250519 摘要 • 近期债市整体偏震荡,受存款调降预期影响,收益率有所下行。市场对存 款利率调降幅度有期待,但预计不会超过贷款基点调降幅度。短期内,债 市可能维持震荡格局。 • 资金面仍然乐观,宽松存在超预期可能。即使短期波动或短端下行空间不 足,短端收益率仍有下降空间,取决于资金松动和价格指数进一步下行。 对收益率曲线平坦化后的走势更有确定性。 • 预计央行流动性投放将保持稳定宽松态势,双降之后央行流动性投放会达 到一个小规模高峰,包括结构性货币政策超额投放以及未来可能的 PSL 投 放,将使价格方向和预期偏向宽松。 • 降准实际落地后出现收紧现象,是由于银行按照 10 天或旬度进行平均法 考核,在新的降准维持期开启时需要补充超额准备金,导致暂时性的收紧。 需从时间点和幅度角度理解。 • 降准公告发布后,机构可以提前使用部分超额准备金,资金宽松效应提前 显现。不必担心降准落地后资金反而收紧,因为前期已经透支了部分宽松 效应。历史上降准实施落地后的两周内,资金价格呈现稳定或边际下行趋 势。 Q&A 最近债市的整体行情如何,主要受到哪些因素影响? 最近债市整体处于波动状态。上 ...
