Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 26 days.
The thesis — published December 17, 2025
Price looks unusually low short-term and indicators suggest a likely short bounce, but trend signals are still negative so the bounce might fail. A recent $0.24 quarterly dividend makes the stock more attractive to income-focused buyers when prices are weak. Treat this as a short-term trade with strict stops because interest rates drive performance.
Primary drivers
- Price appears oversold, so a short bounce is more likely
- Dividend gives income buyers a reason to buy on weakness
- Agency mortgage holdings lower credit risk versus non-agency peers
- Short-term moves driven mainly by interest rate swings
