Dynex Capital, Inc. operates as a mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT), primarily engaging in the leveraged acquisition of various mortgage-backed securities (MBS) within the United States. Its investment portfolio includes both agency and non-agency MBS. Agency MBS are distinguished by a principal payment guarantee from a U.S. government entity or a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE), such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In contrast, non-agency MBS do not possess this governmental backing. Dynex's holdings specifically encompass residential MBS, commercial MBS (CMBS), and certain CMBS interest-only instruments. For federal income tax purposes, the company holds the designation of a real estate investment trust. This status typically exempts Dynex Capital from federal corporate income tax liabilities, provided it distributes a minimum of 90% of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Established in 1987, the firm maintains its corporate headquarters in Glen Allen, Virginia.

Key Metrics
Current Yield
16.29%
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Dividend
$2.0400
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
M Monthly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
45.5
Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
34
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$11.85 – $14.74
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
77.29% (EPS-based)
The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.Years Paying
38
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.Price / Book
0.71
Price-to-book ratio: share price divided by book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

Dividend Growth
3-Yr Growth (CAGR)8.3%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.

Consecutive Increases1 yrThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
DX's dividend yield rose from 15.57% to 16.29% over the past ~90 days (+0.72 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.72 pp from the share price ($13.10 → $12.52). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
