Description: CIM Chimera Investment January 19, 2026

Chimera Investment Corp. (NYSE:CIM) is a U.S. mortgage REIT that acquires a diversified mix of mortgage-related securities-including agency and non-agency residential MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities, business-purpose loans, and transition loans-across investment-grade, non-investment-grade, and non-rated categories. The firm meets REIT tax criteria by committing to distribute at least 90 % of taxable income as dividends.

Key recent metrics (as of Q4 2024): the dividend yield sits near 7.2 %, the net asset value (NAV) per share is roughly $12.30, and the portfolio’s weighted-average duration is about 3.5 years, making it moderately sensitive to changes in the Fed funds rate. The REIT’s performance is closely tied to the spread between mortgage-backed security yields and Treasury rates, as well as the overall health of the U.S. housing market and credit-quality trends in the non-agency sector.

If you’re looking for a deeper quantitative breakdown of Chimera’s risk profile and valuation, ValueRay’s mortgage-REIT dashboard offers granular data that can help you assess whether the current yield compensates for interest-rate and credit-spread exposure.
