Description: NLY Annaly Capital Management

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NLY) is a diversified capital manager focused on the residential mortgage finance business. The company invests across a broad range of mortgage-related assets, including agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), non-agency residential whole loans and securitized products, mortgage servicing rights, agency commercial MBS, to-be-announced forward contracts, residential mortgage loans, and credit risk transfer securities.

The company operates as a real estate investment trust (REIT), which allows it to avoid federal income tax on earnings distributed to shareholders. Annaly was incorporated in 1996 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

As a mortgage REIT, Annaly primarily earns income from the net interest spread between the yields on its mortgage-related assets and the costs of financing those holdings. Agency MBS are typically guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which generally carry lower credit risk than non-agency mortgage products.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts compress net interest margin
  • Agency MBS spreads widen versus Treasuries
  • Dividend cut risk rises as book value erodes
