Upturn Advisory & Investor View for AGNC

10/23/2026: AGNC (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

AGNC Investment Corp. is a mortgage real estate investment trust that primarily invests in residential mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. The company has a leading position in the mREIT sector, known for its internal management structure and proactive use of derivatives to hedge interest rate risk. While it offers a significant monthly dividend that attracts income-focused investors, the business model carries inherent risks related to interest rate volatility and leverage. Investors should monitor the company's book value per share and net interest margins closely, as macroeconomic shifts often dictate performance. It is best suited for those seeking high current income, provided they can tolerate share price fluctuations.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
AGNC receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
AGNC has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with strong financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+93.5%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 34.2%) are partially offset by negative revenue growth (-60.8%), very low insider ownership of 0.36%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
AGNC's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 100.0% and operating margin of 236.3%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 5-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is AGNC's strongest growth driver at +659.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+93.5%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (-60.8%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 41.0% and approximately 105.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.36%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

BlackRock Inc 5.45%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.35%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 3.89%
UBS Group AG 2.30%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 2.07%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
AGNC generates approximately $1,000 of gross profit, $2,363 of operating income, and $342 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and moderate cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 0.00%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
AGNC has a large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
