Monthly dividend yield 16.4% Yield based on $0.24 May 2026 common dividend
Agency CMBS financial
"ARMOUR Portfolio Composition | % of Portfolio | Market Value (in $ millions) | Effective Duration Agency CMBS | 6.0 %"
Agency CMBS are bonds made by pooling commercial real estate loans (like office, retail or apartment mortgages) and selling slices to investors, with the offering issued or guaranteed by a government-backed agency. They matter because the agency backing typically lowers default risk and makes the bonds easier to buy and sell, so investors treat them like a relatively safer, more liquid way to get income — but they still face interest-rate and prepayment risks.
repurchase financing financial
"access to equity capital and repurchase financing at potentially attractive rates and terms"
Interest Rate Swaps financial
"ARMOUR Interest Rate Swaps Maturity (months) | Notional Amount (in $ millions)"
A contract between two parties to exchange streams of interest payments, typically swapping a fixed-rate payment for a floating-rate payment or vice versa. Think of it like two neighbors agreeing to trade the type of mortgage payments they make to reduce uncertainty or take advantage of expected rate moves; investors care because swaps change a company’s borrowing costs and risk exposure, which can materially affect cash flow, creditworthiness, and valuation.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"constitute “forward-looking statements” made within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
liquidity financial
"Liquidity (3) (in millions) | 1,188.5 Liquidity as Percentage of Total Capital | 49 %"
Liquidity is how easily and quickly an asset or investment can be converted into cash without losing value. It matters to investors because higher liquidity means they can access their money quickly if needed, while lower liquidity can make it harder to sell assets promptly or at a fair price, potentially creating financial challenges. Think of it like trying to sell a common item versus a rare collectible—it's much easier to sell the common item fast.
repurchase financing financial
"BUCKLER Securities, LLC, is the largest provider of repurchase financing to ARMOUR."

and risk management of a leveraged and diversified portfolio of mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S
Government-sponsored entities. We rely on the decades of experience of our management team for (i) MBS securities portfolio
analysis and selection, (ii) access to equity capital and repurchase financing at potentially attractive rates and terms, and (iii)
hedging and liquidity strategies to moderate interest rate and MBS price risk. We prioritize maintaining common share dividends
appropriate for the intermediate term rather than focusing on short-term market fluctuations.
