Description: NLY Annaly Capital Management January 03, 2026

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE:NLY) is a diversified capital manager that operates primarily in the mortgage-finance sector. The firm’s investment portfolio includes agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) backed by residential mortgages, non-agency residential whole loans and securitized products, mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), agency commercial MBS, forward contracts, residential mortgage loans, and credit-risk-transfer securities. Structured as a real-estate investment trust (REIT), NLY avoids federal income tax on earnings it distributes to shareholders, aligning its cash-flow needs with dividend payouts.

Key quantitative indicators as of the most recent filing show a dividend yield near 7.5 % and a weighted-average coupon of roughly 3.1 % on its agency MBS holdings, reflecting the low-rate environment that has compressed net interest margins. The REIT’s portfolio is heavily weighted toward agency MBS (≈ 85 % of total assets), making it highly sensitive to Federal Reserve policy and Treasury yield movements; a 25-basis-point rise in the 10-year Treasury rate historically translates to a 0.5-percentage-point dip in NLY’s net interest margin. Additionally, the company’s exposure to mortgage-prepayment risk is mitigated by its sizable MSR holdings, which tend to generate stable cash flows when rates rise and prepayments slow.

For a deeper, data-driven view of NLY’s risk-adjusted performance and sensitivity to interest-rate shifts, the ValueRay platform provides a granular analytics dashboard worth exploring.
