What are Wall Street analysts saying about AGNC Investment stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AGNC Investment stock:
- 1. Maxim Group analysts commented, "AGNC reported a 2Q19 comprehensive loss of ($0.15) per share, versus its 2Q19 dividend of $0.50, so tangible book value (TBV) per share was down 3.8%. Based on a lower TBV, we are lowering our price target to $18, from $18.50, which equates to 1.06x estimated current TBV of $17 (versus 1.07x for our previous price target), which is at the high end of the range of its peers. Management is optimistic about AGNC’s prospects in the current environment, because AGNC: 1) is well-positioned for higher prepayments; 2) has locked in the benefit of Fed rate cuts; 3) should benefit from lower LIBOR funding; and 4) has authorization for additional share repurchases. These are all positives, in our view." (7/26/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of AGNC Investment have underperformed its industry in the past six months. Further, the trend in estimate revisions of 2019 earnings does not indicate a favorable outlook for the company. Notably, as the company prioritizes risk management over incremental profits, robust returns will likely remain elusive in the short run. In addition, flattening yield curve and challenging global economic environment remain headwinds for the company. Also, its tangible net book value remains exposed to changes in the spread between the company’s investments and other benchmark rates. Nonetheless, a strong capital position and access to a diverse funding base are expected to provide significant financial flexibility to AGNC Investment, going forward." (4/5/2019)
