Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields that pay monthly, because they provide a substantial income stream and offer significant total return potential.

Key Points in This Article: Dividend stocks have proved to be superior investments for decades, and those yielding 10% or more are top-tier performers.
AGNC is an income-focused investment, delivering 246.8% of its initial share price in dividends over 17 years despite share price declines. The current 15.55% yield, monthly payouts, and strong compounding potential make AGNC attractive for income investors, not those seeking capital appreciation. AGNC's improved profitability is driven by higher asset yields, optimized hedging, lower funding costs, and strategic TBA dollar roll management.
AGNC Investment Corp. offers a compelling 15%+ yield, paid monthly, making it a top choice for income-focused portfolios as rates and housing stabilize. The company's diversified, agency-backed mortgage portfolio and strong historical returns support a long-term bullish thesis, despite recent rate-driven volatility. I see opportunity to enhance returns by selling AGNC call options, reinvesting dividends, and using options for cost-effective hedging while awaiting recovery.
AGNC Investment Corp. is in a more stable position, with refinancing risk low and cash flow recovering as it shifts toward higher rate mortgage-backed securities. Recent book value gains have been offset by equity dilution, which I view as a negative for shareholder value, especially given AGNC's low price-to-book ratio last year. AGNC's book value is safer than it was, with low refinancing risk and declining MBS spreads, creating a goldilocks environment for leveraged mortgage owners.
AGNC is rebounding on lower mortgage rates, with first-quarter net interest income turning positive after last year's loss.
