Dynex Capital (DX) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Dynex Capital, Inc. is a mortgage real estate investment trust (mREIT) that primarily invests in agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) guaranteed by U.S. government entities such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The company’s core business involves acquiring residential and commercial mortgage-backed assets, managing portfolio duration and yield through active portfolio management and funding these investments largely with short- and long-term debt financing.

To mitigate interest rate and prepayment risks, Dynex Capital employs a variety of hedging strategies, including interest rate swaps, swaptions and Treasury futures. The firm seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by capturing the spread between the interest income earned on its mortgage assets and the cost of borrowing. Dynex Capital’s funding sources include repurchase agreements, senior unsecured debt and subordinated notes, which it tailors to align with its portfolio’s maturity profile and interest rate outlook.

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Dynex Capital focuses exclusively on United States mortgage markets. Organized as a Delaware corporation, the company operates under a board-governance structure and is externally managed by professionals with experience in mortgage investing and risk management. Since its initial public offering in the late 1980s, Dynex Capital has maintained a disciplined approach to portfolio construction and capital allocation within the regulatory framework applicable to REITs.
