BETHESDA, Md. - AGNC Investment Corp. (NASDAQ:AGNC) announced Thursday that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock for August 2025.

The dividend will be paid on September 10, 2025, to stockholders of record as of August 29, 2025, according to a press release issued by the company.

AGNC Investment Corp., founded in 2008, is an investor in Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Agency MBS). These securities are guaranteed against credit losses by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae.

The company finances its Agency MBS assets primarily through repurchase agreements and employs risk management strategies to protect its portfolio from interest rate and market risks.

Since its inception, AGNC has paid over $14 billion in common stock dividends. The firm provides private capital for the U.S. residential housing market.

In other recent news, AGNC Investment Corp reported its second-quarter earnings, revealing a comprehensive loss of $0.13 per share. This result was significantly below analyst expectations of $0.41 per share, attributed to widening mortgage spreads amid market volatility. The company also posted a net loss of $0.17 per share, contrasting with a $0.02 gain in the previous quarter. Additionally, net spread and dollar roll income, important profitability metrics for mortgage REITs, were reported at $0.38 per share, a decline from $0.44 in the first quarter. BofA Securities responded by raising its price target for AGNC Investment to $9.25 from $8.50, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. AGNC’s core earnings per share for the second quarter stood at $0.38, missing both BofA Securities and consensus forecasts of $0.41. The discrepancy was largely due to ATM issuance and reduced spread income. These developments are part of AGNC’s recent financial performance updates.
