Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 45 days.
The thesis — published December 12, 2025
Dynex is a trade focused on income: it pays about a 14.6% trailing dividend, which can draw buyers when interest rates look stable. The stock has been sold a lot recently, so a short-term bounce is possible, but price can be uneven because trading depends heavily on funding costs and bond spread swings. Add shares gradually and reassess if yields jump or investors flee risk.
Primary drivers
- Big dividend yield can attract income-seeking buyers into year-end
- Recent heavy selling raises the chance of a short-term rebound
- Changes in funding costs and hedges can cause quick price moves
- Interest-rate swings are the main risk for this leveraged REIT
