AGNC Investment Declares Strong Preferred Stock Dividends, Reinforcing Shareholder Commitment

AGNC Investment Corp. Declares Robust Dividend for Preferred Shares as Part of Strategic Financial Management

AGNC Investment Corp. announces its third-quarter 2025 cash dividends on depositary shares of its preferred stock, reinforcing its commitment to shareholder returns. The Board of Directors declares dividends for five series of preferred stock, reflecting the company's proactive management of its capital structure and financial strategy. Notably, the 7.00% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate (AGNCN) offers a per annum dividend rate of 9.69038%, translating to $0.61911 per depositary share. Other series, including the 6.875% Series D (AGNCM) and the 6.50% Series E (AGNCO), also showcase competitive rates, with dividend amounts of $0.56934 and $0.61157 respectively. This diversified approach to dividend declarations highlights AGNC's focus on maintaining robust returns while managing risk exposure in a fluctuating economic environment.

AGNC's emphasis on preferred stock dividends illustrates its strategic approach to financing and risk management. By leveraging repurchase agreements to finance its Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), the company can optimize its capital allocation while providing solid returns to its investors. The preferred stock series, with varying rates and structures, allows AGNC to appeal to a broad spectrum of investors looking for stable income streams. This strategy not only enhances liquidity but also ensures that AGNC remains a competitive player in the mortgage-backed securities market, which is supported by government-sponsored entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

In the larger context, AGNC's focus on Agency MBS serves as a cornerstone of its investment strategy, providing a safety net against credit losses. This focus helps fortify the company's position as a significant contributor of private capital to the U.S. residential housing market. By consistently delivering favorable long-term returns—having distributed over $14 billion in common stock dividends since its inception—AGNC showcases its resilience and expertise in managing mortgage assets through diverse market cycles. The company’s adeptness in navigating market fluctuations, supported by an experienced management team, positions it favorably for the future.

In addition to the preferred stock dividends, AGNC also declares a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock for September 2025, scheduled for payment on October 9. This highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering value to shareholders.
