What Moves the Stock
01Federal Reserve policy shifts and forward guidance on rate trajectory—affects both asset yields and financing costs asymmetrically
02Yield curve steepness (2s10s spread)—steeper curves expand net interest margins as short-term funding costs fall relative to longer-duration MBS yields
03Mortgage prepayment speeds—faster prepayments (driven by refinancing activity) force reinvestment at lower yields and compress returns
04Book value per share changes—driven by mark-to-market movements in MBS portfolio and hedge effectiveness
05Dividend sustainability signals—monthly dividend coverage ratio and management commentary on distribution policy
06Net interest income from agency MBS portfolio (95%+ of revenue) - spread between asset yields and repo financing costs
07Realized gains/losses on MBS sales and interest rate hedges (volatile, timing-dependent)
08Dollar roll income from TBA market transactions (supplemental income stream)
dividend - Retail and income-focused investors attracted by 10-15% dividend yields, though sustainability is questionable.
extreme - This is the dominant risk factor.
Watch on earnings: 2-year/10-year Treasury spread (T10Y2Y)—primary driver of net interest margin potential, Federal funds rate and FOMC dot plot—determines short-term funding costs and rate trajectory expectations, 30-year fixed mortgage rates (MORTGAGE30US)—drives refinancing activity and prepayment speeds.
