AGNCL AGNC Investment Corp. — dividend yield, history & ex-dividend dates
AGNC Investment Corp. is a U.S.-based real estate investment trust (REIT). The company primarily invests in residential mortgage-backed securities, specifically pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), where the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by either a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or a federal agency. These investments are largely funded through collateralized borrowings, commonly structured as repurchase agreements. Having elected REIT tax status under the 1986 Internal Revenue Code, AGNC is exempt from federal corporate income taxes, provided it distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders. The company, which was established in 2008 and is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, was formerly known as American Capital Agency Corp. before adopting the AGNC Investment Corp. name in September 2016.

Closes through Oct 23, 2026
The lowest and highest price over the past year, showing where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
-
The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.Years Paying

Dividend Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
AGNCL's dividend yield rose from 7.73% to 8.13% over the past ~90 days (+0.41 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.41 pp from the share price ($25.08 on Aug 03, 2026 → $23.82 on Oct 30, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 272 daily observations over the past 13 months (through Oct 23, 2026), AGNCL's current yield is higher than approximately 100% of them. Our stored price history for AGNCL covers the past 13 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
