TTM net margin at 87% for AGNC Investment

  • Over the last 12 months, AGNC Investment reported net income of about US$2.1b on US$2.4b of total revenue, which translates into an 87% net profit margin compared with 47.6% a year earlier.
  • Analysts' consensus view links this very high margin and strong trailing earnings growth with expectations that revenue will decline about 17% per year and earnings about 8.9% per year over the next three years, so the recent margin strength sits alongside forecasts that point to falling top line and profit.

Q2 swings stand out versus recent quarters

  • Quarterly numbers show how choppy results have been, with Q2 2026 revenue of US$684 million and net income of US$610 million following a Q1 2026 period where revenue declined US$114 million and net income showed a loss of US$192 million.
  • Critics highlighting the bearish narrative on interest rate volatility and Agency MBS spreads see this pattern as consistent with their concerns, as prior quarters also saw revenue losses of US$112 million and a net loss of US$178 million in Q2 2025 when conditions were pressured.
For investors trying to weigh those swings against the more optimistic arguments about stable MBS spreads and interest rates, it can help to see how the full bull case lines up with the latest figures 🐂 AGNC Investment Bull Case.

Low 6x P/E versus sector and DCF fair value

  • The stock trades on a TTM P/E of about 6x at a share price of US$10.78, compared with an industry average of 11x, a peer average of 10.5x, and a DCF fair value of roughly US$18.02.
  • Supporters of a more bullish narrative point to this discount together with very strong trailing earnings growth, while bears focus on the flagged risks that free cash flow does not fully cover the 13.36% dividend yield and that operating cash flow is not described as comfortably covering debt obligations.
