Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 71% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 9, 2025
ARMOUR pays a high monthly dividend and looks like it may be starting to trend higher as interest rates show signs of calming. Recent company news confirmed the $0.24 monthly payout, which keeps income investors interested. If long term rates fall or stop rising, the stock could gain a bit in price on top of the dividend.
Primary drivers
- Early signs of a price upswing that may continue as rates calm.
- Holds government-backed mortgages that pay high income but react to rates.
- Recent dividend declarations confirm the $0.24 monthly payment.
- If long-term rates ease, the stock price could rise in addition to yield.
How it played out
ARR: thesis partly played out but missed the target
Lyra published ARR at $17.12 on 2025-12-09 with an 18% expected gain. The thesis pointed to a high monthly dividend, early signs of a price upswing, government-backed mortgage holdings, the confirmed $0.24 monthly payout, and the idea that calmer long-term rates could support the price.
Inside the window, ARR rose, but it did not reach $19.92. The peak was $19.31 on 2026-01-16, with a 12.8% gain. It never got there. By 2026-03-09, the stock ended at $17.27. The published thesis partly played out, but the target was missed.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
