Big Dividend Yielders At A Glance
We all learn over time. Some of us more than others. The agency mortgage REIT price-to-book ratios are getting really high, except for the weaker ones.

Big dividends sound great, but how about big losses? Since Q2 2025 began, book values got smacked. Not talking about share prices. You can tell if the share price declined (hopefully). That would be a worthless article. One of these high-yield sectors has been doing much better than the others.

Chimera preferred stock remains attractive with a 9.0% yield, wide dividend safety margin, and resilience through economic downturns. Current economic uncertainty and high government debt make fixed-income yields like Chimera's especially appealing versus likely lower S&P 500 returns. Chimera's common dividend history and improved loan metrics support the safety of preferred dividends even in recession scenarios.
