NLY

NYSE issues a pre-market daily advisory direct from the trading floor. NEW YORK, Sept.

Some of the highest-yielding dividend stocks on the market carry a hidden cost that erases thousands of dollars every single year, and the bracket you sit in determines just how severe that damage gets.

Annaly Capital Management offers a 13% dividend yield, currently covered by Q2 EAD of $0.79 versus a $0.75 dividend. NLY trades at 1.14x book value, limiting margin of safety despite improving fundamentals and diversified portfolio exposure. Strong hedging (97% ratio) and portfolio diversification support earnings, but modest dividend coverage and premium valuation temper upside.

At the 24% federal bracket, a $500,000 portfolio built around mortgage REITs, BDCs, and net-lease REITs throws off enough ordinary-income distributions to hand the IRS roughly $13,000 every year in a taxable account.

Annaly Capital Management is rated Buy at $22.94, with a base case fair value of $25.55, implying 11.4% price upside. NLY's diversified allocation across Agency MBS, Residential Credit, and MSR supports a blended target return of 14.58%, well above its 11.5% cost of equity. Agency segment growth, falling funding costs, and rising asset yields are driving returns toward management's 14%-16% target range.

Mortgage rates fall for a second week, potentially aiding EFC, NLY & AGNC as refinancing rises and lower rates support mortgage-market activity.

Rithm Capital offers the best combination of strong dividend coverage (2.4x) and a substantial discount to book value (~0.82x). Annaly Capital earns a Buy rating for its consistent dividend coverage and improving fundamentals, despite trading above book value and thinner coverage. Dynex Capital and Armour Residential provide higher yields but lack sufficient earnings cushion, making their dividends less attractive relative to risk and valuation.

ALL, ANET, NLY, IT and AME stand out as high-ROE, cash-rich stocks as market volatility intensifies amid bond yield swings.
