AGNC Investment offers a 12.16% yield, recent strong price gains, and agency MBS exposure that reduces credit risk while delivering income and upside.
Dividend investing draws in many with the promise of steady income, but chasing high yields carries real dangers. High yields often signal trouble: a stock price drop from poor performance might inflate the yield artificially, masking risks like dividend cuts if earnings weaken. Rising interest rates can also make these stocks less appealing compared to safer bonds, triggering outflows and further price declines.
