Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 29 days.
The thesis — published December 11, 2025
ARMOUR is attractive mainly for its high monthly income. If interest rates ease a bit, the price could bounce, but the company uses heavy borrowing so its shares can move up and down a lot. The recent 24 cent monthly dividend and attention in income-focused articles make it appealing for income seekers, but concentration in mortgage REITs means keep position sizes small.
Primary drivers
- Better-than-average scores show higher yield compared to peers.
- Very weak recent price action supports a short-term rebound chance.
- A 0.24 monthly dividend strengthens the steady income case.
- Concentration in mortgage REITs means keep position sizes controlled.
