Can AGNC Finally Sustain Its Double-Digit Yield?

AGNC Investment Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) is one of the most requested stocks in the Safety Net column because of its high yield. Today, the mortgage broker yields 14%, so you can understand why it's so popular.

But does it deserve its adulation from the income investing crowd?

More importantly, can those investors rely on that juicy 14% yield?

When I last looked at AGNC's dividend safety in January, the company had not yet reported fourth quarter 2022 results. At that time, net interest income (NII) was forecast to be $1.5 billion for 2022, falling to $1.3 billion in 2023.

AGNC didn't come close to hitting last year's projection.

NII totaled $965 million, down from $1.29 billion the year before. The good news is that NII is now expected to rise to $1.37 billion this year.

The One Signal That Can Tell You Exactly When to Get Back Into Stocks

Something Unusual Happened Right Here
 

We saw this one signal occur during the coronavirus crash when Oracle's stock bottomed out.

Oracle immediately soared from $39 to nearly $100 over the next 18 months.

You should absolutely be looking for this one specific signal in stocks right now if you want to win big.

See it for yourself here.

There's more good news. AGNC paid shareholders $869 million in dividends, or 90% of NII.

For a mortgage real estate investment trust, anything below 100% is solid. This year's estimated $894 million in dividends will be just 65% of the projected $1.37 billion in NII - an even better margin.

So the dividend looks fine if AGNC comes anywhere close to the estimates.

However, AGNC has a horrid track record when it comes to its dividend.
