Chimera Investment Corporation offers a diversified capital structure with a significant portion in residential mortgage loans and agency RMBS. CIM's fixed-to-floating preferred stocks, trading below par with yields above 10.2%-10.8%, now present a superior risk-reward profile versus baby bonds. Leverage has increased to 3.3x, raising risk, but CIM maintains a solid credit buffer and stable portfolio fundamentals.

Chimera Investment Corporation preferred C shares offer a 10.39% floating yield, trading at 97.8% of our buy target. CIM-C presents a more attractive valuation and higher yield than CIM-A, despite both carrying a risk rating of 4. CIM-A trades above our buy target and offers a lower yield (9.74%), making it less compelling versus CIM-C for income-focused investors.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of Chimera Investment Corporation (“Chimera”) has declared its third quarter cash dividend of $0.45 per common share, consistent with dividends for the first and second quarters of 2026 and in line with the Board's previously stated expectation to maintain the $0.45 quarterly dividend throughout 2026. The dividend is payable on October 30, 2026 to common shareholders of record on September 30, 2026. The ex-dividend date is September 30, 2026. Ab.

Chimera Investment Corporation offers four cumulative preferreds, each with distinct coupon structures and call features for yield-seeking investors. CIM-B currently provides the highest yield among the preferreds at 10.4%, likely due to its position in the call sequence and floating rate add-on. None of the preferreds offer official call protection, and CIM has no history of calling its preferreds, impacting yield and call risk assessments.

Chimera Investment Corporation (CIM) preferred share CIM-A is significantly overpriced, trading at 110.7% of the buy target despite a 9.27% stripped yield. CIM-B offers superior value with a 10.24% stripped yield, trading near its buy target and providing better income for similar risk. The fixed-rate feature of CIM-A is not worth the current premium, especially with alternative fixed-rate securities available at more attractive valuations.

Chimera Investment Corporation trades at a large 32% discount to book value, offering a compelling entry for high-yield investors. CIM increased its dividend by 22% in Q1'26, fully supported by earnings available for distribution with a 102% coverage ratio in Q2. Despite strong dividend and portfolio growth, CIM's book value discount persists due to market skepticism about near-term rate cuts.

Chimera Investment NYSE: CIM reported second-quarter 2026 earnings available for distribution, or EAD, of $39 million, or $0.46 per share, as the company continued to reposition its investment portfolio toward agency mortgage-backed securities and residential credit opportunities.
