What are Wall Street analysts saying about AGNC Investment stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about AGNC Investment stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "AGNC Investment delivered better-than-expected third-quarter results with improvement in comprehensive income per common share. Further, despite the challenging market conditions, the company posted decent economic return on tangible common equity. Prudent hedging strategies and continuous portfolio repositioning efforts have insulated the company’s portfolio from interest rate risks and high prepayment speed. Further, investments in low coupon mortgage backed securities (MBS) and hedge portfolio is a strategic fit. However, shares of the company have underperformed its industry in the year-to-date period. Also, elevated funding cost as compared to LIBOR is likely to mar its near-term performance. Furthermore, a challenging global economic environment and increased volatility in the market remain concerns." (11/1/2019)
2. 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)
