Annaly Capital offers a high 16.9% dividend yield, paying $3 annually, but its sustainability depends on three critical factors: the net interest margin between mortgage income and borrowing costs, book value per share, and leverage levels. The company’s earnings covered the dividend for nine quarters, but rising short-term borrowing costs and market expectations of book value erosion pose risks. Investors should closely watch Annaly’s upcoming book value report and earnings to gauge if the dividend remains supported by earnings or is paid from capital, as past dividend cuts followed similar financial stresses.
